Robert Samuel Chapman
My grandfather was adopted by his Aunt Winter and her husband but he was a Chapman. I can trace back to the early 1800’s in Tennessee but family lore states that there was a Scotch-Irish Chapman that immigrated to the US that started the family here. It’s been reported that he had a very strong accent. I have pretty much exhausted my search resources on ancestry.com.
The last ancestor I can trace here in the states is: Robert Samuel Chapman, Born 1843 Mississippi US, Marriage 29 Jun 1866 – Yalobusha, Mississippi, US, Death 1880, Spouse Margaret Winter. Served in Ballantine’s Regiment of the 3rd Mississippi Calvary Battalion – also attached to Nathan Forrest’s Calvary. Robert had a brother named Allen. A story has gone around that Robert’s granddad was from Ireland. I’ve heard the Irish connection from my dad as a Scotch-Irish ancestry with an accent that was difficult to understand. He had sons Lee (my grandfather, whose full name was Robert Lee – became a Winter when adopted out to his Aunt), Lewis, Sarah (Sallie), Geneva and Julia and John. It may be that his father was Armour J. Chapman, born 1811 in Tennessee, US as the birth dates are in line for a Robert S. But I can
find no ancestor to Armour and am not even sure that Armour is Robert S’s father.

Ruth Hill Chapman
It looks like my grandmothers are directly linked back to Ruth Hill Chapman (7-30-1851) until the line breaks from Hervey. Hervey is directly linked to Robert (1616).
