My Chapman line connects to Casey through Mary ("Polly") Casey Waggener who married John Strother Chapman, one of the early settlers of that part of Henderson Co. that became Union Co. Polly Waggener was the daughter of John Andrew Waggener and Catherine Casey, the daughter of Peter Casey (1715-1787) and Mary Margaret DuPuy Williams (1722-1787). My Moorman and Venable connection is through Elizabeth D. Moorman, daughter of John Moorman (d. 1831), who was in turn the son of Charles Moorman and Mary Venable. Mary Venable was the daughter of Abraham Venable and Mildred Elizabeth Lewis. Elizabeth D. Moorman married Archibald Coleman. Their son was Thomas Jefferson Coleman (b. 1834); his daughter, Ina Jefferson Coleman, married my great grandfather, Guy Brooks Chapman. I have no certain link to the Strother and Pendleton names, although they appear repeatedly in my Chapman line. I assumed that these names came into the family through Sarah ("Sally") Bell (1754-1809) who married Thomas Chapman (1753-1795) of Frederick Co., VA. John Strother Chapman was one of their sons. This could be completely wrong, however. The Thornton name is connected through Jane M. Chapman, another daughter of Thomas Chapman and Sarah Bell. Jane M. Chapman married William Thornberry on 17 Oct. 1808 in Henderson Co., KY. William Thornberry was the son of Thornton Thornberry. I don't have a genealogy homepage. I'm happy to share with anyone. I was born and grew up in Paducah, but now I live in Atlanta -- right down the road from your home in Woodstock, Georgia. Mike Chapman At 11:11 AM 3/31/1999 EST, you wrote: >Good grief!
