Anyone with resources/information on Jonathan Edwards CHAPLIN, b. 30 APR 1789 d. 15 SEP
1846; m. 4 NOV 1820 in Champaign, OH to Harriet HOISINGTON b. 5 JAN 1798 d. 27 JAN 1840.
My 3rd great grandfather, William R. CHAPLIN b. 26 DEC 1839 in Tiffin, Seneca, OH d. 20
DEC 1886 in Louisburg, Miami, KS was his son according to an obit in the Tiffin Weekly
Tribune 1/6/1887 [page 2, column 9] I have strong circumstantial evidence that William R
CHAPLIN was a Native American possibly Seneca/Wyandot , adopted by Jonathan E. CHAPLIN, a
well known Methodist Episcopal minister in the Seneca/Sandusky area of OH.
Harriet CHAPLIN died within a month of William's birth. Jonathan CHAPLIN then went
to White Pigeon, WI in @1841-2 to become principal of the State University. He died
there in 1846.
William R. CHAPLIN was raised by his Aunt and Uncle Eleanor and David THOMAS in the
Knox/Warren county area of Illinois. I have photographs of them.
I doubt I will ever be able to document the adoption, if that is the case. There are
other almost endless possibilties; I suppose Jonathan could have had a child by a Native
American woman...and so on. I have alot of biographical data on Jonathan E. but am hoping
to tap into the descendant's of another child of his [or anyone who can help!], who
may be able to shed some light on this.
Thanks, Marty Holt
