Susan - I am working on the Chapman Family. My mother was a Chapman from
Ohio County, Kentucky. One of my relatives (and I think it was Elizabeth)
was married to I think Enos (or Enoch) Dalton. I haven';t much information
on that family, and it has been some years since I worked on the Chapman
side, but I'll try to dig it out in the next few days. I do know that our
Chapmans came up through South Carolina, but where they came from there I
haven't determined. Phil White
For as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any
conditions be brought under English rule.
It is not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for
freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Subject: [CHAPMAN] Chapman SCT>NY 1830s
I'm new to the list and hope someone out there can help me with
information
about this Chapman family.
My 3rd great-grandmother was Barbara (Barbary in the census listing), who
was married to Joseph Huff in the 1850 census of New York City and had
children Edward; Mary; Cornelius; Jane; and John, all under age 10.
Living with the family was Eliza Chapman; I think Eliza was Barbara Huff's
sister and Barbara's maiden name was Chapman. According to the 1850
census, Barbara was born in Scotland around 1823.
I found a Chapman family that left from Greenock, Scotland aboard the ship
Francis, arriving in New York City on 26 January 1832. The family
consisted of
Jane (estimated date of birth around 1802);
Barbra (dob about 1822);
Peter (dob abt 1826);
Eliza (dob abt 1828);
John (dob abt 1830); and
Ann (dob abt 1831).
I hypothesize that Jane was bringing the children to join John Chapman
(dob
abt 1801), who arrived in NYC from Greenock, Scotland, also aboard the
ship Francis, on 6 September 1831. I found a John Chapman in the 1840 NY
census whose family closely matches the above list. However, neither John
nor
Jane Chapman are found in the 1850 census.
I'm hoping someone has some information about this Chapman family, so I
can
confirm my hypothesis that Barbara Huff is Barbara Chapman. Also, if
anyone has information about this family's ancestors in Scotland, I'd love
to
hear from you.
Thanks and good hunting!
Susan Huff
