Hello All,
I haven't posted this information in a while, hoping someone will see a
connection with this family and know more about Gordon and "?" Chapin.
I believe Gordon Chapin may have had other children that lived in
LaGrange County, possibly a Benjamin Chapin. If anyone has a connection
to this group, I have more information that I will be glad to share.
Thanks,
Kathy
