I went to Paignten, England several years ago and was looking for St. John the Bapist
Church. It was a wet and dreary day and this woman walks up to me and asks if I want the
Vicar...She proceeded to take me to his mans and when he opened the door, he asked if I
was a Chapin. He then took me to the church and showed me the font that was most likely
used to baptize DS Chapin and a listing of all who had come through the church. I did a
rubbing of the engraving on the alter. I was very impressed, felt I was back in time,and
felt very connected to my gggggggggggrandfather....I come from his son Japhet's line.
