Uriah Chapman
Does the Chapman Family Association have any historical documentation that differentiates Uriah Chapman of PA (1733-1816) from his son Uriah, using the suffixes "Sr" and "Jr"? I noticed the transcription of his will on your website, but those terms do not appear. If you do not have access to the documentation, maybe you can refer me to some sources. It is highly possible that both Uriah’s did not refer to themselves as "Sr" and "Jr."
