I hope the following information on my Chapmans will help some of you help me and maybe you will also benefit from the information. More on my Chapmans: Married John P.

Lucinda "Cindy" b: 30 Sep 1843 d 23 Jul 1870 m 8 Feb 1862 Matthew Anderson Ref John P. Chapman Bible from Hazel V. Alexander. May 10, 1999: Today I received the book "Early Alexanders and Cloyd's Creek Blount County, TN." by Hazel Vance Alexander & Betty Blankenship Murr 1991. On Page 213 is a pedigree chart which begins with Emma Vance Chapman (spouse: James Russell Alexander). Emma is the dau of Addison Price Chapman. On this chart is John P. Chapman and it shows his date of death to be 1-23-1886. Place of death: Loudon Co., Tn. Burial place is Unitia Cemetary. This is the first time I've gotten info about place of death and burial. On page 203 of Hazel's book she says Howard Lee Alexander, son of James R. and Emma Alexander was born in the cabin on his grandparents farm (Price and Sarah Chapman) at Meadow. This appears to be Addison Price rather than his father John P. who also married a Sarah. At first my heart skipped a beat because I thought I'd finally found more information about John P. Chapman. When John P. Chapman was born in Wythe County, Va. March 9, 1798, there were, reportedly only 2 Chapman families in Wythe County at that time. A one page document I copied at the Blount County Public Library in Maryville, TN. by William E. Parham reads as follows: CHAPMAN Of Blount County, Tennessee #1 Chapman, John P. m. 5-1-1821 Sally (Sarah) H. umphrey) McLin, (Maclin) by Isaac Anderson 2.

John Logan's mother was Elizabeth Vance the Logan family moved into Indiana before 1850. Geo Alexander McLin (McLin) of Blount moved to nr Sweetwater, near 1876, and A. Price Chapman of near Meadow, were first Cousins, says the family. In an e-mail from Charles Dunn: It was good to hear from you. I don't have the parents or siblings of John P. Chapman. With just a quick look thru my files I found a note that said Thomas & Buonaparte were the children of Elizabeth Jane Chapman. She married Aaron Dunlap. There is a note that says they were possiblely the children of a previous marriage. I found them listed on the 1860 census in Blount Co., Tn. Then on the 1880 Blount Co., Tn. census I have a Bone Chapman listed with wife Isabella, son Walter, and a daughter whose name I couldn't make out. Living next door was a Chapman whose name was possibly Thomas with a wife named Sarah and a daughter Minnie. The note about the mother of Thomas and Bone was from Hazel Alexander. She is a cousin too, but she has passed away.
