I am looking to find out who the parents are of Stephen D Chapin, b, 1825 in Batavia, New
York, m. widow Chastina Jones in Darien, New York, April 16, 1844. There childrens name
where Albert Jones b. 1841, from Chastina's first marriage, Orel Chapin b. 1845,
Allonzo A Chapin b. 1847, Huldah D Chapin b. May 21, 1849, Ralph M Chapin (my relation) b.
October 5, 1852, Ellen Chapin b. 1853.
They moved to Wisconsin about 1846. Stephen D Chapin died January 4, 1865 as a result of
wounds received while serving in Company I, 2nd Wisconsin Cavalry in 1863. He is buried
in Attica, Green County, Wisconsin.
Chastina died in Dunkirk, Dane County Wisconsin on October 17, 1908.
I have narrowed Stephen's father down to either Ralph Chapin or his brother Soloman
who both lived in Darien, New York. Does anyone have any additional information on them
or can anyone help solve the mystery as to who his parents are...
