Its been a couple of months since I posted my "brickwall", so here goes
again.
William Sherman Chapman (1810-1865), born in Tennessee, died in Scott Co.,
Il. Married Mehala Tharp (1813-1889), born in Kentucky, died in Scott Co.,
Il. Both are buried in the Merriss Family Cemetery, Scott Co.
Children of William and Mehala were:
James H. (1831-1864), born and died in Il.
William R. (1833-?), born in Il.
Margaret J. (1835-?, born in Il.
Daniel S. (1837-?), born in Il.
Mary A. (1846-?), born in Il.
Christopher Columbus (1842-?, born in Il.
John W. (1844-?), born in Il.
Mahlon P. (1846-?), born in Il.
Elizah Francis (1848-?), born in Il.
Sarah E. (1854-?), born in Il.
Samual Newton (1856-?), born in Il.
Angeline (1858-?), born in Il.
Daniel (1862-?), born in Il.
James H. married Nancy Abigail Merriss (1837-?), born in Il.
Daniel S. married Dovie Ruth Shirley (1841-?).
Children of Daniel S. and Dovie were:
Daniel H.
Jennie Belle (1877-1947), born in Roads, Mo., died in Brayerm, Mo.
Benjamin Eugene (1877-1930) born and died in Braymer, Mo.
Benjamin married Ealy Ann Taylor (1884-1914) died in Braymer, Mo.
Children of Benjamin and Ealy Ann were:
Glenn Edward (1906-1963), born in Carroll Co., Mo., died in Kansas City,
Mo.
Estle Henry (1908-1978), born in Braymer, Mo., died Santa Ana, Ca.
(My Father)
Mary Francis (1914) born and died in Braymer, Mo., only lived 15 days.
I have some data from lines of uncles, aunts, etc. Jennie Belle married
W.E. Whitney and had Ruth, Nora, Daisy, Lorena and Hallis. Glenn Edward
married Francis Jones (1906-1963, giving birth to Glenn Jr. and Norman. I
have some historical data on the Merriss Family Cemetery, including a
geographical description of its location. William Sherman is my
"brickwall". I can't get back beyond him, nor can I find any more about
Mehala. If any of these names ring a bell, I'd sure like to hear from you,
even if it's just to fill in blank dates. Thanks a lot Chappies.
