Hi Roger
My great grandmother was Bernice Chapin, b. 1881 in Hermon, NY to Horace Chapin and Eliza
Risley; Horace's parents were Philander Chapin and Harriet ?. I am trying to find
siblings of Philander and Harriet's maiden name. Also trying to confirm that
Philander's parents were John Chapin and Abigail Lavinia Thrasher. Horace was born abt
1852 in New York, I'm assuming in the Russell/Hermon area, but don't know that for
sure. His siblings were: Alice, Hiram (twin brother) Henry, Ada, Elmer, and Elizabeth.
(No Ruby here - maybe she was the daughter of one of these?)
If Philander is indeed the son of John Chapin and Abigail Thrasher, his siblings would be
David Madison Chapin; Orpha Chapin; Mary Chapin; Elizabeth Chapin; Charles Washington
Chapin; James Currey Chapin; Margaret Chapin; Henry Chapin, John Chapin, And Azariah
Chapin.
Do we have anything in common yet? :) Thanks!
Donna
