Son to: Leonard Marion(3 May 1819-19 Aug 1864) and Margaret Allen Chapman ( 21 Feb 1821-4 Jan 1864) Don't know where they are buried exactly, in Elizabeth City, NC on their farm.
Husband to: Blanche Ann Gibson Chapman
Father to: Leonard Fielding Chapman, James William Chapman buried somewhere near Austin, Texas, Blanche Annie Chapman Lawton, Lorena Constance Chapman Coberly (1890-1981)buried in De Land, Florida, Mary Elizabeth Chapman Brown
James was orphaned at an early age. Both parents died supposedly grieved by the destruction of the Civil War in the South. The young Chapman kids were supposedly raised by slaves until their sister Ann Chapman Commander married and took them all in. James became a Methodist Circuit Rider and traveled out west working with Indians and the untamed west. I was unable to trace him through census in the west, but family records place him in Texas, Arizona and California mostly. Settled in Florida in his later years.
