Hi all,
My apologies. I meant HENRY JAMES BRAY, not CHAPMAN. He was the second child
of JOEPH BRAY and MARGARET CHAPMAN, a daughter of WILLIAM CHAPMAN and
BRIDGET MEANEY born Co. Cork. Ireland.
The first Bray child was WILLIAM JOSEPH born 7th August, 1858 on Spike
Islamd, Co .Cork, HENRY JAMES born "The Curragh: Ireland 27th March, 1860,
and MARY JANE born 25th January, 1860. Mother MARGARET (nee Chapman) died a
week or so after the baby was born. We dont know for sure if MARY JANE died,
went to USA or came to Australia.
It was possible she went to USA because after MARGARET died, JOSEPH BRAY,
who had been posted to CANADA with the RE, deserted in August 1862 and
skipped over to USA where he remarried an d had another famil in VERMONT,
USA. Hiis second son HENRY JAMES also went to USA (Vermont,and New York) c
1880, married and had a family there.
WILLIAM JOSEPH BRAY was brought to Australia at about the age of 8 and was
called CHAPNAN till he died in 1932.
Sorry, I dont have any other CHAPMAN info to the USA.
Cheers,\\Lex (Kenneth)

If you put "Paul Rekow" as shown in Ancestry you will get an extensive
account of American Chapman's beginning in early Virginia. I wonder if
there could be a connection to your Saluda Co., SC Chapman's as some of
the
Chapman's in this account went to Spartanburg SC.
