    3. James D. CHAPMAN: James was born Nov 1858 in Mississippi, and married 18 Aug 1895 in Crawford Co. Mary Albina LAYMAN. His household appeared on the 1930 census of Van Buren, Crawford Co., Arkansas, as "Jim Chatman." It shows his birthplace as Mississippi, his father's as Alabama, and his mother's as Georgia. On the earlier 1900 and 1910 censuses of Lees Creek, Crawford Co., his name was listed as James D. Chapman. The 1910 census shows that Mary Albena was his his second wife, and that she then had 6 children, 4 still living. We don't know anything about his earlier marriage. William H. CHAPMAN: Nearby James CHAPMAN on the 1900 census was the household of William H. Chapman and wife Letitia and children. William was age 45 born Mississippi, his father's birthplace listed as Georgia and his mother's as Alabama. Surely William and James were brothers. Indeed, that is confirmed by the 1860 census of Panola Co., Mississippi where William and James are shown with with their mother and some siblings. Unfortunately that census used mostly initials for the names. We have never established the parents nor all the siblings names for James and William. Any help will be appreciated.
