The information we have presently seems to indicate that Samuel Singleton
Chapman was born in what is now Graves Co, KY, grew up in TN, and finally
settled, with several of his brothers, in Yalobusha Co, MS. His only 'known' (I
still have no proof) sister, Pernicia, married a Paschal and settled in
Caloway Co, KY, which at least conforms to the family lore. Several of us suspect
that their parents were William Chapman and Nancy Storey from the Carolinas,
but this, also, remains unproven. Unfortumately all records in Graves Co
were destroyed in courthouse fires in the 19th century, so there is no hope of
further information there, and I have yet to find any definite traces of the
Chapmans in TN, either. Still, the fun is all in the search!
