I'm looking for information on Jonathan E. Chaplin, b. CT @1804. He was an attorney
in the areas of Clark, Champaign, Hardin, and Union counties OH in the 1820-30's. He
was later very prominient in the Methodist Episcopal Church in that area and Seneca
County, OH. His son William R. Chaplin was born in Tiffin, Seneca, OH 26 Dec 1839, d. 20
Dec 1886, Louisburg Miami, KS. He was raised by an Aunt and Uncle, David and Eleamor
Thomas in the area of Galesburg, Knox, IL or the Berwick, Warren, IL area. I don't
know what happened to his parents/family in OH. They seemed to have disappeared. The
only information I have on her is her name, Harriet, and that she was born in VT. William
was their youngest son according to an obit from the Tiffin Weekly Tribune 6 Jan 1887. I
have Williams descendants well documented in my line to him. His wife, Susan Elizabeth
[Lewis] Chaplin is a Mayflower descendant of the Doty line. If anyone is familiar with
Jonanthan or Harriet Chaplin !
thanks in advance for your help!
