Subject: [CHAPMAN] Re Spelling
Chapman has been spelled many ways, and frequently Chatman, through
the
19th C. Notice how often in earlier census records the enumerator would
spell names different ways. Spelling has pretty much settled down in the
20th C, for the most part.
But hey, we named our middle daughter Elinor and when she was grown, she
changed it legally to Elenor. Go figure. I prefer our spelling, but it's
her name.
