First Generation 1. James Solomon CHAPMAN son of Benjamin CHAPMAN and Lucy was born on 8 Dec 1853 in Georgia. He died on 11 Jun 1930 in Emanuel Co., Georgia. He was buried in Antioch Church Cemetery, Twin City, Georgia. From Ralph Chapman: "The Chapmans that came to Emanuel County between 1880 and 1900. The family story goes that the women, children and housegoods, furniture and other equipment came to Garfield by train from Warrenton. They stayed with some cousins (unknown) until they could find a place to live. The men and boys drove the cattle and other livestock by foot and wagon. Thus far, we can't tie James Solomon Chapman to the Warren County group. The family said they all came from the Williams Creek area of Warren county. There is a lot of Chapmans buried in the Church cemetery there. Further conversations lead to the name Ben Chapman and Lucy Bray as being James Solomon's parents. Can't tie that together either. Oh well." ************************************************************************************************************* 1870 US Census: Barnett, Warren Co., GA - Household 318: CHAPMAN, Benjamin 45 Lucy L. 39 William 18 James 16 Mary 13 Sarah 12 Richard 10 Abner 5 1880 US Census: Stag Hall, Warren Co., GA - District 121; Household 199/216: JONES, James S. 27 Lucy A.
