Melvin's parents were George W. Chapman & Louisa Spencer. George was s/o John Sneed Chapman who was s/o Edmund Chapman. Melvin and Willie were 2nd cousins per my FTM kinship function. I do know for a fact that Melvin was in Wisconsin between April 1917 and June 1918, then I lose them until 1930 where I found them in Harlan Co., KY.
