Chapman researchers,
My g grandfather was James T.Chapman (May 1,1853-Dec.28,1898), was
born in Russell Co., married in Casey Co., died and is buried in Casey
Co.,KY also.
James's mother, Cerena A. (Ellison) Chapman, died during his birth
so Cerena's sister, Rebecca (Ellison) Thomas, raised him. What I did
find was that James's father Anthony (?), just left the picture.
Here is what I have for sure:

Thats about all I have on the older Chapmans. I have quite a bit
later on, but not to much before. Any cousins out there? Thanks.
