It will be interesting to see if we original VA Chapmans are all decended
from Thomas who had many sons or if there were other lines that came to VA.

Well, I hope that Don Chapman agrees to take the test. Frederick
Co., VA
is ground zero for many, many Chapman families. Some of these lines
are: (1) my James Chapman (married Jane, d. 1785) and James Chapman's
sons
Thomas (b. 1753, married Sarah Bell, d. 1795) and William (b. circa
1750,
married Fanny Rust, had sons John and William and daughters, living 1835
Sangamon Co., IL), (2) the man I call "the older Thomas Chapman" (possibly
a brother or cousin of my James) who was living in Frederick Co., VA at
the
same time as my Thomas Chapman and who is a likely line for you as
his
children seemed to remain in the county, (3) the "Thomas Chapman of
Ireland" line being traced by Pat Pulasky which also has a William Chapman
line I believe, (4) the Richard Chapman line, (5) Giles Chapman the Quaker
line, and (6) some other Chapman lines from Virginia which are all traced
back or have connections to Frederick Co., VA in the 1700s. A big reason
for me to take the DNA test is to possibly link up these several Frederick
Co., VA lines.
