I obviously have very little skill in genealogy. I am trying to confirm the parents of Giles Mathis Chapman, born abt 1796 in Newberry county, SC. Died abt 11Dec1865 in Crawford, GA. I am also trying to determine if Gil’s Mathis’ son was Louis or Lewis Otis Chapman, born abt 1829 in GA. Thanks for any help you can provide. Willgetsmail@gmail.com

Looking at my family tree this morning. I noticed that I have an unclaimed Chapman! Mary C Chapman b.1809 at Camp Creek, Lincoln, NC and d. 1874. She married Absolom Hoyle (1801-1867) in about 1824. All that info came from The Chapman Trail. Now their son, Eli Hoyle (1830-1900) m. Louisa Eliza Chapman, b. abt 1883, in 1853 in Cleveland County NC. Louisa is daughter of William J Chapman and Rachel. Which Chapman family does Mary C Chapman belong too? Thanks for any help you can share.

Hello everyone!
I'm putting a together a presentation for this June's Chapman Family Association conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The topic is Major Migrations from Europe to the American colonies/United States from approximately 1620-1920. I'd love to hear your ancestor's story - and not necessarily just your Chapman ancestors. Please reply with where in Europe (town, region, country) they emigrated from, where in North American they went to, when, and why (if you know). I'd love to include some of your ancestors in my presentation!
Thanks in advance!
My ancestral line can be traced back to Robert Chapman b. ~1675 d. 1749 in Baltimore County, MD. Robert first appears on the Elk Ridge Hundred Tax list in 1704, but there is no indication where he came from. Based on autosomal DNA he was probably from England.

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.)
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

I see your dilemma. Searching the CFA on South Carolina and Georgia Chapman lines might be of help. In researching, starting with latest documented records, looking for clues in them and going backwards has worked for me and others. Wish I could be of more help.
