They had several children;
Allen who m Martha Westbrook; had a son Thomas who m Doshie Francis.
Wow, my grand daughter is a descendant of this line. There has been a lot
of work done on this line and two very good books, one which I
have. There is a gentleman, Larry Chapman that has done lots of work and
also a lady in Magnolia AR that has done quite a bit. I have lots of
info, although Joni' does not descend from Thomas, but another child,
William Edward. I will have to go back and look at this. I have not
done any work on this line for some time.
I am also descended from a Chapman line but cannot begin to connect as mine
were from Ohio. I am so far behind at work I do not know when I could
get copies made and so on but will be glad to evidently.
Allen Green Chapman born 1834 married Martha Westbrook 1855-57 in MS died
Catahoula Parish LA. He was in Civil War.
Anthony Chapman b 1800 in VA?? married second to Melinda Reeves 5 Dec
1833 in GA and died 1850-60 Catahoula Parish LA.
Joni' descends down from Allen and Martha through son William Edward
Chapman b ?1838 MS, married ca 1882 Winn Parish (court house burned) to
Mary Florene Tyrone. he died March 1 of 1937 and she died 27 Jan 1941 in TX.
There is a picture of William Edward and Forene Chapman and their son
Millard married Ida Elizabeth Rogers --
This will give you a big picture, and will be happy to locate author of
Reeves book and try to connect you to other researches that possibly are
still active.
The LaSalle Parish Genealogy Library will have a lot of info on this
family (Jena, Louisiana, 71342)
