Jim thanks for your reply. Aunt Viola was Sam Lester Vann's {my father}
sister. Their parents were Milita Caroline Chapman and Joel Samuel Vann. of
Trussville ,Jefferson CO AL.
Edwin Evander Chapman b 16 May 1830 Newton CO GA d 15 Feb 1917 near
Trussville, Jefferson CO AL pl bur Trussville Cem Jefferson CO AL son of Elijah
Martin Chapman and Eliza Urwin Hartsfield. Edwin Evander Chapman md{ by M

1838, Newton CO GA, d near Trussville, Jefferson CO AL pl bur Trussville Cem
Jefferson CO AL daughter of William Talley and Sarah Wilhite Goss.
All children of Edwin Evander Chapman and Nancy Gaar Talley born in
Whitfield CO GA>
Milita was a sister to John Henry Chapman and to William Martin Chapman

Martha Jane Hulsey b 10 Sept 1869 Atlanta , Fulton CO GA d 18 Oct 1951,
Wilburton,Latimer CO OK, pl bur Baldwin Cem Cravens OK. dau of DR J C Hulsey and
Lucretia Overall } Martha Jane Hulsey Chapman md 2nd 16 Dec 1931 Cravens ,
Latimer CO OK but seperated about a year later. This is Bill Reeves branch
of the family. _reeves4446(a)yahoo.com_ (mailto:reeves4446@yahoo.com) , He
would love to hear from you.
He has been in touch with one des of JOHN Henry's the reason I thought it
might have been you. I have been in touch with others via different ones
but this is enough in the mix right now. This thrown in. Thru Sarah
Elizabeth Chapman b 11 Jan 1867 in Whitfield County GA
CO GA d 1939 pl bur Forrest Hill Cem Birmingham , Jefferson CO AL md 09
Jan 1887 John William Fortenberry we are kin to Fannie Flagg {Starlett and
Author of Fried Green Tomatoes.} they lived at Irondale near Trussville AL .
Also Elijah Martin Chapman owned a Gold Mine in Murray CO GA and died while
working in the mine. He drew the mine in a gold Lottery in GA.
Now we are descended from William Joseph Chapman b 1766/1770 SC d before
1820/1821
our material is low for him because he died before his father died. and his
heirs are included in Joseph Chapman's will. ca 1823.
Also their was a Suite bill in1821 in Newberry District Court of Equity
by Joseph Chapman's heirs challenging Joseph Chapman's widow having sold
or granted rights to a Thomas Wilson I believe it was to the land that
Penelope Chapman Joseph's second wife had only a life estate in. Actually it
was not left to her but the children of his first wife Catherine Anderson did
not challenge it and let her continue on the property until her death. She
leased the land or something and the lawful Heirs took the guy to court
and won the case and the property in Newberry CO SC was divided by the
children of Joseph Chapman and Catherine Anderson except for a child that he and
Penelope had Sarah Martin Chapman, {infant child of Joseph Chapman }
could have been any age under 16. . and also Susannah Chapman wife of Samuel
Chapman a son that had also died as had William Joseph Chapman. Samuel's
Children were also included in the settlement.

1821 16th Feb 1821 Term of Court

Jim where the mistake comes that we des from Rev Giles Chapman a Chaplin in
Rev war is he had a son named Elijah md Elizabeth Martin. but the moved to
Clark Co AL> Like I said before we got to earlier searches Elizabeth had
to quit. In Genealogy you always back up. from now to earlier generations.
until you can go as far back as you can then to Post or make a copy., then
you start with first generation you have found info on.
We have the book Giles Chapman of Bridlington and it had sketch info on
the earlier generations like Joseph son of Giles Chapman Sr and also Giles
Chapman ll (Rev Giles Chapman} are brothers.
She got copies of Marriage cert when she could and Wills.I have a copy
of Joseph Chapman Will it is as large as a blueprint. Can only extract it. I
have a copy of the Suite Bill.of 1821, I know Joseph Chapman served in the
Rev War and have his Cert # but have not sent for a copy of his records.
One William Chapman served in the Rev War I know there was a Capt William
Chapman can't get a lead on him to determine if he is ours. I believe he
might have been. I know William Talley md Sally {Sarah} Wilhite Goss was a vet
of War 1812 have cert of his service in the Navy. he was referred to as Capt
William Talley was prob a Capt.
I have their mg certificate. One of their sons was killed in the CSA Her
home was confiscated during the Civil War in Ga and used as headquarters. She
and remaining family at home lived in a slave cabin. They were left alone.
One son of Elijah Martin Chapman and Eliza Urwin Hartsfield Elijah W
Malone Chapman served in the CSA. I have their mg cert.,his Gold Lottery Cert.
Edwin Evander served CSA EE Chapman age 35 years discharged for
Inability from gunshot. Newton CO GA 14 Dec 1863 #627 Roll Certify by F W Robertson
