Minnie,
I saw your message and wanted to reply for two reasons. First, if you can obtain a copy of
the "Chapin Book" you can trace the Chapin Family up to the 1920's. This
book is complete and the best source of info on Chapin Geneology.
Also, are you in contact with other Chapin decendants? I am from Chicopee Mass, the city
where Sam Chapin died in 1675, and I am trying to put together a non-profit group to help
save the Abel Chapin House in that city. This house is on the verge of begin destroyed
and is the oldest structure in Chicopee. It was constructed in 1750 by Dec. Sam's
grandson the Landlord Abel Chapin.
If you know of any interested family members please drop me an email.
Thank you,
Brett
