Naugatuck in WV. Dad was born in Aug. of 1909, so she probably had the
affair around the holidays in 1908.

John,
What place did your grandmother live in when she had the affair with Joseph
Chapman, and in what year? It might help one of us to locate Joseph for you.

Just a little jump in.
I am awaiting the results of my DNA from Family Tree. Just so no one will be
confused with my last name and me getting a Chapman DNA, my grandmother had
an affair with Joseph Chapman (no other info known except my grandmother was
24 when she had my father and mom said Joseph was an older man that Jennie)
and she gave my father her last name.
Hopefully when I get the results back I'll be able to get more information
on Joseph & his line other than just his name. My Evans line in the late
1800's and early to mid 1900's were in Naugatuck, WV. (Logan County and
it
later became Mingo Co, WV). In earlier census they were in Pike Co. KY also.

Hi Pat -
I and many other Chapmans use Family Tree DNA. We have a group project
there that is sanctioned and moderated by the CFA (Chapman Family
Association).
You can visit it by following this link that will log you on to my FTDNA
account:
http://www.familytreedna.com/ftLogin.asp?kit=24055&code=Z4206
I don't believe FTDNA will enter outside information in their
database,
but
you certainly "own" it once you know the characteristics of your
markers.
In other words, you can compare them to those that are published in
the
Chapman group project.
Haplogroups are too general to make a connection, but you will see what
Haplogroup I'm in when you go to the site.
A 12-marker match is sufficient to confirm or dismiss the possibility of a
connection to a person with the same name.
I've met many separate Chapmans through research, and every one of
them
came
to genealogy with the thought that they were related to Johnny Appleseed.
I
think there is a factual explanation on the CFA website.
I was inspired by the work of a relative, Mildred Chapman Gibbs. She
produced a very thorough study of our line. - and all before the
Internet!
While she was never able to prove it, she believed we are related to John
Chapman/Mary Withers Allen.
For some reason, few Chapmans use the Rootsweb list except for the DNA
list. I've lost contact with the active chatters, who I believe are
now
using a Yahoo list. However, I know that the group would be very
grateful
if you were to add your family's data to the shared body of knowledge.
Best regards,
Tom
P.S. Perhaps you already know, but the origin of the "Chapman"
name is
the
Old English word "ceap," which meant "cheap." It was
a name
applied to
peddlers. In German, the name Is "Kaufman." The point is
- all
peddlers
were not related, just as all bakers, smiths, and millers were not
related.
It was a fairly common name in 16th century England.....and Virginia, it
would seem.
