Have you been able to verify with records anything about Benjamin Adams CHAPLIN?
Where was he and when was he there?

Message Board Post:
I'm Kathleen Chaplin Summers of Arlington, Va., the daughter of Walter Badger
Chaplin of Florida (1924-1978). I keep coming up against brick walls while researching his
ancestors and descendants, so am appealing for help from any Chaplin relatives out there.
My father's paternal grandfather (and namesake) was Walter Badger Chaplin
(1857-1940), who was the son of Benjamin Adams Chaplin and Georgianna Badger. There's
tons of documentation about the Badgers out there; the Chaplins, not so much. I have two
main concerns:
* Benjamin Adams Chaplin's (1829-1902) ancestry. Try as I might, I can't find
anything about where he came from.
* The fathers and mothers of the various grandchildren that Walter Badger Chaplin and
his wife, Mary Myrtis Gannon, raised. For example, my father's father, Badger A.
Chaplin (1899-1966), had three wives, so I can't even figure out who my grandmother
was.
Any help or suggestions would be most gratefully appreciated!
