Hello Everyone and Happy New Years,
Here are my still elusive Chapins:
Interested in finding any descendants of the following:

I would be interested in any information on the descendants of any of the
children of Charles Chapin, b. 1742.
The biggest Holes in my direct line research are the name and vitals for the
wife of Gordon Chapin, my ggg Grandfather and names and information for
their children.
I know that they had the following children:
(probably more children, as each of these were born 8 to 10 years apart)
Sarah Chapin
b. abt 1811 in Canada
d. Oct 9, 1870 in LaGrange Co., IN
married on Oct 18, 1832
Benjamin C. Bates
Charles W. Chapin (my ancestor)
b. May 23, 1821 in Canada
d. April 1, 1895 in Fremont, Steuben Co., IN
married on July 19, 1846
Maria Shoup
Maria N. Chapin
b. abt 1831 in Canada
d.January 2, 1897 in (not sure, lived most of her life in INand MI)
married on July 3, 1847 to Alonzo Howard Merrick
married on October 32, 1864 to Ransom Lester
Gordon Chapin was born in MA and went to Brant County, Canada about 1810 he
then returned to the US - first to Ohio abt. 1840 and then settled in Lima,
(now Howe), LaGrange Co., IN in 1844.
We know that least Sarah, Charles and Maria went with him.
Glad to share my information with "cousins"

Hi Listers
It's that time of year again. Say good bye to 2002 and welcome to 2003. I
hope each and every one of us can break down a few of our brick walls.
Many
people got new computers and many more have promised to work on
their
family
trees. Let's have a roll call and include who we are researching
and what
we
need to find. Remember there will many newbies and they will have new
info
and will need our help to learn the steps of research. Let's hear from
everyone.
. Remember it may be old news
to you & some of the listers, but not to others. Hear from you
all soon.
