I have been searching my Chapman roots for quite some time and have come across your website. While I can’t find any of my ancestors to match those you have on the site, I sincerely believe I have a place there. If I do, I will be happy to join your association. Below is a quick outline of my generations as far as I can go back using my sources and Ancestry.com. There are rumors from my grandmother that we are one of the “first families of Virginia” and we are descended from an “Ancient Planter”. The first family thing may have come from my grandmother’s side. She was a Wilson that goes way back in Virginia history and I am working on her, too. Would you be able to validate any
of my Chapman findings? I would appreciate any help that you are able to give me.
Thank you.

My name is Page Chapman III (male), and, after 77 years or so, I have decided to do some tracing of family history, and, in particular, where the name Page came from. I started out working through Ancestry.com and after a few days discovered the Chapman Family website. I THINK I trace back to the Edward Chapman line, but there are a few blanks along the way.

Elam Sharp Chapman
I am a descendant of Elam Sharp Chapman married to May 1855 in Pickens, SC and was married to Martha Aiken. I have his father as Jackson Chapman born about 1815 in Pickens, SC and his mother as Artimissia Reid Chapman, I am unsure who Jackson is a descendant of. Ancestry.com led me John Martin Chapman and Christiana Diana Tucker/ Hubbard. I see them listed on your website but no Jackson. Do you know if he is their son?
