Hi All, Barry comments perked my interest because I have many of the names
he mentioned in my database, but unfortunately none of them match.
As far as I know most of Mahala's sibling stayed in Amelia Co, VA. The
one exception is possibly Patrick Chapman since I have no idea where he
ended up. All I know about Patrick is that he was listed in his father
Benjamin's will in 1822 and that he served in the militia in the War of
1812. Other than that it's a total blank.
I have lot's of census info on the rest of Mahala's siblings that stayed
in Amelia Co.
I wish I could help on the "other" Chapman's in Russell Co, KY, but I
don't have anything on them.
Thanks, Paul

Cindy/Michael,
A Mahala Chapman, shown as born 1827, KY, and described as "MotherL",
appears in the 1880 census for Russell Co(adjoining Adair Co) KY, living in
the "Creelsboro" district. Other Chapman individuals 'unaccounted for'
and
living at/enumerated at Creelsboro were 1) Margaret, born 1832, KY,
"Sister"; 2) Asa, born 1863, KY, "Other".
A Nancy Chapman, born 1835, KY,"Mother", was enumerated in 1880 at
Jamestown, Russell Co. along with John C. Chapman, born 1857, KY"Self";
Dice
E., born 1859, KY,"Sister" (Dice married William H. Stanton at Russell Co.
KY on 18 Apr.1886), Victoria, born 1860, KY,"Sister"; Margaret, born 1845,
KY, "Aunt" and Ebenezer, born 1823, KY, "Other"
The 'Creelsboro' Chapmans particularily interest me as 'my' Chapmans,
(Edmund) Beverly & Martha Ann Chapman and their 11 children were living also
at Creelsboro, Russell Co. in 1880. Edmund Beverly Chapman was born in
Halifax Co.VA(not far from Amelia Co.) and was the son of Joseph &
Nancy(Irby) Chapman, who married at Halifax Co. VA on 4 Dec.1811 and moved
with their family to Russell Co. KY in the mid 1820's.
There's a possible connection between these Chapmans - has anybody got
more
clues?
