For those of you on both lists, I'll make an exception regarding double
postings......that is, posting to both lists in the same email.
As long as it isn't strictly a DNA post, and IS one more in the lines of
the one that Rees has posted (below)....I'll allow.
Basically it isn't one or the other strictly speaking.
The reason I started the DNA list was to eliminate the DNA only topics from
driving Chapman-L subscribers away. This type post that Rees has done is
in neither category so if you want/need to post such, then please do. Just
remember to keep the strictly DNA posts only to that list. :))

Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] more on the Isaac >Thomas issue
Another point I recall considering a few years ago, leading me to conclude
ISAAC CHAPMAN of Orange Co. VA was probably NOT a descendant of THOMAS
CHAPMAN of Jordon's Journey 1610.
It seems very odd to me that, following four successive generations of
Thomas Chapmans, none of the next four generations descendents appear to
have named a son Thomas. Isaac named none of his children Thomas, nor did
his sons Isaac, John, or Richard, nor did Jemimah McKenzie. No Thomas
among his grandchildren, either. Of course, Thomas IV may have been a
wicked creep, but otherwise it suggests Isaac and Thomas were of different
lineages.
