The Chapman's who are mentioned below that originate from England including
Giles Chapman, Sarah Jackson, as well as their son Joseph Chapman 1740-1820
are buried at the Old Dunkard burial ground. This one of the places where
the Chapman's would start their Universalist Ministry; if not the place. I
copied the list at the bottom of my response.
They are also buried in several of other burial grounds nearby especially
the Chapman burial ground at Saluda's Bethel Church.
Go to Al Franklin's website at:
http://www.fdu.com/family/chapmansummerscem.htm to read more.
I also have pictures from this site and the site at Bethel. Many of the
children from these folks went onto Saluda (I have the deed from which Giles
Chapman deeded the property in trust to Bethel Church in 1887.
I should note there are two, maybe three other burial grounds that may have
descendants in the immediate area of these church grounds. The Universalist
Church near Feaster most likely has the Summers' line ie Mary Summers who
married Giles Chapman. Like the Chapman's, the Summers were very involved in
the Universalist ministry in this time period. I think maybe as many as 3
Summers married into the Chapman family as did one of the famous families of
SC. The Lynch family.
The Feaster family is the family name for which Feasterville is named. The
Summers, Chapmans, Lynch's , Martin, Feaster families most likely married
into each others families and were the founders of at least 3 of the local
church's. The Liberty Church in Feasterville (Feaster-Summers), Universalist
Society at Prosperity (Martin, Summers, Chapman, Lynch), then later Bethel
Church at Saluda (Chapman).
They would later be involved in the churches in GA, Tenn., and many other
states.
Thomas Chapman like his great uncles and grandfathers would be involved in
the ministry for most of his life time.
I am still waiting on a 30 page bio of Thomas from Harvard Divinity School.

Subject: Joseph Chapman died Ca 1820
Earl I have read with interest your emails about your Joseph Chapman d 1810
in Charlston. I have a Joseph Cahpman b 14 June 1744 Fredrick Co Va and d ca
1820 or prior to that. There was a Suit Bill filed in 1821 Court of Equity
Newberry Co SC about his estate. On this his children and other descendants
were listed. We believe his first wife to be Catherine Anderson dau of
Bartholomew Anderson . She is listed as md to Joseph Chapman and the ones on
the internet seem to agree that she was wife of this Joseph because of
Grandchildren listed in will of Bartholomew Anderson. I have not a copy of
either of these documents yet.
Joseph Chapman was the son of Giles Chapman Sr and Sarah Jackson both b in
England Giles 1st b 04 Jan 1702 and Sarah Jackson b 27 Feb 1710. both moved
into Newberry Co SC and died ca 1789 and buried there perhaps Chapman
Cemetery. I will contact Neal and see if he can find the graves. There are
