Terry, I've seen him with 3 different middle initials but I truly believe that he used the middle initial "T" which may have stood for Thurston. His youngest child ... a son born in 1863 ... was named James Thurston Chapman. In the 5th Tennessee there is a "J.T. Chapman." This regiment pulled from Henry County which would make sense although I'm now trying to figure out how/why the family moved from Henry County to Montgomery county. The only thing I can figure is that they moved there so that the mother and older sisters could work in the Woolen Mill.

Try here: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I tried James Chapman, Confederate, TN and left the bottom 2 options open and got 9 hits then I tried KY and got 2. Do you have a middle name or initial? It would narrow down the possibilities.
