LOL Janey.......
My GGrandfather was raised by an aunt from the time he was 9 years old.....
Keep in mind that this was in OH.........
Anyhow.......the name of the aunt?
Mary MC PEAK!
His sister was also raised by this aunt.....her name was Jane. Well,
actually it was Clarissa Jane, but she was called Jane.
(sigh) I KNOW that my GGgrandfather (Elisha William Chapman) had a
grandfather named William Chapman. But STILL don't know who Elisha's
father was! There WAS a William, Jr. that was a child of William's, but
WAS he the father of Elisha? We can't find anythng!
I'm much further than even a year ago, but this puzzle has been terribly
frustrating!

Well I am curious!
I know that My CHAPMANs probably came through Stoddard MO from White County,
ILL. Infact the Step-son of my great greatgrandfather's wife's sister(
wow!) was living there in Stoddard co.
My GGgrandfather Andrew Jackson CHAPMAN married Jane(aka Janette, Janice)
MCGEE(aka MCGHEE, MCGEHEE) and she had a sister(?) Ruth(aka Rutha) MCGEE who
married Nichiolas HUFF and he has a son NAthan HUFF who is listed some scrap
of paper in the slush pile of my research as living and I think marrying in
Stoddard County, MO.
INteresting!!!!! The CHAPMAN family left White co. Ill after the 1850
census. and are found in northern ark county of Newton in 1860 and other
local counties through 1880.( of course there is not an 1890 to tell me where
they were!!!!) and it the lat 1800's I find they were in and around Dolphian
area in MO before coming to Shawnee OK to die9 my great gradfather Thomas E.
CHAPMAN and second wife )
So anyone find anything that makes us an intersting connection????????

<< Mari,
Uncanny? It is a very small world! My sister still lives in Chaffee,
Stoddard Co., MO. Let me know if I can help you find out something. I was
born in Sikeston, MO., just a few miles south of the thriving metropolis of
Chaffee! LOL
Tks,
