Margaret - I have very little information on my Hewitt connection but here's what I know. My gg-grandfather's first wife was Cynthia Hewitt. She was born about 1798 according to the 1850 Adams County, IL census in New York (if I am reading the script correctly). I have her father as an Ephraim or Walter and her mother as Elizabeth. Cynthia married Samuel Thompson 27 Oct. 1817 in Athens County, Ohio. Samuel and several brothers can be found in Rome Township census records until 1834 when most of the family moved to Adams County, IL. Cynthia died in 1851. Neither Chapman or Coder are names that appear in my family line. Lucy
