Bettye asked me to forward this onto the list. I'm still looking for a connection for
Mahala Tharp/William
S. Chapman. I need Mahala's ancestry as well as William's.

We have several William Chapmans. Most of the families of ours Chapmans are in Ga and Al
and then scattered.
The lineage goes back to Giles Chapman b 4 Jan 1702 d Dec 1789 md 24 Jan 1728 Bridlington
Yyorkshire, England to Sarah Jackson. They have a son William Chapman b 11 May 1744
Fredrick Co VA d ca 1790 Their son Joseph is our lineage. b 14 June 1744 md Penelope,
their son William M Joseph Chapman b ca 1766 d before 1820 md 1798 Elizabeth Martin (Had a
first wife in Newberry Co SC.)
William Joseph and Elizabeth Martin had a son Elijah Martin Chapman b ca 1800 SC d ca 1855
Dalton Ga Whitfield Co, GA md 10 May 1827 Newberry Co SC Eliza Urwin Hartsfield b 16 Apr
1808 dca 1840 William Joseph and Elizabeth or 1st wife also have a son William b unknown
md Jane Adams.
Elijah and Eliza are my grgrGrandparents son Edwin Evander Chapman b 16 May 1830 Newton Co
Ga d 15 Feb 1917 Jefferson Co Al md Nancy Garr Talley dau of Nancy Goss and William
Talley.
Eliza and Elijah had a son William H Chapman b 1829 GA My gr grandparents
Edwin Evander and Nancy Garr Talley had son William Martin Chapman b 03 Dec 1860 d 14 Sept
1926 Wilburton OK md Martha Jane Hulsey. They had a son William Hampton Chapman b 27 Dec
1894 OK md 30 Mar 1917 Vida Mae Scoggins.
Hope some of the Williams will connect. I do have a book by a by Dr Jesse P Chapman MD
that I might could look up the older lineage if you have it. (Giles Chapman of
Birdlington.)
MB could you submitt this to Chapman List each time I try it returns. New to list Bettye
