Notes for John CHAPMAN
JOHN CHAPMAN (bap. Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts; d: 07 December 1760 in Tewksbury, Essex, Massachusetts.
Up to this point, the Johnny Appleseed Ancestry in the Ohio State Arch. & Hist. Quarterly, Vol 48 (1939) p 20-32 is in substantial agreement with the Edward Chapman Genealogy by Jacob Chapman. In fact, they agree even as to the list of children and birth dates of John and Elisabeth Davis Chapman. The Chapman Genealogy, however, has the wife of John listed as Joanna Perkins..."had 5 ch. He was a maker of leather breeches. Had, in 1779, bought land in Londonderry, NH where he d in 1793, ae 78." Florence Wheeler does not attempt to reconcile her research with the earlier genealogy by telling us the parents of this John Chapman who m. Joanna Perkins. However, her discussion about the children of Nathaniel, naming their uncle "Davis Chapman" who is also listed as a brother of John in the Chapman Genealogy, is probably sufficient to prove her point.
