Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Found this on another list, might be useful if ancestors died in these
places/years.

Hi all ...
The Isaac Chapman that has been the subject of several recent posts ... is my
husband's g-g-g-g-g grandfather. He's related to one of Isaac's sons ...
Abner CHAPMAN who was born on 20 June 1772.
I'd love to share info. with others working on this particular CHAPMAN line
... please contact me!!
Amy
<< Thanks for posting.
Not my direct branch, but my tree!
This appears to be from the William Chapman of New London, Ct Line.
Based on the picture of the Bible, it appears to be that of Issac
Chapman, Son of William Chapman and Mercy Stoddard (Molly you paying
attention - Did I just see you were leaving for the weekend?)!
Mary Chapman mentioned on the first page appears to be Isacc's wife,
Mary Bradford. Based on this, there are about 4 more children to the
family I hadn't picked up from the FW Chapman book!
Thanks again for posting!!! Hopefully a direct branch is reading.

History is not one of my fortes but I remember reading about some health
problems in LA--Yellow Fever or something like that--but its toll was almost
like the plague--very high death toll and very bad records kept--I don't
know if your "1810" fits into that time frame--does anyone else know?

Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] John Chapman from South Carolina
> Does anyone have information on downline of John Chapman b. abt 1755 in
South Carolina and died abt. December 1811 in St. Tammany/St. Landry,
Louisiana? He married Nancy West or Nancy Hanna abt 1787 in Abbeville
District, SC. John Chapman and Nancy (West) Chapman lived in West-Moreland
Co., Va. and moved to N.C. after the revolution. He had a brother named
Allen. They went to Chesterfield Co. S.C. and into St Tammany Parish,
Louisiana in 1810. Children: Ada Lou, Jesse, Silas, John Jr., William,
Zillah, Wiley and Nancy. I have some downlines for the above children but I
have found a discrepcency (sp) in the down line of John, Jr.
> Does anyone have this information? My husband, supposedly descends from
this John S. Chapman who married Fannie Franklin in Rankin County,
Mississippi about They later moved to Trinity Co., or Angelina Co., Texas.
> Anyway, on two censuses John is listed as having been born around
1820...naturally, if he is the son of John Chapman who died in 1811....well,
doesn't match does it! So, either he was born earlier(as another researcher
has it) or, John S. Chapman was the son of one of John Jr's brothers. Looks
like I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board unless someone has a
good answer or solution for me. Anyone familiar with any of this? Thanks

Have y'all tried the free down-load of webferret? It goes through many of the search engines all at once. It is a big time-saver sometimes.
http://www.ferretsoft.com/netferret/index.html
A friend recommended it when I was doing research for school, I've found if I just type in the name of a person, that info sometimes will come up too.
For instance, when I typed in Isaac Chapman, a whole page of sites came up. One was an artist in the Northwest who made a totem in the 19th century that is now for sale for $2800. It would be interesting to know who owns that before the sale, and who buys it--might be a relative?
G. Clarke Chapman............
I, too, have a Chapman in Starke Cnty., IN during the mid and later 1800's.
Clinton by name, son of Ezekiel, brother to Cortland & Clarke.
Am leaving on a weekend trip in about 10 min., but will contact you when I
return on Tuesday.
Maybe we can make a connection..........

Here is an article I just dug out for another researcher. It may be
interesting to some of the newer people of this
list......Enjoy........."Preacher"
The Chapman Family
William Chapman, the ancestor of the Chapmans of the Sandy Valley, came
from Giles Co. VA. In 1806, and settled in what is now Lawrence Co. Ky.
Mr. Chapman was followed in 1810 by William McClure who was his son in
law. The latter came from Botetourt Co. VA.
Mr. Chapmans Grandson, Lieutenant George R. Chapman, now holds a
patent for land inherited from his grandfather, issued by James Monroe,
then governor of the commonwealth of Va. , afterwards president of the
United States. The patent was issued to David French, who afterwards
transferred it to William Chapman, dated April 19, 1782. It calls for
four thousand acres of land. The deed from French to Chapman, bearing
date of 1802, calls for one thousand acres of aforesaid patent. When the
patent was issued, it was for Kanawha County, this part of Kentucky then
being in that jurisdiction. This was before Kentucky County had been
established. The tract of land embraced in the Chapman purchase from
French, now owned by Lieutenant Chapman, is situated on the west bank of
the Sandy, five miles above Louisa and is known as Gavitt Place.
Mr. Chapman died at a ripe old age, in 1840 on the farm where he first
settled after leaving Va. The wife of his youth lingered on the shores
of time till 1863, dying at the great age of ninety-seven years.
The descendants of William Chapman are very numerous in the Sandy
Valley, and have spread out into various localities and States. When we
count the descendants in the male and female lines, we find but few
families in the valley more numerous than the William Chapman family.
The descendants of William Chapman have brought no stain on his fine
character and upright life. If they have not become as noted as some
other families, they have certainly added much to the material,
intellectual, and moral wealth of the country. They may not be money
gatherers, but are good livers. The family is noted as knowledge
seekers.
One grandson, is a skillful physician; another is a professor in a
State college; one, who was educated at a university, is at the head of
a classical school; and another fills the office of superintendent of
common schools in his native county. A granddaughter was for several
years a teacher in a prominate female college.
Lieutenant George R. Chapman, a grandson, now past middle life, was an
officer highly spoken of in the war for the Union. He resigned his
position on account of sickness before the war ended. He was in the 14th
Infantry Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers, Union Army. He is a leading
citizen of Louisa. The Chapmans are either members or adherents of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics they are nearly all Republicans,
although some are Democrats.
Is there anyone with info on Benjamin and Eunice CHAPMAN of Cheshire Co NH?
They had at least one daughter, Sallie (Sarah) born 1789. Still trying to
connect my Sallie CHAPMAN to the next generation back -- these two are
shown as her parents in the IGI on family search.org. Thanks for the help
available here.
Pat Johnson in Fort collins, Colorado
Chapmans all!
Can anyone help with information about ISAAC CHAPMAN, who died in
Highland Co., Ohio, 1828? He's listed in tax records there in 1806, but
there' s conflicting claims about his date & place of birth: either 1770 in
SC (Union Co.) or about 1755 in PA. He married Nancy (last name unknown)
and/or Ann (unknown). Children: JOHN Chapman (b. 3-24-1791, SC; d.
6-25-1870, Highland Co. OH), SILAS Chapman (b. abt. 1793), and my ancestor
ASABEL or ASAHEL Chapman (b. 1-23-94, Union Co., SC; d. 6-18-1881,
Lynchburg, Highland Co., OH).
In mid-19th century, under WILLIAM PUSY Chapman, my branch of the
family relocated to Starke Co., IN, where they have remained until early
20th century.
I'd be happy for any suggestions as well as concrete data. Thanks!
