According to a Chapin website "Famous people we are related to" Grover Cleveland
and both the Presidents Bush. I was already aware of Grover Cleveland, as he wrote a
letter of which a copy is in the "Chapin Books" that his grandfather narried a
Chapin. As for President Bush, it states that they are related to the Chapins by way of
Nathaniel Foote. It doesnt say how, but Nathaniel Footes grandson (Nathaniel Foote lll)
married Margaret Bliss, who was the daughter of Catherine Chapin, the daughter of Deacon
Samuel Chapin. It seems we have a connection so far to 4 Presidents, Taft, Cleveland, and
both the Presidents Bush.
As for Sidney S. Chapin, some more specific information might help.
