I am cleaning out my inbox today and deleting the below message on the Chapman family in in Newberry County. By chance the Old Chester County in PA mail list is chatting about a Chapman family this weekend....so I am passing this along in case someone recognizes James ancestors to the Pa-old-chester list....and for James I am passing along the information that he might look in the archives to see if there could be possible hints for him. May be unrelated Chapmans....but you just never know when there will be something that will jump out at someone.
