My family of Chapmans is Giles Chapman married Sarah Jackson, a Quaker of
Bridlington, Yorkshire in 1728. Records in the family Bible shows this Giles
Chapman born in 1702 but does not give the city of his birth. There were Chapmans
in Whitby. Any information on this lineage would be appreciated. Bettye Vann

Hi Irene,
I am in Sydney, Australia just across the pond and have a naternal
connection to a Chapman family from County Cork, Ireland several of whome
immifrated to Australia and the family may have gone to Ireland from England
originally.
The Irishj family started wiith Edward Chapman who married Margaret Dunn
c1776. I am not sure if it was in England or ireland but itt appears their 8
children were born in Ireland. Please let me know if I can help because I
can give you a web site that shows most Edward's of the family tree.

Will try, but it's not going to be easy without a town or parish. The Blake
part should help a bit, Chapman being a fairly common name.

Now, this is a little scary. Just a few years ago my eldest son, Rupert L.
Chapman IV, married a wonderful young lady from St. Columb Road, Cornwall,
Sandra Jane Neave, in the parish church at St. Enoder, Cornwall. So far as I
am aware I have no connection whatever to that area prior to this date, but
since I don't know where in the UK my ancestral Chapmans came from . . . .
If anyone wishes I'm sure I could supply scans of the church at St.
Enoder - they might have the odd wedding party in, but other than that wouldn't
be too bad.
Rupert
Perhaps this will help????? King and Queen Co. Va. Chapman married into the
Roane family and Roanes are related to Spencers. The area would be
Shackleford, Plainview and Cologne Co,King and Queen.

Wendy,
The Pedlar of Swaffham was a man by the name of John Chapman, a
successful local merchant, who is supposed to have had a dream in which he was told
to go and stand in the middle of London Bridge (in those days lined with
shops, a normal street but over the river), where he would hear news of a great
treasure. When the dream was repeated he set off for London, and stood for
some days in the middle of the bridge, until one of the shopkeepers asked him
what he was standing there for, whereupon he recounted his dream. The
shopkeeper laughed, and said that you shouldn't believe dreams, he himself having had
a dream the previous night that he should go to a place called Swaffham and
dig beneath the oak tree in the garden of a pedlar, where he would find
treasure. The Pedlar thanked him, and returned to Swaffham, where he dug under
the tree in his garden, and found a great treasure. So much for the legend.
At _www.oldcity.org.uk/norwich/names/pedlar.php_
(http://www.oldcity.org.uk/norwich/names/pedlar.php)
you can read a longer, more elaborate version, plus the following:
The Facts
From 1435 to 1474, John Botewright was rector of Swaffham, and compiled the
'Swaffham Black Book' which is an inventory of all the work done on the
church. From the entries it can be seen that a John Chapman paid for the
rebuilding of the North Aisle.
Today, in the choir of the church stand two pews. One with carvings of a
pedlar and his dog, and the other of a woman looking over the door of a shop.
I am fascinated to learn that the Cobbs and Chapmans were intermarrying in
Kent. My line of Cobbs go back to Joseph Cobb, who landed in Jamestown in
1613, and the Cobbs married, and migrated west with, the Woottens (who came from
Castor, near Peterborough). Ultimately Martha Ellen Cobb married James A.
Davis, and their daughter Carrie Frances Davis married Rupert Leander Chapman
(later R.L.C. Sr, my grandfather). My Chapman line migrated to MS from KY
via TN, and prior to that I THINK (this is very unproven!), from SC. At this
point the trail is not so much cold as non-existent.
Fascinating that the Sherman family also came from East Anglia - W.T. was a
great man, and I wouldn't mind at all being related to him! But, of course,
what I really need is to get behind Samuel Singleton, born in KY in 1820. I
believe that his parents were William Chapman, born SC 1782 and Nancy Storey,
born SC 1787, but this is still to be confirmed.
Of course, the thrill is in the hunt, and it would be very disappointing to
reach the end of the trail, wouldn't it?

