Hi again to all Scioto Ohio area researchers, I have findly gotten
most
of the information from the Ira Allen Chapman book on "The Samuel
Chapman Family" input into my database. The pages that I have had no
information on William and Henry and very little on Reuben and
Anderson. I recieved 18 pages from Sandy, she said there are seven more
pages that she was unable to copy at the time.
I have also tried to verify this information against census data as
best I can. One descrepancy that stands out to me is Sarah (Chapman)
Ragsdale's birth date does not agree with the census data I have so
far. I would also like to find a copy of the 1800 census for Amhearst
Co., VA and the 1790 census for Amelia Co., VA. If anyone has easy
access to either of these census let me know. Our local library does
not have the 1800 VA census and the 1790 has pages missing.
For those who are not researching this line I am sorry that this is so
long. Paul Rekow
