We have tons of info on Charles C. Chapman --- his son is my 88 year old
boss! I don't think he's a relation of yours because he was born in 1853 in
Macomb, Illinois, although his grandfather Jacob Kimble Chapman was born in
New York.
Please let me know if this rings a bell.

Good afternoon! :)
For the benefit of the new subscribers, I would like to mention again that if
there is anyone who
would like to have their Chapman Patriarch listed on the Researcher page of the
web site, to
contact me (ddmmjm(a)netins.net) privately and we'll get you added. This is
strictly voluntary.
I need your oldest patriarch, the dates, area of birth, death, your email
address, and also if you
have a home page, the url for that also. If you prefer to be listed just by
your first name, that's
fine, just need to be informed.
Also, Lewis
(<mailto:lewis@WashingtonStateResident.oz.net>lewis@WashingtonStateResident.
oz.net is in charge of the Index at the Web site,
and if you'd like your information added there please contact him privately. A
Gedcom is preferred
by him to get you added.
I'll be updating the pages later today, and will post when it is completed.
For those new to the list, take a look at the site and the two areas mentioned
(Researcher and Index)
which are listed on the left side bar of the opening main page. This will help
to understand better what
we are doing. The address for the site is:

Do you have any further information on Charles C. Chapman? I am looking
for Charles Chapman of Hudson, Columbia County, NY and would be interested
in finding out if there might be a connection. My Charles was born in
England in 1800. I don't know when he came to the US, but he settled in
the Hudson area and there seem to have been quite a few of them in that area.

Hi again to all Scioto Ohio area researchers, I have findly gotten most
of the information from the Ira Allen Chapman book on "The Samuel
Chapman Family" input into my database. The pages that I have had no
information on William and Henry and very little on Reuben and
Anderson. I recieved 18 pages from Sandy, she said there are seven more
pages that she was unable to copy at the time.
I have also tried to verify this information against census data as
best I can. One descrepancy that stands out to me is Sarah (Chapman)
Ragsdale's birth date does not agree with the census data I have so
far. I would also like to find a copy of the 1800 census for Amhearst
Co., VA and the 1790 census for Amelia Co., VA. If anyone has easy
access to either of these census let me know. Our local library does
not have the 1800 VA census and the 1790 has pages missing.
For those who are not researching this line I am sorry that this is so
long. Paul Rekow

Famous Chapmans? What about Charles C. Chapman? Incredible life story...
Mr. Chapman never finished grade school yet he made a living as a
young man writing county histories in Illinois. Among numerous other things,
he started Chapman University in Orange, California, which is today
considered a top-notch educational facility. He was nominated for the
Vice-Presidential ticket on the GOP in Chicago in the 20's? but he turned it
down. He was the first Mayor of Fullerton, California, and is considered the
"Father of the Valencia Orange".
A pioneer on all fronts!!

Hi,
Maybe by elimination --who is the William that married Joanne Hitchcock on
16 Oct of 1825 in Scioto Co. Ohio --
Josiah Chapman married Isibel Hitchcock 26 Nov. 1815 there.
Greenup married Minerva Lawson her father John Lawson gave consent on 17
Oct. 1833
two more James <<<EKKK, just what we need<G> one married Mary Powell 6
April 1837
and one married as James William Chapman married Betsy Ann Brooks on 6 Aug 1853
John married Polly Reeves 13 Aug 1815
Obediah Chapman married Amanda Burt 31 Dec 1856
Reubin married Nancy Ferqua 2 Aug 1809
in JACKSON CO. OHIO
Amos Chapman married Cartinni Lovel 25 March 1849
Ephream married Julia F. Russell 9 April 1862
Robert R. married Mahala J. Mercer 25 Dec. 1850
Warren married Sarah A Wood 10 Nov. 1842
William married Jane Ann Greeley 13 May 1841
A dozen or more in Ross Co. Ohio and that many or more female Chapmans
married there too.
Now, the William that is a brother to Robert, Andrew and Joseph, son of
James and Rebecca was in 1850 Census for Ross Co. and that is the one
that married in Jackson Co. --
They had sons
William born appx 1842 so that would be 8 years old in 1850
James born appx 1843 so he would be about 7 in 1850 then Margaret 1845
about 5 in '50
Ephriam born 1847 he was three
And then Mary C. born 1949 and was one year old.
Maybe some of all this Ohio stuff helps somebody --if not bear with us as I
hope it will be your turn one day too.
I can bore you with Anthony H. Chapman also born under a cabbage leave in
1800 in VA and then to GA and on to LA to be an ancestor of my grand
daughter on her mother's side.

