Cheryl,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definately check it out. We'll be back,
that's for sure. We're just outside of Albany, NY and only about 2 1/2
hours away. Makes for an easy trip and a good get away!
Thanks again.
John Chapman

Hi, just reading throught the postings and I don't know much about the CT
Chapmans, but aren't/weren't there Chapmans in Killingworth CT? If so,
wonder if they are related. Killingworth is some minutes (maybe 20? More?)
but in similar rural areas. You might want to aske around and if you are
coming here, check out Killingworth too.
Cheers

Subject: [CHAPMAN-L] Chapman's in Portland and Plainfield, CT
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:
>From Portland, CT

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!
