Am in the processing of ending my research trip to CT and thought I'd
post some of the information I found. Hopefully it will help someone.
I have reviewed some of the vital records in both Portland, CT and
Plainfield, CT. I do NOT have
copies of the vital records, but did copy down the following
information:

For those interested in Chapman's from the Portland, Ct area, you might
be interested in knowing that Portland was established in 1841. That is
the earliest date of records that that have. Prior to that, they were
part of East Hampton,CT.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
