Excerpt takem from Mr. Marshall's biography:
Joseph Glass Marshall
In 1851 the contest for the Legislature in Jefferson county was made upon
the question of the Senate selling her interest in the Madison and
Indianapolis Railroad. Joseph W. Chapman, a law partner of Senator Bright,
was in the Legislature the year before and opposed a bill authorizing the
sale. Mr. Marshall canvassed the county in 1851 in support of candidates
favoring the sale, and Senator Bright in support of those opposing it. In a
speech at Ritchey's Mills, Mr. Marshall said he was surprised at Senator
Bright's course in the canvass, as he had told him before it commenced that
if he had said to him, Mr. Bright, that he, Mr. Marshall, desired Mr.
Chapman's support the winter before, he would have seen that he got it.

RICHARD CHAPMAN
Richard Chapman was born in Wilshire, England, in 1819, October 27. He was
reared in England, and was apprenticed at the age of fourteen, to learn the
trade of blacksmith, and served for seven years as an apprentice, at
Woodford, near Salisbury.
He worked at his trade for eighteen years in England, and came to the Untied
States in 1852, on the ship "Liverpool," having left England between
Christmas and New Year in 1851. He arrived in Madison, Ind., the last day of
February, 1852, with only a nickel in his pocket. He walked out in the
country four miles that night on the Kent road; the next day he rented a
shop two miles from Kent, and commenced work on the first day of April,
where he continued to work for two and one-half years. The following July
after he landed, his wife and child came to him from England.
In 1854 Mr. Chapman removed to Graham township, and bought one-half of an
acre of ground, and put up a house and shop upon it, paying $100 for the
ground. He worked at his trade at this place for over twenty years, keeping
a general country store in connection with his shop. His wife was made
postmistress at this point, and held the office for eight years.
When he left Graham township in 1878, he sold his premises for $1,100.
Mr. Chapman was married in 1846, in England, to Miss Alice Potter, a native
of England, who died August 17, 1880, at the age of 60 years, leaving one
son John.
Mr Chapman has been very successful in accumulating property, owning a farm
of 240 acres of land in Graham township, besides a nice home of twenty-seven
acres, where he lives, at the edge of the town of Lancaster.
He is a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and has always been a
large contributor to the Church, and foremost to assist in all charitable
enterprises.
He has done a great deal to build up the county in the way of building and
improving property.
On May 29, 1886, he married Mrs. Cynthia (Hammond) Bailey, the widow of
Commodore Perry Bailey. She died December 23, 1887, without issue. John
Chapman, son of the subject of our sketch, married Josephine Lard, daughter
of C. K. Lard, of this county, and has four children: Alice B., Sarah N.,
Jessie R. and Ruth C., all living at home. John owns a farm of 385 acres of
land in Lancaster township, and is one of the largest farmers in the
township. Besides farming he deals largely in stock.
