Sarah Chapman
I wonder if the Chapman Association has any information regarding Sarah Chapman born Saybrook CT 5 April 1742 to John and Sarah (Jones) Chapman line of Nathaniel son of Robert Chapman the immigrant beyond what was published in the 1854 Chapman genealogy by F. W. Chapman. I would also like to put a query about her on the website but could not figure out how to do it.

Solomon Chapman
I have been researching my Chapman line for a while. I tried to see if any of the genealogies on your site would connect with mine. I believe I am a descendant of Solomon Chapman who was a veteran of the French Indian War. He was b in 1696 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut. He married Hannah Strong on 8 Aug 1717 and they had 10 children. My ancestor was their 4th child, Deacon Elijah Chapman who was b abt 1726 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut. Elijah Chapman married Sarah Steele on 28 May 1747 and they had 12 children. My ancestor was their sixth child, Daniel Chapman who fought in the Revolutionary War. He was b 25 Jul 1756 and married Lucretia Finch on 25 Oct 1788. They had 12 children also, my ancestor was their 5th child, Solomon B Chapman b 10 Jul 1798. Especially if I can get help finding out where my ancestor, Colonel Samuel Chapman Sr is buried.

Stephen Chapman
I currently reside in Southern Maryland very close to Chapman's Landing (if you are familiar with the area). My family line comes from Stephen Chapman (b. 1801) and Cassandra Garrison Swan. I have heard that possibly that Stephen Chapman's father may have been a Benjamin Chapman married to Nancy Chapman who according to the 1787 Census resided in Augusta Co, VA. Here is where my trouble begins. I cannot find real documentation that Benjamin Chapman is the father of what would be my great great great grandfather Stephen Chapman. There is also a possibility that Stephen Chapman was also married to a Mary Smart Cavitt and the speculation is that they are the parents of Stephen Chapman. If you or anyone within the organization are at all familiar with this time frame and these individuals and would be willing to provide me with information, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you could point me in the right direction. Some other information I have is that Stephen was born in TN, and moved to MO and then to IL.
