Hi Cousins:
I'm back; and I'm once again hot on the trail of Thomas Chapman
descendants. "Captain" George Chapman and his wife, Johannah/Joanna
LeMaster settled in the northern panhandle of WV in the late 1700's
(Ohio County, which became Brooke County, in the New Cumberland area). I
have come across some pages from a book on the LeMasters that has some
good information and some tantalizing hints! The book is "LeMasters,
USA, 1639-1965".
There is a reference to "a 1923 story of George and Joanna in Volume II
American Historical Society Bulletin, Page 290, by their descendant,
Frank Alfred Chapman". Would anyone have access to this source? If so,
I'd be delighted to pay for copies, postage, etc to have a copy.
Also, contributors to the chapter in the LeMasters volume were listed,
with the notation that they have more Chapman genealogy info. Would
anyone know any of these ladies, or their descendants?
"Mrs. Lola Thoms, (now deceased) of Wauwatosa Wisconsin; also Mrs.
Robert A. Francy and Mrs. Louis Bushfield, both of Toronto, Ohio.
Thanks for any assistance with this.
Pat Pulasky
