Notes:

Name:
JOHN CHAPMAN, the progenitor of the Chapman family of this region round about, was of English origin, the son of John Chapman and wife Joanna Sumner, who resided about fifty miles from London. Tradition has it that he was forced into the British Navy, by a press-gang, and after a while, the ship visited Boston, New England, when he availed himself of the opportunity to assume the liberty of which he had been deprived. He fled and found succor in the abode of Samuel Allen, in what is now called Wakefield, Rhode Island. He was a weaver, having become proficient therein by several years service. He came to Stonington, now North Stonington, where he worked at his trade the remainder of his life.

John married Sarah BROWN on 16 Feb 1710. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
