[Chapman.FTW]

Probably named for Aaron's older brother.

Birth: baptismal record from First CongregationalChurch, Norwich, CT. Letter (8/1/74, from Elizabeth Knox (Sec'y & Curator of the newLondon Historical Society) states Aaron and Ezekiel were born in Norwich CT. Letter (7/18/74, also Knox) says New London itself, in 1708, had 249 male inhabitants. No

regular census, but Norwich had 174 males (Colchester wasn't separate at that time). There were maybe half that many males in 1670.

Ezekiel Chapman married Jerusha Lee Dec 14, 1768, he being "of Colchester," (also New London County, just to the west of Lebanon.

Lived (from children's birth places): Lebanon in 1774; Springfield MA 1776; Westfield 1780-1785; Argyle NY 1789.

1777, 1 May, enlisted in Revolutionary War for 3 yrs, was an armorer, had a pension.

Notes for Jerusha Lee:

[Chapman.FTW]

Chapman Family Bible (called Zenas, #2) gives her birth date as May 26, 1749. This Bible was printed in 1810, so this info was not original. Thus her correct birth date may be May 23 as given in the Arnolds Copy of Vital Statistics (in a letter from the Lebanon Town Clerk to MM. This letter also gives her parents as Israel and Dorothy Lee.

Children of Ezekiel Chapman and Jerusha Lee are:

i. Zenas Chapman69, born April 23, 1770 in Lebanon, New London County, CT70,71; died June 08, 1855 in Cooperstown, Otsego County, NY72,73,74; married (1) Anna Randol February 24, 1794 in Chatham, CT75,76; born September 15, 177276; died Aft. 1803 in Prob Cooperstown, Otsego County, NY76; married (2) Penelope Westcott January 24, 1812 in By William Lathrop, Justice of the Peace, Otsego County NY77,78; born April 03, 1778 in Cranston, Providence Co., RI79,80; died 1862 in Cooperstown, Otsego County, NY81,82.

Hartford, 14 mi directly W of Colchester. Lebanon is 7 mi NE of Colchester. Anna d. betw 1803-1812

Second wife: Penelope Westcott (from whom descent). Is there a fourth child from this marriage, an Emeline? We have no Bible records to show it, but it is odd that the 1825 Census says there were 2 girls under 16! One would have been Nancy, age 13, but who was the other??

1797, 6 Mar, CT deed: Zenas bought for 55 pounds a dwelling house with barn and blacksmith's shop in Lebanon (Zenas 27 yrs, married 3 yrs, Charles & Jabez born).

Notes for Anna Randol:

[Chapman.FTW]

Anna Randol must have d. after 1803, the birth of Katherine Chapman, before 24 Jan 1812, when Zenas m Penelope. Probably Anna's mother and father were John Randal and Kathrine Lamb m 27 Oct 1768 in Norwich- Bozrah (Bailey: Bk V, p 55)

iii. Charles Lee Chapman83,84, born March 30, 1776 in Springfield, Hampshire County, Mass85,86; died Bef. 183987,88

Notes for Charles Lee Chapman:

[Chapman.FTW]

His father, Ezekiel, enlisted 1 May 1777, residence W. Springfield.

Charles must have died before 1839, as he is not mentioned in Zenas' application for remainder of Jerusha's pension. See Ltr Chap/NY/III 7-b

Could he have been in War of 1812? He'd have been 36 yrs. There are 2 Charles in NY Militia: Dutton's 2nd, and Smith's 140th Reg'ts.

Notes for Freeborn Austin, Sr:

[Chapman.FTW]

8/2/00 Found his birth and death date thru RootsWeb search (James Hartigan, e-mail address: [email protected]. Also 8/3/00 found some info on the Herkimer web page. In the 1869-70 Business Directory for Herkimer there were several Austins, 2 Freeborns, on farmer w 1 1/2 acres, mailing address Utica, and Freeborn Sr, farmer 50 acres, address also Utica. Also from History of Herkimer Co NY (George A. Hardin, Syracuse 1893) in Family Sketches section about Henry Austin, b in town of Schuyler, NY 1802, son of Freeborn Austin (must be the 2nd son, b 1801). Freeborn was in War of 1812

Laura Perkins also answered my query on Herkimer page (she is a contributing editor): From Freeborn Austin Family Record, copied by Edith Batsford Swancott NSDAR #164796, March 1932, list of 11 children, and marriage in RI, which latter may be incorrect.