gail
Hi list,
Have been painting the inside of the house, but have laid down my
paint brush long
enough to do a little backtracking. I wrote Kay about this, but would
appreciate any
help anyone can send.
In my excitement and enthusiasm to "connect" my William with Kay's
William, I didn't
DIG into a discrepancy in the data. Kay's Wm. was born on 07 Sept.
1820 in
Jackson Co., OH. He married Jane Ann Greeley in 1842 in Jackson Co.
I have checked with the original lookups that gave me the census
information from
Mercer Co., MO. There are three of them. From the 1860 census from
Mercer Co. MO. Two of them say that Wm Chapman of
household #666 Washington Twp., Mercer Co., MO is listed as 30 or 50
years of
age, can't tell because of the poor quality of the microfilm. The
third lookup says
age 50. They stand by their statements. They all agree that his
wife's name was
Jane and she is listed as 24 years old in the 1860 census. In the
1870 census,
Wm. is gone, and Jane is listed as age 42. That's really interesting
because she
has aged 18 years in 10. She is also living with my ggrandfather
James Anderson
Chapman. She also has a 9 year old daughter Jane, b. 1861. They are
residing on
the Wm. Chapman homeplace in Washington Twp., Mercer Co. MO. Wm. R.
Chapman, James' brother is next to them. And my paternal
ggrandfather is next
to them along with a whole "host" of other family members concentrated
in this area.
1860 Census, Washington Twp, Mercer Co. MO.
Wm. Chapman age 30 or 50 b OH, is a farmer 1870
census
with $700 land value and $250
personal property
James Chapman 26 b. OH
Jane 24 b. VA cannot read or write
Frances 24 b MO
Wm. 19 b. OH
Effa A. 2 b. MO
James 17 b. OH
Charles 1 b. MO
Melinda 9 b. IL
Jane 42 b. VA
Henry 4 b. IA
Jane 9 b. MO
John 2 b. MO
Obviously, there are major discrepancies in age on Wm. and Jane. I
believe the
Jane's age of 42 in the 1870 census is the correct one; however, it
means she
would have been 13 or 13 when she had Wm. R. Chapman, the oldest
child. Possible
but not probable. She may have been a year or two off on her own age,
I have papers
coming from the Chapman portion of the cemetery where all these people
are buried,
except Wm. Chapman the senior. She and Wm. have obviously had another
child,
probably conceived before he went off to serve in the MO Home Guard.
If this is Kay's Jane Ann Greeley, the marriage certificate might have
other info on it,
particularly if she was this young.
But the biggest problem I have is the 30 or 50 year-old William. If
he's 30, which I
doubt, because I think if he was 30 he would have served in a regular
Civil War unit,
but if he is he was born around 1830 then Wm. and James A. have to be
nephews
or something else. If he was 50, which I think is the right age, he
was born in 1810,
and could very easily be the William that was born right after the
Anderson in Paul's
line.
Also, the only Wm. Chapman in a home guard unit from MErcer Co. MO is
Wm. C.
Chapman mustered in at Middlebury, which is where Wm. R. Chapman, and
James
Anderson Chapman, my ggrandfather mustered in because Middlebury, MO
is where
all of the farms were!!! Wm. R. Chapman and James Anderson Chapman
mustered
into the 23rd MO Volunteer Infantry Regt. from Middlebury, along with
a LOT more
relatives. This was their territory. Wm. Chapman served in the Home
Guard (EMM)
in Capt. Loveland's Company B, Mo Militia.
Now, according to Mercer Co. Traces history book the Lovelands in
Mercer Co. MO
are connected to Susannah Chapman Loveland, who married Aaron
Loveland. Susannah was the daughter of Jonah and Lydia Taylor
Chapman. John Jay knows about this connection. The records
at MSA do not state which Loveland was Capt. Loveland, Charles or
Seymour, but
I am working on this. The Loveland's also lived in the Washington
Twp. area.
I am informed by the Missouri State Archives that NARA does not have
the Home Guard records. They also say the records were poorly kept if
they kept them at all. I may not take their word for it, however,
if this can't be resolved any other way.
I find no Andrews in the family names so far. You'd think if Wm. and
Andrew were
that close, he would have named someone Andrew, even if it was a
middle name,
but he didn't, he named his child James ANDERSON Chapman. I don't
know what
the R. in Wm. R. stands for, but maybe Robert? for Kay's Robert? I
don't know yet
what the A. in John A., the youngest son stands for, could be Andrew,
but he came to OK with the rest of the clan and I am working on that.
I have good documentation on
everyone except Wm. and Jane. I hope to have a cemetery record of
Jane, but there
is a stone in the cemetery that can't be read, and I'm afraid it may
be Jane's. Will
follow up on this.
I know this is long, but I wanted to get this down in case someone
could help. Thanks
for bearing with me on this.

