Thomas Chapman was a witness to the above mentioned case and was adjudged to be 21 years old. Thomas mentioned that he was from Elizabeth River, Virginia.

p-317. Richard Pinner demands subpoena for Archibald Whahobb, Clement Theobals, John Price and Thomas Chapman, in the case of Richard Pinner vs Edmond Lindsey, defendant. Richard Pinner of Elizabeth River, Virginia Edmond Lindsey of Port Tobacco, Md. Thomas Chapman was hired in Virginia by Mr. Pinner to serve his time at Port Tobacco with Edmond Lindsey. He also said he had served out his time and was living with William Lee (of Port Tobacco.)

1663 was living in Charles Co., Maryland. He was 21-22 years old at that time and according to the record, was living with William Lee, a merchant and trader at Port Tobacco.

1689 married about this time to Elizabeth Craxon and had 2 children, Thomas Jr. and Mary. Thomas Chapman was about 46-7 years old when he married Elizabeth Craxon. This may have been his second marriage.

Co., between Accokick and Ocquia Creeks.

1695 He bought a farm on Matawoman Creek in 1695, according to the Charles County deed book I, pg-94, in the County Clerks Office.

Thomas Chapman Sr. married a widow, Margaret Perkins. Thomas was about 63 years old when he remarried and his wife was the mother of grown children, therefore probably was no issue by this marriage.

It is therefore assumed that he moved from Charles County, Md., to Stafford Co., Va., between June and September 1695. His wife was not mentioned in these trans-actions, therefore , it is believed that she died about the first part of 1695.