1805, June, Warham Chapman of Marcellus, NY bought 50 acres of Lot 43 in Marcellus by mortgage from Philip Van Courtland for $167.50. He paid off the mortgage in 1806.

1810 Census Warham listed.

1812, Feb, Warham and Thankful Chapman sold that land in to Jude Comstock who lived next to Tracy's in-laws in 1810 census. The 1812 deed names Warham Chapman of Nelson, Madison County NY.

1820, he died, intestate and in debt, leaving wife Thankful, and 3 children. On 27 Apr 1822 (probate??)

the children were recorded as Zenas L., age abt 14 1/2, Julia Ann 10 yrs 9 mos and Louisa Caroline 3 yrs. By this date, widow Thankful had m. and Eber or Ebn Lindsley. More information about his debts, inventory and sale of property is in File #351,

vii. Ezekiel L. Chapman100, born August 24, 1789 in Argyle, Washington County, NY101,102; met Olive Wallace.

Notes for Ezekiel L. Chapman:

[Chapman.FTW]

Argyle Township, Washington County, included Argyle, N. Argyle, S. Argyle, and is East of Ft. Edward, Hudson Falls, and N. of Saratoga (it is close to the Vermont border, 45-50 miles as the crow flies from Athens, Windham Co Vt, where there is an Ezekiel Chatman in the 1790 Census) is an incorporated village, township population 2,415. Zip

12809. Hudson Falls is the county seat of WA County.

Barber: Abstracts of Wills of Otsego Co.* 1794-1850, Vol 2, being Liber E-H, 1 & 2. Bk E 1834-1824, p. 68 (actually p 70, 60 in index) Dec 27-1813-Mar 4 1814, has Ezekial Chapman (can this be Zenas' brother?), of Maryland (a southern township of Otsego Co), and mentions Olive Wallace (the woman with whom he has co-habited ), sons Aron, Ezekial, David, Daughter Esther Fuller, Eunice G. wife of Samuel Chapman. Executrix: Olive Wallace. Witnesses Daniel Olmstead, Eliphalet Mead, Stephen Olmstead.

In Zenas' application for his share of Jerusha's pension in 1839, at her death, Ezekiel is given as of Warren, so perhaps the above Ezekial (in will) is from another Chapman line. There is a Warren County, No. of Glens Falls, of which Lake George is the county seat, but it is more likely that Warren Township, Herkimer County, pop 978, just above Springfield Center, Otsego Co, is meant in the applications.

65. Keziah Rood107, born December 1716 in Norwich, New London, CT108,109.

Notes for Aaron Chapman:

[Chapman.FTW]

Marriage License for Aaron & Keziah gives his parents as Joseph Chapman and Marcey ____.

When his father Joseph d in 1725, Aaron was 7 yrs old. On 25 Mar 1728, he was bound out as an apprentice blacksmith (until he was 21) to Ebenezer Lothrup and wife of Norwich (source: . His mother remarried 19 Dec 1728. See Philip Chapman Ellsworth article in Chapman Chatter, No 27, Fall 1991.

On 11 Feb 1741/42 Aaron and younger brother Daniel sold all right they had in the lands of their father Joseph in Wauwecus Hill to Benjamin Wentworth (no doubt a relative of Mercy's).

Notes for Keziah Rood:

[Chapman.FTW]

Norwich Vital Records says, p 42: Keziah Rood was Born ye latter End of Decembr 1716.

Certified copy of Marriage License (Keziah & Aaron Chapman) from CT State Dept of Health: Keziah's father's name was George Rood, her mother's Hannah Bush. The name Keziah (Kezia) comes from Job 42:14. She was the second daughter of Job born after his great trial. It means "cassia,"

Notes for Mary Chapman:

[Chapman.FTW]

F.W. Chapman, p. 272 has "Aaron m. Keziah 1739", but "Mary b. 1710, d.

1741", so 1710 birthdate must be wrong.

MM (letter 2/5/78 in possession of Jean Snow) said Joshua was a minute man from MA, and his present descendants live in Malone, NY, of whom several are DAR members.

Joshua, though 14 years younger than Ezekiel, must have remained in contact with them. He gave an affadavit for Jerusha's pension application stating he was present at their wedding.

Notes for Joseph B Chapman:

[Chapman.FTW]

There has long been a misconception that this Joseph was descended from William of New London. See Chapman Family Genealogy, F.W. Chapman, Hartford, 1865, p.268, which has the WRONG Joseph. It says he was a mariner.