Still looking for an English born Chapman marrying a Kentucky born woman
about 1840-45 and settling in Illinois where one son (the only one I know of)
was named Harry Chapman.

�Researching and Making a Family Tree,� on Tuesday, April 27, at 4 P.M. EST.
Also, the latest issue of the Martha Stewart Living Magazine has an
interesting article about different types
of Family Trees......products, and how to display the trees. Has a
wonderful view of a huge fan tree.
There's some interesting ideas there....
Am not affiliated in any way with any of the above. Just saw the magazine,

...........And!
She was also born in Wisconsin (big smile) and lived in Iowa....(big smile)
I had seen the pages about this lady some time back.....had thought of
doing a page for the Chapman Web
about famous Chapmans.
Sooooo.....
If anyone else has some famous Chapmans to share, I'd be most interested.
Thanks for sharing this with the list, Lisa!
Mari
Thought maybe someone would be interested to know about one of our clan
that went on to be a famous female leader in the effort to give women the
right to vote. Have enclosed a couple of web addresses that explain a
little bit about her life. There are tons of sites out there if you want
to read more, and I understand that Iowa State University has a collection
of her work.
We have talks from time to time about the famous Johnny Appleseed. Just
thought it would be nice to shine a little light on a famous CHAPMAN woman.

Hi Bridgett,
Jacob N. Chapman married in Scioto County Ohio 1 March 1860 Mary J. Bonso
MA,R, D-113 (which I assume are reference No.s) Nothing else for Jacob.
Kay
Hi to all Scioto Ohio Chapman researchers, I just recieved a very
extensive package from Sandy Todd, a descendant through Lucy (Chapman)
Littlejohn. The package contains most of the information from the Ira
Allen Chapman book on "The Samuel Chapman Family". I will be reworking
my database and will post as much of it to the list as possible. This
will hopefully fill in a lot of the blanks for many of us. Paul Rekow
Mari,
On a lot of the search engines, if you type the name like this: "Thomas
Chapman" ...with quotation marks, it will bring up the sites that have
Thomas and Chapman next to each other.

Hi my name is Jennie and I am in New Zealand. I am posting information that
I have gathered on my Chapman Line. Any information would be appreciated.
I apologise in advance for the long posting, but I thought that my
grandfathers memories of his childhood would be of interest to someone.

