Joseph Chapman was an inhabitant of the North Parish of New London previous to 1755, at which time he exchanged 25 acres of land with Rev. David Jewett, which he says, "being land that my father, Samuel Chapman, gave me." The land thus exchanged by Mr. Chapman lay along the north side of the Jewett Farm, now owned by D. Chester Comstock. He afterwards owned the farm on which the famous "Cochegeon Rock" is located, afterwards owned by Bliss Baker, and a part of which farm Mr. Chapman sold to Joshua Baker, Jr., in 1762.

...Joseph Chapman is supposed to have been a brother of Jonathan Chapman, born in Nov., 1726, and who settled in Leffingwell Society near the Montville line, and has descendants still living in that society.
