George is my 2x great grandfather. His daughter, Anna Eliza Chapman married James Monroe Cooper on 03 Sep 1838 in Alexander County, Illinois. I am looking for his parents, birth date, and any other information I can find on him.

According to my grandfather (who died in 1968), George was the son of another George Washington Chapman and was born in Maine. George Jr. married Rachel Barshebah Little on 3 Sep 1838 in Alexander County, Illinois. They had at least 8 known children.

The 1870 census shows him in Pulaski County, Ill, with his wife Rachel.

Name George Chapman

Age in 1870 58

Birth Date 1812

Looking for parents of John Chapman born 1764 (perhaps Rhode Island) d 1817 Rensselaer County NY, His will and that of his son John Jr appear here. Have John's military records from Westchester County NY-- served with Thadeus Crane as quartermaster and also as ensign. Westchester Regiment also include Captain Benjamin, Stephen and Daniel Chapman. Stephen and Benjamin appear in records of Salem, Westchester County Church of Christ along with Isreal and Martha Sears Chapman. John Chapman owned farms in Rensselaer and Essex County NY. His wife was Mary Jane Nichols. Benjamin and Stephen both settled in Saratoga County across the Hudson from John. Daniel Chapman has his own DAR chapter and is connected to Robert Chapman of Saybrook.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for any help,

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!
