I know this is long, but we haven't had any contact with any part of this
family since my grandmother died in 1978; questions we have include more
detailed information about James Chapman and his family, and specific dates
on births, deaths and marriages for that generation, the Josiah generation,
the Nelson generation, and Susan Mary's generation. My Aunt Lina compiled
the information that we do know in order to gain acceptance into the DAR, but
that was in the 1940's. Please contact if you can add to this lineage!
