I am looking for anybody who might have more information on the following Chapmans from
Gallatin and Carroll Counties in KY. Some of the children and grandchildren stayed in the
area, some moved to the Muscatine Co, Iowa and some to the Schuylar Co, Missouri area.
Thanks, Paul Rekow
Anderson Chapman b. abt 1793, in VA, m. (1) 1822, in Gallatin Co, KY, Nancy Bernard, m.
(2) 13-Oct-1830, in Gallatin Co, KY, Mary Pulliam. Anderson died abt 1843, Prestonville,
KY.
As is text from the book "The Samuel Chapman Family" by Ira Allen Chapman.
"Anderson Chapman, son of James Chapman, whose second wife was Mary Pulliam. They had
no children. He lived, died and was buried in Prestonville, Kentucky. It was at his house
his mother, Phoebe Chapman, wife of James Chapman, died in about 1844 and was buried in
either the corner of the door yard or the corner of the garden. The house was on a small
tract or lot of land, near the Kentucky River and lay so low that, when the river rose in
case of high water, it was often inundated. Calvin Chapman, a nephew of Anderson's,
who now resided in Prestonville, writes that the land has been sold many times and owned
by many different persons since Anderson owned it, and that they work or plow right over
the grave and no one can determine exactly its location, no stone ever having been erected
at the grave."
In the Carroll County Will Book 1, Page 100 Chapman, Anderson, 12 Jun 1843, wife Mary H.,
Executor; wife
I found Anderson on the 1830 census for Gallatin Co, KY. Anderson Chapman, 1m 10-15, 1m
15-20, 1m 30-40, 1f 15-20.
Also on the 1840 census for Carroll Co, KY, Anderson Chapman, 1m 5-10, 1m 10-15, 1m 40-50,
2f 5-10, 1f 20-30 and 3 slaves.
It is interesting that Anderson's will is dated 1843, yet Ira's book says that his
mom died at his house in 1844.
In the Gallatin County, KY Index to Marriages there is Anderson Chapman married to Nancy
Bernard Date 1822 Book 2 Page 70.
Anderson and Mary were not able to have any children so they asked Henry and Fanny their
brother and sister if they would give them two of their children and the children were to
be named after them.
