I have a "stray" Chapman in my family. Though she was married to my 2nd
ggrandfather (not even on the same side of the
family or in the same area as my Chapman direct line), I'm not descended from her, but
am related to her descendants and
very curious about her.
Her name was Keziah CHAPMAN. She was born ca. 1828, probably in Guilford Co., NC, and
died before 1860 in either NC
or Missouri. She married Armstead SIVAGE (sometimes misspelled SAVAGE) August 8, 1849 in
Guilford Co., NC. They're
shown with an infant son named Obadiah in the 1850 Guilford Co. census. In 1860, Armstead
SIVAGE is in IN and
remarried, and I can find no record of Keziah CHAPMAN SIVAGE. I did, however, find two
children listed in listed in the
1860 Pettis County, MO Census in the following household:
George C. Payne, Age 34
Hannah ? Payne, Age 23
Alexander Payne, Age 3
Joseph Payne, Age 2
Obadiah SIVAGE, Age 9 - Orphan
Sarah SIVAGE, Age 6 - Orphan
Information on Keziah and/or her orphaned children would be appreciated.
Thanks!
