Johnny, My husband has a Joseph Chapman/Chatmon/Chatman in his tree who was born in 1876 in Stokes County, NC. He lived in NC and I don't know if he was ever in WV or not but If you think this Joseph is a possibility please email me direct at _Mysterymom42@aol.com_ (mailto:Mysterymom42@aol.com) and I will be glad to provide additional information.

He is my grandfather, he and my grandmother, Virginia "Jennie" Evans had an affair ca 1908 around the holidays in Naugatuck, West Virginia. My father Lee Roy Evans (b. 8-1909 d 12-1965) (he didn't like his name so he reversed it and went all his life by Roy Lee) {nickname Red for his hair}never saw his father and it wasn't until the 1980's that mom and I were talking and she said do you know that you aren't an Evans, I asked her what she meant. Mom said that Jennie had an affair with a much older man that her (she was born 2-1885) and that dad was born out of wedlock. I am the youngest child of 6 and my siblings, the oldest of which was born in 1929 didn't know of this info until I told them. I had a Chapman 37 marker DNA test done and the test results show that I have an exact match in 12 marker DNA, in the 25 marker there is a match with a Genetic Distance of 1 & in the 37 marker there is match with a Genetic Distance of 2. He is currently on vacation so I can't find out his ancestorial tree. But according to what I have been told he and I shared a common ancestor probably about 6 generations back. If anyone has a Joseph Chapman in their tree born before 1885 I would appreciate your sending the his information. I have no idea as to his age, mom didn't elaberate on how old he might have been (just that he was a much older man that Jennie) or if he was married. It is even posible that he was visiting the Naugatuck area and was just there for the holidays. My Evans great-grand parents are Francis Marion (b 2-1837) & Dicy Ferrell (b. 5-1860) Evans if that helps.
