Wyatt McNeil Chapman was the oldest of two children born to William David Chapman and Ada Evelyn Chadwick, who were married in Muscogee Co., GA, on July 10, 1892. William was a clerk in Columbus, and the couple had just one more child, Arrie L. Chapman (b. July 1897), before William tragically died at age 40 in 1900. A couple years later, his widow Ada married as her second husband, Samuel A. Williamson, a telegraph operator. Samuel, Ada, and Arrie went to live in Americus, Sumter Co., GA; and at some point, Wyatt went to live with his grandmother, Mrs. W. H. (Mary F.) Chadwick, in Columbus. About 1908, Samuel and Ada had one child of their own, a son named Guyton E. Williamson (Wyatt's obituary failed to mention his younger half-brother).
Wyatt was clearly named for his two grandfathers, Daniel McNeil Chapman and Wyatt Holmes Chadwick, who both served in the CSA in the Civil War. Daniel McNeil Chapman was a 2nd lieutenant in Co. D., 46th Georgia Infantry; and Wyatt Holmes Chadwick was a private in Co. K, 7th Regiment Confederate Cavalry.
At the time the country entered World War I, Wyatt was single and in Cincinnati, Ohio, studying, working, or both, at the "School of Music." He was a singer. On his WWI draft card from June 1917, he was described as "tall," "slender," with gray eyes and dark hair.
