General Notes: Husband - Henry Chapman

---

He was born in Hickory, Mount Pleasant township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, his education (which was most limited, as he had to commence working for himself very early in life) being secured at the common schools of the district. At the age of twelve years he left home, and for some time worked for James Ross, a farmer in the same township, after which he worked at various other places until 1847, when he went to Belmont County, Ohio, whence in 1850 he returned to Washington County, settling on a farm on Buck run, in Donegal township, where he thereafter resided, and which property he purchased in 1875. This highly improved piece of land was situated about two miles southwest of Atchison, and was equipped with some of the finest farm buildings in the township.
He and his wife were consistent members of the Dutch Fork Disciple Church, and in politics he was a lifelong Democrat.
His farm comprised 200 acres of prime land, and he raised pure-bred Spanish Merino sheep, of which he had a flock of 350; also Devonshire and Jersey cattle.
He had in his possession a church "letter" over 100 years old from the Seceder Church in Monaghan, Ireland, to the church America, which letter was brought by his grandfather from across the ocean.
