My Luther R. Chapman lived in Crawford County, Missouri in 1850 before that
he was in St. Francois County, Missouri. He was born prob in TN (By The
Census)born in 1822. Do you know where Walter was born? Anything on
Walter would help. Was he a carpenter? Was in St. Francois County,
Missouri in 1840 to 1844 like mine? I am connected for sure to Mary,
Calvin, Miles and John M. Chapman poss siblings to Luther.
Tell me more if you can.

Hi, I'm new, so please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong, but I
have
a
great deal of information from my great aunt that I passed away many
years
ago in the
genealogy section of the Waxahachie, TX library. It seems there was a
great
migration of Chapmans to Ellis County, TX in the middle 1800's.
Does
anyone
know anything about the people listed below?
My great-great grandfather, Walter Anderson Chapman was in Crawford
County,
Missouri. Don't know the exact dates, but one of his children
was born
there
in 1844. Walter was married to Louisa May Gray Saunders.
They had 8 children:
1. Mary Frances Chapman (Molly) b. 1835, VA, md. before 1861 MO John
Adams.
2. Walter Frank Chapman, b. 1835 VA; died about 1877 Crawford County,
MO.
Married Virginia Gray, perhaps a cousin, before 1860, Greene County,
VA.
3. Margaret (Martha), b.1837, VA
4. Alexander Campbell Chapman, b 9-26-1842, Greene County, VA, died
10-01-1912, Ellis County, TX. Married Virginia Elmina Sanderson about
1865 in Louisiana.
5. Anderson Chapman, Jr. b. 1844, Missouri
6. John Chapman, b. 8-03-1849, Missouri; died in Crawford County.
Married
before 1870 to Ellen Janette Pease.
7. Julius Chapman, born 1855, Missouri
8. Reuben Chapman, b. ca 1840, VA or MO; died during Civil War of
measles;unmarried
Of that line, my great grandfather was Alexander Campbell Chapman. He
was
married to Virginia Elmina Sanderson and had 9 children:
M. Lou Chapman, C. F. Chapman, Emma L. Chapman, James Melton Chapman (my
grandfather) b. Jan. 1, 1872, Anna Lea Chapman (Stovall), A. C. Chapman,
Jr.,
and Sallie E. Chapman, Everett E. Chapman and Leona M. Chapman.
If anyone has anything, PLEASE post the information. It does seem that
the
name Anderson appears often.
Thanks!!!
Pam
