Am wondering if anyone has informtion on the children of Eliphalet Chapman
and Antoinett Isbell.
Eliphalet was born abt 1824 in CT to Elijah Chapman and Martha Woodruff.
According to the notes I have, Eliphalet and Antionette had the following
children:
Ellen A b 1848
Mary A b 1849
Frank B b 1860
Abagail J b 1882 -married Frank Holmes
Emeline E Chapman b 1868.
Someone provide me with the possiblity of a daughter Fran, born 1861. But
she's not listed in any census that I've looked at so far (1870 and 1880).
Also, in the 1870 census for Cheshire, CT there is a male, 17 years old
listed. I cannot make out the name. It could be Edward. But he's not with
the family in 1880. Does anyone know anything about this child?
Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

I found a Johny Chapman age 3 listed as adopted son of William H. and Rachel Knoll. He is listed as being born in Michigan and father Ohio and mother NY. (must be his real parents). Wm. Knoll was born Can/Eng and Rachel MI.
This is in the 1910 Plainfield Twp. Kent Co., MI Fed. census E.D.# 135 Sheet 8B

No relation to me but maybe this can help someone else. I found a Charles F. Chapman age 68 b. in Maine, in the 1910 fed census, Alpine Twp., Kent Co., Michigan. He is listed as the father-in-law to George L. Patt??? His daughter would be Ida B. age 37 b. NY, his grandson is Maurice L. Patt??? age 19.

Butch,
I can appreciate your frustration at hitting a "major brick wall" and asking
for help again. Merrckville is a small town on the Rideau Canal about 35
miles south of Ottawa. It became populated in the 1830's due to the
construction of an important set of locks there on the Rideau Canal, - built
to connect Kingston (on Lake Ontario) and "Bytown" (later "Ottawa") on the
Ottawa River. There were few roads to Merrickville at that time since most
traffic was via the canal. You are welcome to come to Ottawa and visit the
Union Cemetary at Merickville and National Public Achives for yourself, but
(as mentioned before) I have only been able to find two families of
Chapmans. You seem to have been uncertain of the date of John Chapman's
Merrickvile birth in the past, (suggesting 1843, 1864, 1868, and now 1859).
I remember he moved to North Dakota in the 1880's.
As mentioned earlier, I can only find 2 Chapman families in the area at that
time. My chapmans were mainly born and raised on the Richmond/Fallowfield
area (about 15 miles south of Ottawa). One of them was Chester Chapman who
married a Sarah Moore (whose father was a local Lumber baron). He had a
large family, and was a locally elected Reeve (Councellor) for the township
of Nepean around 1852. However he suddenly moved to Kinloss County in South
Western Ontario around 1855, where I have lost track of him. He left some
older children in the Ottawa area (a Chester, Laurie, Maria, david Elizabeth
and a Milo (the latter being whom I am descended from). They were born
between 1829 and 1840. He took with him to Kinloss County John (b. 18410),
Isaac (b. 1843), James (b, 1845), Gerard (b. 1847), Orlando (b. 1849), and
Thomas (b. 1851). (Orlando got caught up by a thrashing machine when just a
child and died in 1852.)
The other Chapman family is buried very close to one of Chester Chapman's
grandchildren in Merrickville, ie. Anna Louisa Jones (nee Chapman, daughter
of Milo Chapman). Anna Louisa was my grandmother.
This second Chapman family is repesented by a stone that reads John Chapman
born c. 1813, and a second stone for his unnamed wife born c. 1808 who was
"buried by her 5 daughters".
As mentiond earlier the only other coonection we might have is that one of
my grandmother's brothers, Isaiah "Ike" (1873 - 1952) moved to North Dakota
and married a Minnie Krantz (1877 - 1955). He worked at a grain elevator.
He could have been attracted to North Dakota by the presence of one of his
uncles who might have moved there (ie. James the son of the Chester who had
moved to Kinloss County in South Western Ontario in 1855 ?), but that is
only speculation.
The name Alfred is not a name found in any of these Chapman families.
Merickville was not (and stll isn't) a very big town, and Chapman was not a
very common name.
At that time, most of my Chapmans were Anglican, descended from Gerard
Chapman, (who came from Vermont in the late 1790's as a "United Empire
Loyalist", - to escape the rebellious Americans), - though some later became
Methodists in Fallowield (after Chester left for South Western Ontario.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Was wondering if anyone out there might know the dates of Melinda Chapman's
marriages to Brumley Kinney and Arnold Kinney?
Melinda's parents were Azel Chapman and Abigail (Nabby) Hale.
I have children listed for Melinda but don't know which husband was their
father.
Thanks
John Chapman
