Hi,
Any Chapmans out there with ancestors from Saratoga County, NY., or Ipswich,
MA.
My GGGrandfather, Timothy Chapman, born on Sep 26 1789, lived in Charlton,
Saratoga
CO.,NY., in 1817.
He was married to Sarah HILLER (daughter of Summers or Somers HILLER and
Betsey
BAILEY ) on Feb 6 1817 in BALLSTON CENTER, SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK, in
the First Presbyterian Church.
Timothy Chapman purchased land from Israel and Sarah Chapman on June 13,
1817, in
Charlton, Saratoga Co., New York. Timothy paid $700.00 for the property.
There is mention of this property being next to property, formerly owned by
Benjamin Chapman.
The relationship of Israel and Benjamin Chapman to Timothy is not definitely
known, as of this
writing but it is believed that Israel and Benjamin were brothers, and sons
of Benjamin and
Elizabeth (Gould) Chapman and were born in Ipswich, Essex Co., MA., and that
Israel is
Timothy's father.
Timothy died on Aug 29 1838 in CHARLTON, SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK and was
buried about Aug 31 1838 in Pine Grove Cemetery Charlton, Saratoga County,
NY.
Timothy's wife, Sarah, and their son Henry Platt Chapman, migrated to
Elkhart, Indiana after
Timothy died, with her (HILLER) family. Both are buried in Grace Lawn
Cemetery in Elkhart,
Indiana.
Would appreciate hearing from any Chapmans with ancestors from Saratoga
County, NY., or
Ipswich, MA.
George Chapman
