My Chapmans are not descended of this line, but in an interesting twist of
history, my ancestor Roswell Riggs Chapman of Worthington, Ohio was also
fighting in the war of 1812, but on the US side, and was taken prisoner by
the British at Detroit. (Anyone else descended from Benjamin Chapman of
Worthington, OH? Please contact me. I have information on this family and
am willing to share.)
Since your grandfather served inthe British military, you may be able to
find information through the British National Archives.

Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] John CHAPMAN b abt 1790 England, d 1866 Hudson, Summit
Co, OH
Below is the decendancy as I know it for John Chapman b 1788 England,
d
1866
Hudson, Summit Co, OH. My grandfather Allan B Chapman b 1864 OH was
very
close-mouthed with all 3 wives and families about who his parents were and
the
circumstances - but he did identify John L as his father. No other
proof
has
been found nor has his mother been identified. This was before vital
stats
began being kept.
Allan B Chapman was found to have ABO blood type AB. AB's existence was a
fairly new discovery shortly before his death 1934. Of course the
inherited
blood type can have come from either parent.
I would like to learn if there are any Chapmans from this line out there
on
this list, and if there is blood type AB in their history.
I have 4 Chapman brothers, any of whom would participate in a Chapman DNA
project IF there were one active. It doesn't seem there is.

Ohio,
USA - he was a conscript on a Brit flagship when the fleet attacked
Ohio,

1812-14. He was captured along with the ship, and imprisoned at
Chillicothe
prison. When released after the war, he chose to stay on in Ohio.
