Hi! I am new on this list....well really I have been off of it for a couple
of years. I recently retired and resolved to resolve my Chapman dilemnas.
I recognize some the names of the group members so perhaps someone can tell
me if any progress has been made on the line of Edward Chapman of Ipswich.
In Rev. Jacob Chapman's history of the family....which I know has been amply
discussed here,he states that when Capt Nathaniel Chapman and Family left
Longmeadow for the Ohio country they were accompanied by their cousin Levi
and family. Well, in "the Ohio Country" the only Levi I found was from
Connecticut. Levi, incidentally left a daughter in Maulden...
I have looked at some the Chapman trees on Ancestry.com and they have
many many Chapmans intermarrying in the next generations after Edward..the
immigrant. Particularly the descendants of his son Nathaniel.
I have no idea how accurate they are. But this discussion makes me wonder if
it is one of these intermarriages of the two families that produced "Cousin
Levi" of Connecticut.
The family story is that they also stopped in Olean NY and stayed with
cousins for a short while before heading down the Allegheny to Pittsburgh and
then the Ohio to Marietta.
In a future installment I will tell you of my recent trip to Ipswich,
Topsfield, Tewksbury, and Rowley...if anyone is interested. Also since I was
last on board I visited and photographed Johnny Appleseed's grave and
copied his will and estate papers in Indiana and have been to his birthplace
and have more info on his maternal family as well. In addition to that I
made a return to Marietta [OH] courthouse to see if I could discern what
happened to his younger brother Jonathon Cooley with negative results.....

Jean,
Could you tell me the title and publisher of the Chapman book?

Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] Re F.W. Chapman book
Carol and Pat: There are lots of mistakes in that book. It's amazing he did
as well as he did in his research. I don't know if anyone has consciously
put together corrections? Anyone know?
One of his mistakes in my line was that he had the wrong Joseph Chapman
(1681, son of Symon), married to Mercy Wentworth, though the children's
names were correct. Can't blame Rev, in a way. There was a confusion of
Chapmans from both Edward's and Wm of New London's lines in Colchester
CT. In fact, the 2 lines intermarried!

Thanks Jean, I wish I did know if there were any published corrections, but
I don't. It is an amazing book, even if there are some mistakes. Actually,
he did pretty well with our line, according to the family bible (which has
now disappeared). My grandmother used the family bible info to join the DAR
and I have a copy of her application, so can check that against the book and
it seems accurate.

Sorry.....can't help :(
I am still trying to connect my Ezekiel Chapman and his twin sons (Clinton
and Courtland b. 1820 Onondaga) to a mother. (possibly Mary Van Dorn but no
proof)
I keep asking myself: Are we having fun, yet????? ;)
Molly Ball Stoddard
Molly,
Since you brought up Onondaga County.....do you have a John R. Chapman in
your files? I've been searching for his parentage. He shows up first in the
Manlius, Onondaga County 1840 Census. He is also shown in some 1830s land
transfers, Manlius.
He married Sophronia Huntley b. abt. 1816 Manlius. John R. Chapman b. abt.
1809 census says NY.
One of the Huntley cousins married a Louise Chapman daughter of Moses Chapman.
I just can't seem to connect John R. to anyone!
Thank You,
Karen Chapman Busca
Hi
I'm hoping to find someone else researching this line. Thomas Chapman 1749-
1793 married Lydia Harding. This was listed on the DAR site. They had Anna
Chapman that married Russell Day. This is where I have a problem I have Anna
listed as being born 1759. John couldn't have been 10 at that time.
Hope someone can help me out with this line. Thanks in advance Carol
Francis:
I will be interested as some my NH Chapmans moved there Shortly after the
Civil War.
George D. Chapman

>From Rock County, Wisconsin, publ. 1908 - page 804, 805
ALVIN B. CARPENTER, long one of the leading promoters of Beloit, Wis., was
born in Stratford, Orange county, Vermont, July 17, 1812, son of Willard and
Polly (BACON) CARPENTER. His first venture in business life was driving a
peddling wagon and selling goods on commission for his uncles,Willard and
John CARPENTER, of Troy, N.Y. This was in 1831. In six years he had made
and saved $10,500. In 1835 he went to Evansville, Ind., and opened up a
general store; six months later, took his brother in partnership and
increased the capital to $40,000. In 1841 they sold out the business and
engaged in milling and wholesale produce, selling through their house in New
Orleans, of which Mr. CARPENTER was the manager. Later he sold out this
line and returned to Evansville, and in company with Oliver LADD engaged in
the wholesale dry goods jobbing, in which they were successful. His first
appearance in Beloit business circles was in 1845, when he engaged in
general merchandising on a!
large scale for three years, removing in 1849 to Cambridge, Dane county,
where he again engaged in milling, owning the town site and several mills;
sold out here in 1851 and bought a town site in Avon township and 3.000
acres of land and opened a large store and constructed a water power plant,
but in 1852 sold out here and returned to Beloit to establish his permanent
home. Starting with a general store, he continued in this for one year,
then sold out to KEYS & WHITE, and in 1854 engaged in banking for three
years, when he again sold and returned to Evansville, Ind., and was
interested in many different enterprises until 1866, when he again entered
into the mercantile trade in Beloit, opening three different stores under
the firm name of CARPENTER & GREENE. In February, 1869, they were burned
out and Mr. CARPENTER retired from the firm, Mr. GREENE continuing in the
trade. In July, 1870, in company with Cyrus LIBBY, E. H. CHAPMAN and John
FOSTER, they commenced the man!
ufacture of boots and shoes, the first factory of its kind in Beloit. Three
years later he sold out to Mr. CHAPMAN and engaged in handling real estate
and building.
He was married on July 5, 1839, to Miss Almira L. DUTCHER, of Troy, N.Y.
They celebrated their golden wedding on July 5, 1889, at their Beloit home,
and it was one of the most notable gatherings ever held in Beloit, from the
large number of friends and people of prominence from all parts of the
country who were in attendance. The occasion was out of the usual order,
also, on account of all of their children being present. They included
James M. CARPENTER, Mrs. Hattie M. SEARING, Mrs. Anna B. LAWRENCE, Mrs. C.
B. SALMON, Mrs. Mary A GREEN and Mrs. F. D. CALDWELL. Mr. Carpenter enjoyed
a hale old age and the full possession of his faculties up to the very end
of a long and active life. He died at his residence in Beloit, Wis., in his
ninety-first year, March 19, 1903. Mrs. CARPENTER had already passed away
February 9, 1891.
