It looks like William Henry chapman d. 1838, which explains why Electa ayres Chapman only had 2 kids, 1836 and 1838, and was living with her parents by 1840 and in 1850 as well--not clear when they went to Wisconsin, but in time for Lucy (as per census in NY--Elvira L in census in WI, but I always knew it was Lucy or Louisa) to marry by 1859 to Eli Bond Chapman. Only thing I can't figure out is bit from your original message re Jed's mother Amanda Denison m. Eleazer Hedges--does this mean she was m. to ?? Chapman who d. and then she re-married? I can't find any record of Amanda marriage to anyone in Saybrook prior to 1800, but I did find a Deacon William Chapman from Saybrook, Rev War vet who could conceivably have been dad if died 1881-end of war in 1883. Can you check that page again re these as names of Jed/Content kids, more or less in this order? Henry, Edward N, Albert, William H, Horace, George M, NC, Noyse/Noyes, Lyman and poss Ester and Lucy Elvira? Many thanks--
