Hello,
how wonderful to see all the activity on this list!
As always I am researching my CHAPMAN line from VT, possibly in NH as well.
Samuel CHAPMAN born abt 1792 in VT or NH married Sarah SANBORN in 1817. They
were in Littleton NH by 1819 and my third great grandfather Amasa W. CHAPMAN
was born there 1821/22.
By 1840, the family was in Brownington, Orleans Co. VT where Sarah died.
Samuel died in Coventry, Orleans Co in 1874. No parents were listed on his
death certificate.
Amasa W. CHAPMAN married Isabel PLASTRIDGE of Coventry in 1843. He died in
Coventry in 1868. They had the following children:
Melissa CHAPMAN born 1844 married Richard Fletcher PARKER also of Coventry--I
have a good deal of info if anyone is from this line
Amelia Ann CHAPMAN--born 1845, this is my gr gr grandma, married Leroy
Jonathan FRENCH of Manchester NH in 1869, died in Wilmington DE in 1939
Charles P. CHAPMAN--born abt. 1851, lived in Lydonville VT for many years,
was in Boston MA by 1914, had at least 3 children
John A. CHAPMAN--born 1855, died 1885 in Coventry VT
I would love to make contact with anyone researching any branch of this
family. I have information on all of them. Thank you.
