Jan,
I have in my notes that Henry Chapman had a son named Allen born abt 1789 in
NC. Henry Chapman was born abt 1756 in Spotsylvania County, VA, was living
in Chatham County, NC in 1783, and died abt 1822 in Darlington County, SC.
Henry married first Elizabeth Allen and second Sarah Gee. Per Henry's will
(probated 10/7/1822 in Darlington County, SC) his children were Wiley, Rhoda,
Allen, Henry Jr., Frances, Sarah, Charles, William, Abner, and Ambrose. Of
these children, Henry Jr., William, Ambrose, and Abner moved to Marion
County, Georgia in the late 1820s.
Per a family tree file that is on WFT CD #2, file #1019:
Deed recorded Sept. 28, 1791 in Prince George County, VA from Allen Chapman
to William Bonner, conveys the interest of Allen Chapman in land "whereupon
Rachel Gee, grandmother to the said Allen, and Henry Gee,husband to the said
Rachel Gee, died siezed and possessed and Sarah Chapman, formerly Sarah Gee,
who was daughter of said Henry Gee and is mother to the said Allen Chapman
who is heir at law to his said mother who has long since departed this life,
and her two sisters Elizabeth Gee and Winnie Gee..." Witnesses: Williamson
Bonner, Ambrose Heath, John Hight.
I am still searching for the parents of Calvin E. Chapman b 1825 in
Darlington County, SC and died 1912 in Chesterfield County, SC.
