    1. Re: Chapman, Isaac
    2. Just so you know, Annie Chapman, d/o John Chapman, did NOT marry James French at any point in time. Although she and James had a marriage bond posted in 1787, she apparently ran off with a Lybrook man (John) who "came for her" on or near the actual wedding day. James French, in turn, ended up marrying a Susan Hughes, d/o Reuben Hughes c 1789. David E. Johnston's History of the Middle New River Settlements noted this incident in his book. James and Susan, by the way were husband and wife until her death in the 1820s. He then married a Margaret Day of Tazewell, VA As for who Annie may have married the second time, I have no idea. In any event, I just thought that you may want to correct your ancestral file on this one. Take care, Bob
