Is anyone in possession of this book? I believe the following book lists
"my" Mary Chapman, b Aug. 30, 1700 Saybook, CT. daughter of Nathanial
Chapman b Feb. 16, 1652 Saybrook, CT. and 2nd wife, Hannah Bates:
"CHAPMAN Family, or the desc. of Robert Chapman, one of the first settlers
of Saybrook, Conn.; with gen. notes of Wm. of New London; Edw. of Windsor;
John of Stonington; Benj. of Stonington (all Conn.), by F.W. Chapman. 414p.
1854." (Found on Higginson Books site.) Before I spend $52.00 I want to
know if this contains data re "my" line.
Also.....there is another Mary, daughter of Nathanial Chapman and his first
wife, Ann Bliss. This other Mary married a Samuel Bates who I know nothing
about. I suspect Samuel Bates is related to Nathanial Chapman's second
wife Hannah Bates, the mother of "my" Mary. Anyone know about this Bates?

Jeanne, I do have the book and looked up your Mary. It states that "she
never married" and that's the end of her line in the book. some of her
siblings show up later. Pat
