Son of Benjamin and Sylvia (Upson) Chapman. Married Phebe Stansbery in Franklin County, OH, on January 25, 1816. He was a merchant from Worthington, Franklin County, OH, who travelled to Natchez for trade purposes.
There are several narratives regarding his death: the first was that he died on a steamer ship while traveling in the south for his health; the second was that he was in town on business. Both versions agree that he died of consumption (tuberculosis), which is supported by the Adams County Sextant Records, which read: "CHAPMAN R. R. DEC 13, 1827 CONSUMPTION"
Interred in the city cemetery, probably (but not definitely) in an unmarked grave.