Beware that there were several Joseph Chapmans in and around
New London, Norwich and Colchester, sometimes simultaneously.
Moreover, there is some erroneous information and supposition in
some prominent books.
For example, Munsell Vol IV (1899), p 202 has, "JOSEPH b. 1667 (m
about 1706, Mercy) had 8 children, viz: Joseph b 1708, Mercy 1709, Moses
1711, Sarah 1713, Ezekial 1715, Aaron 1718, Daniel 1720, Simeon 1723;
son of WILLIAM of New London, Ct. ..." This entry obviously ties Joseph
and his descendants to the New London Chapmans, but there is more solid
evidence that this Joseph was descended from Edward of Ipswich.
Likewise, F. W. Chapman, in his 1854 genealogy of the Chapman families
of Saybrook, has (page 268) Moses (born 10 Nov 1711) a son of Joseph
("born as is supposed in 1667, married Marcey __________"), a son of
WILLIAM of New London who "appears first on the New London records, in
1657". The information in this source has many rather obvious errors, not
the least of which is citing a marriage date for Joseph and Marcey which is
the same as that given for Joseph's death.
Less absolute, but no less unreliable on Joseph's heritage, "History of
Norwich, Conn" by Francis M. Caulkins, Pub. by the author, 1866, Pg. 225:
"Chapman. Joseph Chapman, probably son of William of New London,
adm. 1715; died June 10, 1725. His wife Marcy, died seven days previous.
Eight children are recorded. Two of the sons, Moses and Daniel, are on
the list of separatists in 1748."
A little closer to the facts, "The Wentworth Genealogy; English and
American" by John Wentworth, Little, Brown & Co., Boston, 1878 (Vol 1, Pg
154 et seq) has Mercy Wentworth (b. 18 Jul 1686) marrying, 5 Apr 1707,
"John Chapman of Rowley"; Mary Wentworth (b. 25 Dec 1692) marrying,
23 Apr 1707, "Joseph Chapman of Rowley"; and Katherine Wentworth (b.
28 Jul 1694) marrying, 22 Mar 1713, Daniel Chapman of Colchester, CT, "a
descendant of Daniel Chapman of New London, Conn." [F. W. Chapman
says Daniel was the son of John and grandson of William]
The three brides were sisters, daughters of Paul and Catherine Wentworth,
who are shown to be residents of Rowley in April 1707 and of New London,
CT by the end of June 1707. [All of the couple's children are listed in the
Norwich VR, although all were born before 1707. (Vol 1, pg. 86)]
As a fact, "The Vital Records of Ipswich...to the End of the Year 1849"
(published in Salem, MA, 1910-9) lists the publication of intention "5; 2 m;
1707" (5 Apr 1707) of Joseph Chapman and "Mercy Winworth of Rowley"
(Vol 2, Pg. 93). As this source (Vol 1, Pg 84) also gives the birth of both
Joseph, son of Simon and Joseph, son of Samuell and Ruth, and does not
specify another town for Joseph when listing the intention to marry, it is fair
to say that the vital record of this marriage (at least the intention thereof)
clearly ties Joseph, as a descendant of Symonds and Edward (although via
which father is unclear*) to Mercy, a daughter of Paul and Catherine
Wentworth. Unfortunately, Paul and Catherine named one daughter Mercy
and another, Mary, and they married brothers (or were they, perhaps, first
cousins?) named Joseph and John Chapman, so there was, probably
inevitably, confusion. Then, of course, they all moved from Rowley to the
New London area, where a different bunch of Chapmans already lived,
including a Daniel, whom the third daughter promptly married. Familes are
simply not fair to their future genealogists!
*[Jacob Chapman ("Genealogy of Edward Chapman of Ipswich") says
Joseph son of Samuel died unmarried in 1750 at the age of 65.]
Hi Marie,
I read all the emails that have been going back and
forth--- but today you got my attention when you mention
Clarke & Frederick Counties, VA. This of course are where
my very early Chapman's came from. We are trying hard to
find DNA matches with ones that also have early Chapmans
there. -------- Do you go back that far?? to the early and mid
1700's?.
I am taking off tomorrow for a week, but will be checking the
Rootsweb.

Maria,
Funny you should mention Blake/Chapman link. My grandmother's brother was
named Harry Blake Chapman and we never heard of the name Blake before. He
was born 11/27/1890 in Virginia and died 09/15/1966 in Baltimore, MD. Since
the rest of his siblings were born in Berryville, Clarke Co., VA he was
probably born somewhere near there. The rest of my Chapman clan was born in
Wadesville, VA, Frederick Co., VA. Some traveled to Summit Point, WV.
The name Strother shows up as a middle name and I know there were several
Strother's in that area. I can't seem to find a connection. I am Stuck in
the 1850's. Here is what I have:
William Chapman born in Frederick Co., VA and died in Wadesville, VA married
Margaret Manuel? (not sure about that last name). She was born somewhere in
VA.
He was supposedly robbed and killed on the RR tracks on his way home from
work.
Their children:
Sarah b. 1852
James F., b. 03/31/1853
George Robert Chapman b. 6/24/1857, Frederick Co., VA and
d. 04/21/1926 Summit Pt., Jefferson Co., WV (my great-
grandfather)
George Robert Chapman married Mary Frances Gray 01/13/1881 in Berryville,
Clarke Co., VA. She was born 01/22/1862 in Rappahannock Co., VA and died
04/01/1907 in Berryville, VA
their children:
Margaret Chapman, b. 04/08/1882, Va
Frank Strother Chapman, b. 10/25/1883, Berryville, Clarke Co.,
VA., d. 02/19/1957
Grace Agnes Chapman, (my grandmother), b. 12/22/1885,
Berryville, VA, d. 02/11/1969, Baltimore, MD
Mary F. Chapman, b. 05/1887, VA
George Randolph Chapman, b. 01/28/1889, Berryville, VA
d. 04/03/1970
Harry Blake Chapman (mentioned above)
Charles Alfred (Bunny) Chapman, b. 09/22/1892, VA,
d. 03/18/1941
Fannie F. Chapman, b. 03/1895, Va
Arthur Page Chapman, b. 1904, VA
I have the rest of the line to today's date but no further back.
A lot of their descendants moved to the Baltimore area and still live there.
I hope we make a connection.
Barbara

