My husband and I began working on Chaplin genealogy many, many years ago and have pieced
together many of the confusing, multiple, Chaplin families in Ohio. Life interfered and
research went more on the back burner! But we did manage a trip out to Maryland a year
ago. I am working on the theory that our original William Chaplin was NOT an English
immigrant but was instead part of a long Chaplin lineage in Maryland and Virginia. In my
online tree I've put it in what I believe are his parents, John Chapline and Rebecca
Cheney. But this is still a theory and I welcome any help to prove or disprove. I'm
glad to discuss further my reasoning and proofs. My full family tree was just recently
posted to
ancestry.com as a public tree. 25 years ago I had dreams of publishing a
Chaplin Family history, but now don't know if this will come to fruition. Still,
I'd like to keep updating all the William Chaplin and Sarah Woods descendants - my
original goal. So glad to see other Ch!
aplin researchers online in the past few years! I'm glad to share.
