Hi Chapin Cousin!
I was wondering if you could look in your Chapin book for my ancestor,
Charles Chapin, g-g-grandson of Deacon Samuel Chapin. I was told Charles
served Massachusetts in the Revolutionary War. He was born in 1742, but I
do not know when he died. He married Silence Kellogg. Thanks so much!
