Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] Chapman family, Somerset, England
: Hello fellow researchers,
:
: As a new member of this list, I am posting my CHAPMAN interests, as
follows:
:
: William CHAPMAN, born circa 1600, Wedmore, Somerset, England
: Married: Agnes RILBERY, 18th Sept 1628, Wedmore, Somerset.
:
: Their son:
:
: Walter CHAPMAN, baptized 10th Aug 1634, Wedmore, Somerset
: Married: Susanna (surname unknown), (date unknown) at Wedmore, Somerset.
:
: Their son:
:
: Joseph CHAPMAN, baptized 10th Feb 1666, Wedmore, Somerset
: Married: Ann PAYMASTER, 30th March 1706, Wedmore, Somerset.
:
: Their son:
:
: Philip CHAPMAN, baptized 15th May 1722, Wedmore, Somerset
: Married: Ann LEIGH, 9th June 1763, Wedmore, Somerset.
:
: Their daughter:
:
: Sebra CHAPMAN, born circa 1779, Wedmore, Somerset
: Married: Richard HEMBERY, 1807, Wedmore, Somerset.
:
: Somerset seems to have a fair few CHAPMANs, and the Wedmore area (north
Somerset, in the Mendip Hills just south of the city of Bristol) is
particularly rich in CHAPMANs. I noted that the CHAPMAN name at Wedmore
went through a few spelling variants before settling upon the CHAPMAN form,
including CHEPMAN and CHEAPMAN (which may be of interest to those chasing
ancestors whose names were of either variant).
:
: As yet, I have been unable to trace my CHAPMAN ancestors back further than
1600, and wondered whether any other list members may have useful data that
would help? If not, I am still perfectly happy to share information with
other researchers!

: Best wishes,
