Hi Mike, In my Cupit-Bowman Family database, I have the following number of persons of your listed surnames: Wilson - 18 Erwin - 8 Smith - 119 Stroud - 12 Arnold - 23 Cupit - 690 Bowman - 24 Wright - 23 I have this database posted at my Cupit-Bowman Family web site. I will send you (and anyone else who may want to search it) separately a guest member invitation. You can then access my site and search my database as you wish. I do have Thomas Chapman, his wife Susannah and daughter Isabella Gertrude Chapman in my database, but nothing earlier than Thomas. I also have a James O Chapman, b 1864 and his daughter, Bertha V Chapman. Hope this helps, Regards, Glenn Cleon Glenn Cupit Wilson, Louisiana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Chapman" <mchapman@brick.net> To: <MSFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 8:25 AM Subject: [MSFRANKL-L] Chapman's, <1850 - Franklin CO. > > Surname: Wilson, Erwin, Smith, Stroud, Arnold, Culpit, Bowman, Wright > ------------------------- > > Looking for parents or any information prior to 1850 census on Thomas Chapman > b1820, d.1904, m.1853 to a Susannah Damaris Wilson b.1835-NC?.