Dear Wendy and others researching Chapmans in Kent, England,
I am seeking John Blake Chapman, born October 14, 1826, in Kent, England. He
married Elizabeth Windsor (b July 7. 1832 in Kent, England) in March 1848.
They left England around 1848 and settled in Illinois where they raised 11

I hope to locate the town in Kent where they lived before leaving England.
I have searched for their English roots for many years with no success yet.

Regarding English Chapmans - I was recently doing research on Ancestry
looking for my grgrandfather, William Arthur Chapman. In the 1850 census in
the city of Uttica, Oneida Co., it is showing: Edward Chapman 75, England;
Edward Chapman 48, England; Elizabeth 38, England; Edward 14, New York;
Thomas 10, New York; William 8, New York; Frederick 3, New York. I have to
check this further - but, I'm hoping this is my Wm A. Does this help
anyone? Dee

Hello,
Do you have a Joseph Chapman in your line? This was my great great
grandfather. They were in New London County too. Maybe they were brothers?
Thank you for any information that you can give me,
Jane USA
Duly noted and thank-you for the correction about Tasburgh. I appreciate it
very much. When I saw a modern map of the area I didn't see Tasburgh and I
think I found the copy of the map I have from a site that shows the older
locations. Thank-you for you reply and lets hope others can add something more.
Take care all.
Tasburgh, Norfolk, isn't gone, or even very much forgotten. It is on the
A140 just north of Long Stratton, south of Norwich. I have checked it on my
2005 highway atlas of the UK. I think 'hamlet' would be a good description, as
it is marked as the smallest size community in the key to the maps. When I
go on holiday each summer to Sheringham, on the North Norfolk coast I pass to
the west of it, but a good way off, via Thetford and Swaffham (home of a
famous medieval Chapman).
I would suggest that the reason many US Chapmans aren't researching
their Chapman ancestors in England is that they haven't yet been able to trace a
connection back that far. The only ancestors I have been able to trace back
to England so far are Cobbs and Wootens. My Chapman line is only back to the
early 19th century, and perhaps the late 18th, but they were already in West
Kentucky (or perhaps in South Carolina in the 18th century) by then.
I shall keep searching, and one day, who knows, I might even make a
connection to the Pedlar of Swaffham himself!
Rupert Chapman
I also have wondered about the English connection. I am a descendent of
William Chapman of New London, CT. There are quite a few details about him that
I have read, but I would like to just give the basic names down to my
great-great grandmother, Abagail Chapman Holmes. I have also seen info that may or
may not be based in truth to suggest that William Chapman's father was
Alexander Chapman, b. abt. 1576 in Tasburgh, Norfolk, England. Alexander's parents
were Dudley Chapman and Anne Aldrich. Dudley's parents were Alexander Chapman
and Anne Scott. It would be wonderful to find out if these people are truly
my ancestors. Many of my father's ancestors were from England. Does anyone out
there know any of these names or places? I did manage to locate a map of
Tasburgh......this "town" of hamlet, whatever it is called is gone now as I am
sure many of the places of that time period have been built upon over all
these years.
I just will list the names here from 1. William Chapman and Sarah Lidia,
down. 2. John Chapman and Sarah ?. 3. Ichabod Chapman and Abigail Clothier.
4. Ichabod Chapman and Anna Jones. 5. Sarah Chapman and Gideon Chapman (
they were 2nd cousins). 6. Elijah Chapman and Martha Woodworth. 7. Eliphalet
Chapman and Antoinette Isbell. 8. Abagail Chapman and Frank J. Holmes.
I would love to hear from those who are also endeavoring to find their
ancestors. We have such a wonderful opportunity in our day and age to share
information so quickly. Thank-you and God bless.
Will,
You have one more English person on the list, but it does seem strange that
so few of our American Chapmans aren't, or haven't got around to researching
their Chapman roots in England.
I am searching for Chapmans from Kent, England who ended up in Ellis,
Kansas, if anyone has any suggestions.
Always glad to help with Chapman research in Kent County, England.
