Hello Rolande
I am curious to know where abouts in England your Chapmans are from, mine
(My Husbands family) are from Leicestershire, but have hit a brick wall at
1820's.
i know it is a long shot, but worth asking.
Cheers
Melissa in Australia

My Chapmans are from England and CT. I have seen data that says my Chapmans
go back as far as the 1500's or so in England with an Alexander Chapman.
William Chapman and his wife Sarah Lidia, of the New London/Groton area of
the
state of CT are the fist mention of my Chapmans in CT. William is said to
have
died about 1699. I will list the rest of the line to make it easier to see.
1. William Chapman and Sarah Lidia were my 9th grandparents
2. John Chapman and Sarah ? 8th great-grandparents
3. Ichabod Chapman and Abigail Clothier
4. Ichabod Chapman and Anna Jones
5. Sarah Chapman and Gideon Chapman (had the same great-grandfather)
6. Elijah Chapman and Martha Woodworth
7. Eliphalet Chapman and Antoinette Isbell
8. Abagail Chapman and Frank Holmes
another interesting mention.....the Isbell name is traced back to the
1000's
in England. My grandmother, Mildred Gregory, (passed away recently at the
age of 96) was a daughter of Charles Gregory and Sara Elton. The Gregory and
Elton names have also been traced back to England.
It is such a blessing to know who some of my ancestors are and to know a
little about their lives. God bless.
