I don't know if I have a James missing, but I have been trying to find a John Chapman
for sometime. He would have been born about 1765 according to the 1810 census. I have no
clues, other than he came from America or Ireland in the entries I found. He is also very
mysterious. Very few items on him at all, like he was trying to hide. He came to
Louisiana with Marie Fauvelle Laviolette Cluseau. He may have been a prisoner don't
know. We do know that our family has always been taught we were Scotch-Irish, not just
Irish. There is a John Chapman listed on the 1785 New Orleans list with a Ceasar
Hanchette also listed. Cesar Hanchette and John Chapman are very close for some reason.
Ceasar requests John's succession when he dies in 1824. Or rather a John Chapman that
died not sure if it was my John Chapman or maybe his son.
Thanks
