Chapman researchers,
After going over some papers I recieved some years back and finding
another Chapman web site that was new to me,
http://www.chapmanfamilies.org/ref_a.html , I think now my James T.
Chapman (May 1,1853-Dec.28,1898) was born in Russell Co.,KY to Sarena
Ellison Chapman and Anthony Chapman.
Sarena Ellison (1828-1853) married Anthony Chapman on Sep.13,1844.
Two girls were born, Gemina Ellen Chapman and Mary J. Chapman. Sarena
must have died in childbirth of James T. Chapman, and Anthony then
married Sarah .......... on Aug.4,1853.
Anthony and Sarah had several children before Anthony died in the
1870's in Russell Co.,KY.
After Sarena died, Sarena sister Rebecca Ellison, took James T.
Chapman and raised him. The 1860 census show James T.Chapman at 7
years old, living with the family of Evan Thomas and wife Rebecca and
the Thomas cildren.
Any comments out there? Some pieces are fitting together, and some
are just out there. Tim
