Does anyone have information on downline of John Chapman b. abt 1755 in South Carolina and
died abt. December 1811 in St. Tammany/St. Landry, Louisiana? He married Nancy West or
Nancy Hanna abt 1787 in Abbeville District, SC. John Chapman and Nancy (West) Chapman
lived in West-Moreland Co., Va. and moved to N.C. after the revolution. He had a brother
named Allen. They went to Chesterfield Co. S.C. and into St Tammany Parish, Louisiana in
1810. Children: Ada Lou, Jesse, Silas, John Jr., William, Zillah, Wiley and Nancy. I
have some downlines for the above children but I have found a discrepcency (sp) in the
down line of John, Jr.
Does anyone have this information? My husband, supposedly descends from this John S.
Chapman who married Fannie Franklin in Rankin County, Mississippi about They later moved
to Trinity Co., or Angelina Co., Texas.
Anyway, on two censuses John is listed as having been born around 1820...naturally, if he
is the son of John Chapman who died in 1811....well, doesn't match does it! So, either
he was born earlier(as another researcher has it) or, John S. Chapman was the son of one
of John Jr's brothers. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to the drawing
board unless someone has a good answer or solution for me. Anyone familiar with any of
this? Thanks