MEMOIRS
OF
REGINALD E W CHAPMAN
1898 - 1984
1898 - MY CHILDHOOD - 1913
I was born on the second day of June 10 the year 1898, in the parish of ST
ALBYN, DEVONPORT, ENGLAND. The third of a family of five boys and two
girls, my father being a journeyman painter and my mother a loving mother or
counsellor to us all.
At a very early age our family moved to the small village of KINGSAND a twin
village to CAWSAND situated on CAWSAND BAY on the CORNISH side of the port
of PLYMOUTH. It was here that I lived a very happy and adventurous
childhood. My first memory is of an event, which almost cost me my life. I
remember looking at some oil in the sea below the landing steps in the bay
which changed into pretty colors and fascinated me, so much that I fell into
the sea. I was rescued by a lad named BILL FORSYTH, who later received an
award for rescuing me. Later I remember lying in bed surrounded by people
including the vicar and his wife, who had been very concerned about my
recovery.
Village life was a closely-knit one, in time of illness or adversity
everyone would do all they could to help one another. They were all closely
attached to the church, no family would miss church on Sunday and most of us
boys became choirboys, as we grew old enough to sing. There were two
churches attached to the village. One in the village itself (ST PAULS) and
the other known as 'MAKER CHURCH adjoining the ESTATE of MT EDGECOMBE on
MAKER HEIGHTS, the vicarage being half way between. The Morning service was
held at 'MAKER' and the evening, at ST PAULS in the village. We would wait
for the vicar to arrive in his horse and gig and then fellow him into the
church. Religious holidays such as Xmas, Good Friday, Easter, Whit Sunday
were all kept honestly and it was nice to see all the young girls dressed in
white on Whit Sunday. There were military Forts on Maker Heights with heavy
guns to protect the port of Plymouth and from these forts the soldiers would
parade for church service a 'MAKER CHURCH' on Sunday mornings. They were
headed by a billy goat all dressed in regimental colors and it was a treat
to see them drill outside the church and at times being inspected by the
EARL of MT EDGECOMBE. HARVEST FESTIVAL was a high light of the church
Calendar and all would being produce to the church, which would be decorated
also with beautiful flowers.
My boyhood as I previously mentioned was very active and happy one. It was
lived mostly on land at first, but as I grew older more of my time was spent
on the water. My time on land was divided between hunting for rabbits along
the cliff sides with a friendly dog from the village, cutting up chaff for
MCHADDYS horses, making ice cream for the local sweet shop, raiding farmer
WATKINS orchard, beating for pheasants when the shooting season came,
searching for pheasant eggs, and seagull eggs at RAME HEAD, climbing trees
in the plantation for chest nuts, picking blackberries, finding birds nest
and many other activities.
A highlight of the village life was "REGATTA DAY". The fishermen faced each
other in their fishing boats, both rowing and sailing, there was a greasy
pole rigged out from the side of one of the larger boats and anyone reaching
the end without falling off would get a prize. Yachts and club rowing boats
would also come from Plymouth for the occasion. My Favorite yacht was the
DIANA, ____ and many an Hour I would watch her racing in club races on
Wednesday and Saturdays. She was one of the best of the smaller yachts. We
also used to watch TOMMY LIPTON'S SHAMROCK and others of the big yachts that
used to race. On the evening of regatta day there would be festivities on
the village Green. There would be amongst others country folk dancing, a
may pole and it was great to see all the young dancers going around the may
pole to the accompaniment of the old time accordions. There was also a
greasy pole, which I have much cause to remember as my dad was always, one
of the competitors and fairly often the winner. They had to climb to the
top and burst a bag of flower and their prize would be a whole lot of
groceries. I used to get quite concerned if dad slipped down the pole - as
He invariably did at first attempts, but I became very elated when he
eventually got to the top and the flour came floating down, and would soon
be over to get the groceries to take home. The crowd would shout out "go on
Johnny stick it" and there would be a lot of OHs and ahs as he tired to get
to the top of the greasy old pole.
Cawsand Bay was always very busy. Big Cunard liners such as the "OLYMPIC"
with four big red funnels would anchor off the bay with passengers etc from
AMERICA, and tenders would come out to take them into Plymouth. Sometimes
if the weather was favorable we would pull out or sail out to them. At
about noon each day the Plymouth trawlers (all sailing ships) would be
returning from the fishing grounds and according to the wind be making their
