Author: waroper Surnames: Roper, Chapman, Swink Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1877.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Amidst my notes, I also show that a Samuel ROPER was mentioned within these Revolutionary War Pension Applications: Nicholas CHAPMAN, Service in North Carolina, Pension Number S. 8193 Mary SWINK, widow's pension in respect of North Carolina service of John SWINK, Pension No. W. 2022 Elizabeth ROPER, widow's pension in respect of New Hampshire service of Silas ROPER, Pension No. W. 15292 My NOTES indicate that Nicholas CHAPMAN's Revolutionary Pension Application is purported to contain numerous mentions of a Samuel ROPER. There is also apparently a mention of a J. D. FERRIE, possibly a realtive of Martha FERRIS. Although I have NOT looked at the underlying Pension records cited (these are amongst notes of suggested further inquiry never undertaken or completed), in my view anyone with a keen interest in the families of one or more of the Samuel ROPER's discussed ought to consider reviewing at least Nicholas CHAPMAN's Pension application and informing other researchers of their findings!