Mather: Refugees of 1776, p.291: "Joseph removed to Norwich, Conn. where he died 10 June 1725." [perhaps the wrong Joseph again?]

But see Philip Chapman Ellsworth's meticulous research separating this Joseph from the Joseph descended from Edward of Ipswich MA in Chapman Chatter #27, Fall 1991.

On Feb 5 1707 Joseph's intention of marriage was recorded in Ipswich (Gil Alford: Marriage date 5 Apr 1707). He and Marcy moved to New London township betw 1707 and 1714. Marcy's mother & father moved to Norwich or New London in 1707. Joseph was admitted to Norwich by public vote in 1715. Was said to be a mariner (Norwich isinland on the Thames, a navigable tidal waterway). In 1718 he joined the First Congregational Church of Norwich.

The two descending Chapman lines from Edward and William were in the Norwich-Colchester area and must have met.

1. Marcy's sister Katherine married Daniel Chapman, a son of John Chapman of Colchester and grandson of William Chapman of New London (marriage recorded in Colchester), and

2. After Joseph's death (1725), Marcy married William Chapman Junr (recorded in a Colchester land record). William was the son of John Chapman of Colchester, the eldest son of William of New London. No doubt William and Marcy met through her sister Katherine. Were there other connections between these two lines?

Notes for Thomas Mede:

Thomas Meade migrated from Somerset during the reign of Henry VI [before 1471] and settled in Clavering, Essex. He left a will dated 1504 in Prerogative Canterbury Court. In his will he names his brother William Mede, his wife Johanna, and his four sons, Richard, Thomas, Robert and John.

Thomas's descendants lived in Clavering, Elmdon, Berden, Great Easton, and Chrishall, which are all within about ten miles of each other in northwest Essex.

His descendant, William Mead, Migrated to America in 1635. In 1780, William's descendant Enoch Mead built a house and named it Elmdon.

The information here is based mainly on wills, which are documented separetely for each of the people involved, and on Visitations. The Visitation of Essex, 1634 [No 1] shows the descentants of Thomas Meade, son of Thomas

Meade of Claveing, d. 1504. The Visitation of Essex 1634 [No 2] shows the descendants of John Meade of Great Easton, d 1570. The Visitation of Essex 1634 [No 3] shows the descendants of Edward Meade of Berden d. 1577. The Visitations of Cambridgeshire 1575 and 1619 show the descendants of John Meade of Great Easton, d. 1565. The Visitation of Essex 1664-1668 shows the descendants of Richard Meade of Berden, d. 1611.

Inscription: Thomas Mede, Thrice mayor [ 1475 ]

Coat of Arms: Gules a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent

St. Thomas Mede is probably the father of Thomas Mede of Somerset, who went to Clavering, Essex in about 1470 and died there in 1504. The connection between Sir Thomas Mede of Wraxall, Somerset, and Thomas in Clavering, Essex, is based on three pieces of circumstantial evidence.

First, the names. There were three generations of Thomas Medes in Somerset and five or six generations of Thomas Medes or Meades in Essex.

Second, the Coat of Arms. Several Meades in Essex used the same coat of arms: a chevron ermine between three trefoils slipped argent.

Third, Clavering. The niece of Thomas Mede of Wraxall, Isabel Mede, married Maurice de Bekeley. Maurice was related to Elizabeth de Berkeley [his father's first cousin], who owned the manor of Clavering Essex. The manor passed from her to her husband, Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, and from his to his son-in-law, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick. Thomas Mede of Clavering moved to Clavering, Essex, in abut 1470, dying there in 1504. Possibly he was rewarded with land for supporting the Berkeley family at the Battle of Nibley Green, or for supporting the Earl of Warwick in 1470, or simply to help out a cousin.- from Vance Mead webpage on Mead HX [NY 160]

"The tomb of the Mede family is aprox. 10 ft high by 18 ft by 3 ft. It contains in one compartment the effigies of Thomas and his wife and in the other a brass of Philip and his two wives. This rectangular brass shows Philip kneeling with his wife. Philip's helmet is seen in front of him leaving his head uncovered and showing his long hair. Philip Mede's daughter married Maurice the younger brother of William 12th Lord Berkeley. Philip also supported with his men the Berkeley family at the last private battle fought on English soil at Nibley Green in 1470.

Philip Mede was Mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462 and 1469. Thomas was also Mayor but is dressed in merchant clothing and as he had the tomb built with its fine carving I suppose he managed to gain the family wealth."- from the Vance Mead webpage on Mead HX [NY 160]
