Richard...one more thought...note that one of the kids/ Elizabeth was shown in 1860 as born in CT and in 1870 she was shown as born in Ill. My bets are on CT. That would mean that the family more than likely came from one of the new england areas..unless they made a side trip into NY So...that said....here are some for you to check out Julias Chapin Worceter Co, Milford MA page 55 Julius Chapin Hampden Co, Chicopee page 207 Julius Chapin Wyoming Co, China, NY page 354 J Chapin Cattaraugus Co, Burton NY page 219 Julie
