Inquiry from Anne Williams (republished from Q&A group)
Help please in finding lineage information
Hello fellow Chapman descendants!
My name is Anne Williams and my husband, Curtis Williams, we believe, is a descendant of Joseph Chapman, American Revolution patriot. I am having some difficulty with finding documentation that:
John Martin Chapman (1770-1850) is Joseph Chapman's son
That John Martin Chapman had a son Jackson Chapman (1815-1881)
Who was Jackson Chapman's mother? There are (3) contenders that we have found: Christina "Diana" Tucker Conseenee, Nancy Pulliam, and Elizabeth Eichelberger. (From what we have found, we do not think Christiana "Diana" is Jackson's mom but could be mistaken.)
ANY guidance that could be shed on these inquires would be MOST appreciated!!
My husband and I are trying to prove lineage so we can submit a Sons of the American Revolution application so he, and our children, can be recognized.
Again, any guidance you may be able to share would be greatly appreciated! I did find old documents naming John as an heir since Joseph Chapman died without a will, so am hoping that will help.
Feel free to contact me at the email address provided:
The following from our website would NOT confirm that your John Martin Chapman is the son of Joseph Chapman 1745- 1836, IMO https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gEgZ9NGst9PP5srnsJof-N0RQ7yguc-F/view
