The parents of Levi H. Chapin are:
Deacon Issac Chapin and Rachel (Wheaton) Chapin. Deacon Issac Chapin was born Nov. 10th
1756 and died March 26th 1835. He married Rachel Wheaton on Oct. 18th 1781. They had no
children. Issac Chapin married a second time to a woman by the name of Huldah (She died
Sept. 20th 1803 age 44) there were 6 children of this marriage. (I have their names etc)
Issac Chapin married a third time to a woman named Martha Stone on May 10th 1804 in Heath,
Mass.
There were three children by this marriage of which Levi H. Chapin was the third and last
child. So actually Issac and Martha are Levi's parents, not Issac and Rachel.
I also have a little information on the other two children who would be Levi's
brothers.
Deacon Issac Chapin (Levi's father) was a private in Capt. Gershom Nelson's
company, which marched on the Lexington alarm April 27th 1775. His service was for nine
days with Capt. Gershom Nelson's company. Issac Chapin enlisted April 27th 1775 and
served with various regiments up to May 20th 1780. He was granted a pension for his
service with he collected up to his death.
Deacon Issac Chapin was the 6th generation from the original Deacon Samuel Chapin,
therefore I can trace him back to Deacon Samuel Chapin. All that information would be way
to much to put in this e-mail. However, if you dont plan to obtain the Chapin books, or
CD's and you want me to research it, I might be able to copy it from my books and mail
it to you. Let me know.
