When I started looking for my Chapmans I knew only the names of my great
grandparents, Isaac & Martha Chapman. It was thought that Isaac's parents
were JOhn & Sarah chapman from Maine although this was not confirmed. I
have since tracked my Chapman family back to Edward of Ipswich Mass. Most
of the clues I followed were from this list. Hank Chapman, a fellow lister
is also descended from this line of Chapmans & he has been a great help. We
are now officially "cousins". Last month I made a trip to Iowa with my
sister to visit Isaac's & Martha's graves & lo & behold there were
JOhn &
sarah also. Sarah was Sarah Eunice & went by Eunice. So I have most of the
puzzle pieces. I have "lost John & Eunice for a few decades until they
appear in the 1860 Iowa census & think that there are other siblins of Isaac
I don't have yet. So thanks to all you listers who so generosly share
information. And for those of you seeking, just keep at it. You never kno
when you'll get a helpful clue.