way to the Barbican in Plymouth Harbour. Cawsand Bay also had a torpedo
range and the Navy torpedo boats would be out some days running their
torpedos. Sometimes the torpedos would over run and come ashore and we
boys used to go down to the beach to watch the Sailors collecting them with
their whale boats and taking them back to the ship.
Dad use to give me a bit of a hiding sometimes for getting my boots wet,
until I found a solution to the difficulty. Dad had an allotment garden
where he used to grow a few potatoes and other vegetables. He liked to have
seaweed to manure the ground, so if I got my boots wet I would get hold of a
sack fill it up with seaweed and so get excused.
As I grew older I became more attached to the sea and boats. In the village
lived a retired seaman, who was known as CAPTAIN BORNFIELD. He has a couple
of boats, one an ex naval skiff and the other and ex naval whaler called
'KATHALENE' named after to his Daughter. I think I stared off with tending
to his boats as the tide went in and out. He used to go out into the bay
fishing or venture out to the whiting grounds half way out to the EDDY STONE
LIGHTHOUSE. It wasn't very long before I was asking him if I could
accompany him when he went out. After I had got my mothers permission he
allowed me to do so. I used to get up in the morning, very keen, go down to
his house, throw some sand up to his window to wake him up. He had a white
beard and would put his head out of the window and tell me if the weather
was suitable. If it was ok, I would get the fishing boxes with the fishing
lines in all ready, take them down to the beach, haul the boat ashore by the
mooring line and everything was ready by the time he arrived. Sometimes if
the weather was a bit fresh we would just sail around the bay, put about
four spinner lines out and catch mackeye. If it was suitable we would go
out to the whiting grounds. When the old fellow wanted to fill his pipe he
would let me take the tiller and sail the boat, and as time went on. I
would be doing quite a lot of sailing. One day something happened which I
have often had a laugh about since. We had been out to the whiting grounds
and the wind had freshened so much that the old captain thought it advisable
for us to return home. The wind was blowing off shore and we had to beat
back against it. We were making good progress when the old boys hat blew
off, I had hold of the tiller at the time and not thinking, I jibed the boat
around stern to wind and of course she capsized. When I picture it now to
see the captain bobbing about out there with his white beard above water,
always makes my laugh. Needless to say we both could swim pretty well and
were no afraid of drowning, so we hung by the boat, but didn't get his hat
and lost all our fish. Any how we were spotted by a Pillot boat, P5 was her
number and after she had tacked about a bit to reach us, we climbed aboard
her up a Jacob's ladder that they had put over the side. There was no steam
or motor pilot boats at that time. It wasn't long before they had us sea
worthy again, and we came home under just a foresail sail and mizzen. that
was a well learnt lesson by me to always go about head to wind in a naval
whaler anyhow. Often I would sail around the bay in the whaler or skill on
my own, with just a spinner line out to catch a mackerel or two but never
turned either boat over again.
I had the early part of my education at the KINGSAND CHURCH of ENGLAND
SCHOOL, I think to about STANDARD IV. After that I was sent to the
MILLBROOK NATIONAL SCHOOL, the village of MILLBROOK being one and half miles
over a hill from KINGSAND, but still on the CORNISH SIDE of the river FAMAR.
When about 12 years of age our family went to live at MILLBROOK and I had to
forego a lot of my pastimes. I finished up my schooling in STA XVII, there
being no secondary schools at that time near rural districts. My education
was pretty good and has helped me fairly well through life. It was at
MILLBROOK that my sporting like turned toward football. I started playing
for the school team and we did quite well winning the school championships
of the PLYMOUTH districts, our biggest rivals being CATTEDOWN SCHOOL. On
leaving school, I started working at a boat building yard at CREYLL near MT
EDGECOMB. My dad used to paint all the big yachts and pinnaces that were
built and came in for overhaul. My brother ALF was an apprentice boat
builder there also. There was no vacancy as apprentice for me at the time
so I was put to work on the big saws. I must have worked there for over a
year but apparently was not satisfied with what I was doing or else I was
out of work. Jobs not being to easy to get in England at that time. Si I
must have been talking over it with my good counsellor & mother. I remember
her saying to me "Join the navy lad and be sure of three meals a day".
