Does any one know of Isaac CHAPMAN born about 1761 in England, who
lived at Old Street in London & married Elizabeth Catharina BLANDY,
before moving to Hobart, Tasmania in 1822 with some of his family on
the S "Heroine".
Some children were Henry (Richard) b 1794, Elizabeth Jane (m John
Hiddlestone), Catharine, & Reuben b. 1803/4.
May be connected with the breweries in Putney owned by Tyson Chapman &
Adam Blandy in the 1700's..
Any info on any of this would be geatly appreciated.
Cheers...Milton Froggatt....New Zealand.

Developers eye last apple orchard in Johnny Appleseed's birthplace
November 5, 1999
Web posted at: 10:50 AM EST (1550 GMT)
LEOMINSTER, Massachusetts (AP) -- Johnny Appleseed's hometown might lose its last working apple orchard because, after all, money doesn't grow on trees --- it comes from new subdivisions with four-bedroom homes.
The owner of Sholan Farms has asked the city for permission to convert its 50 acres of apple trees and cupola-capped barn into 161 residential lots.
The issue goes to the very core of a place that for years has been dealing with its changing identity from a rural outpost to a Boston bedroom community of 41,000. Leominster (pronounced LEM-in-ster) is also known as Pioneer Plastics City and the birthplace of the plastic pink flamingo.
"How could you let a piece of property like this get developed?" said David Chandler, who has leased the orchard since 1983 and comes from a long line of apple growers. "It's just a perfectly gorgeous piece of land."
With sweeping views of hills to one side and a valley to another, the land could go the way of other farms in the area. Colonial-style housing developments stand on nearby hillsides where cows once grazed and trees once bore fruit.
About an hour's drive west of Boston, Leominster has attracted people looking for a more pristine and safer place to live. New businesses, particularly in high-tech, have cropped up nearby, bringing young employees with money to spend. New homes sell for as much as $350,000.
Leominster didn't start capitalizing on its Johnny Appleseed connection until a decade or so ago, when business leaders and city officials realized its marketing power.
Today, the Johnny Appleseed rest stop greets visitors on Route 2 as they approach the city limits. A marker designates the spot where the historical society is "95 percent sure" Appleseed's home was built.
And an annual festival in September -- marking Appleseed's birthday, September 26, 1774 -- honors all things apple and New England, from pies to sauce to orchard-scented candles.
Never mind that Appleseed -- real name: John Chapman -- only lived in Leominster until he was 6.
A nurseryman and a minister, Appleseed didn't scatter seeds across the country, as myth has it. He did, however, realize the practical need for apple seedlings and moved ahead of the westward-heading pioneers, starting nurseries with seeds he bought from cider mills in Pennsylvania.
He sold and gave away trees to the struggling settlers, for whom apples were a dietary necessity.
With that history in mind, local folk find a sad irony in the idea of losing Leominster's last remaining apple orchard.
The land has been owned since 1978 by Dr. Paul Possick, a Leominster native but now a dermatologist in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. He has filed paperwork with the city to subdivide the orchard.
Once the subdivision plans are approved, Possick "probably would either develop it or sell it," said his lawyer, Peter Dawson.
Mayor Dean Mazzarella hopes the city will be the eventual buyer, but the price tag will probably be in the millions.
More than symbolism is at stake in the case of the Sholan orchard, Mazzarella said. Selling it to housing developers is "like putting vinyl siding on a historic house," he said.
