Many sources of information have been used in the preparation of this work via: Church records, grave stones, histories, historical societies archives, libraries, newspapers, court records, word of mouth, personal knowledge, etc, and although far from complete, it is offered with the hope that this will be a help to anyone who is interested in the Chapman genealogy.
