<< Would anyone happen to know anything about Elijah Chapman in the 1840
census
for DeKalb Co., TN? He's a strong possibility as the father of my James
Lewis Chapman, born between 1824-1830 in TN. There are two other Chapmans
listed - Green and James - neither has children in the right age group to be
James' father. James married Susannah Jones in DeKalb Co. 17 Jan 1850 and
didn't reappear until the 1852 Butler Co., KY tax records. In 1840, Elijah
was either the male 20-30 or the male 40-50. I haven't found him there in
1850. Any help/hints would be appreciated.
