Biographies

During the late 1800's county histories were compiled and published for many of the counties in the United States. Many of them contained biographical sketches or accounts of Chapmans. The Chapman Family Association, as the leading organization for Chapmans, present and past, has many copies of those Chapman articles in its archives. We need your help in collecting these articles. Will you please visit your local county and state libraries and review these histories for

some mention of Chapman. We are interested no matter how trivial the article may appear so that we can enter the information in the Chapman Master Book List (MBL).  We need the title page, the index pages that mention Chapman and of course all of the pages of text that pertain to the Chapman. If you have the capability, key the article into a document or .pdf file and send a copy to our website.
