Hi, Michael My Giles Chapman bought land in Orange Co Va before the county
was divided and some of it became Frederick Co Va. He and his wife Sarah
(Jackson) Chapman are credited as being among the founders of Hopewell
Monthly Meeting. He sold his land about 1744 and appears next in Orange Co
NC -- part of which came from Craven Co -- where some of his family joined
Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. In 1760 he moved to Berkeley Co SC -- the part
that later became Old Ninety-Six District and then Newberry Co. His sons
have been accounted for, as they all made it to SC. We believe, however,
that his second oldest son, Joseph Chapman, married Catherine Anderson of
Frederick Co Va. I'm intrigued with the DNA program and would like to learn
more. James

Gary Chapman, I for one would like to hear more about your James
Chapman
of
Culpepper Co., VA -- perhaps you could post this for the group. I
have a
James Chapman who in 1766 was in Orange Co., VA, married to Jane, who
later
died in Frederick Co., VA in 1785. I know this James Chapman
conveyed his
Orange Co., VA property in 1767 to Christopher Singleton of Caroline Co.,
VA
but I cannot find him in Frederick Co., VA until 1780, when he is
shown as
making an application for a "Publick Claim" for beef supplied to the
Continental Army. Where was James Chapman between 1767 and 1780? Was he
in
North Carolina?
Mike Chapman (of Atlanta)

I'm sure I would enjoy reading about the James Chapman of Culpepper Co NC,
but don't go to a lot of trouble or expense. Though I have searched for
