From A History of Montville, Fargo Families Chapter

... Mary Chapman, Dau. of Alpheus Chapman.

There was no information found in the Wyoming County Historian's office to confirm Mary's parentage.

From Biographical Review of Livingston and Wyoming Counties, NY

... Nehemiah Fargo, was born in Connecticut, January 10, 1764, and came to Wyoming County in 1804, having lived in Sandisfield and Great Barrington, Mass., and at Green River and in Genesee, N.Y. His wife, Mary Chapman, was the mother of five sons and three daughters, of whom a little boy of four was drowned and a little girl died at three years of age. The others all grew to maturity and became heads of families, Silas, the eldest, living to be ninety-four. Mrs. Fargo, who as born on Christmas Day, 1764, died December 12, 1839. Mr. Fargo died on October 13, 1828.

...Nehemiah Fargo, who settled in this locality [Warsaw] in 1804. His wife and six children made the journey by teams, and upon their arrival invested some of their small means in a farm of one hundred and sixty acres of uncultivated land. A log house was erected on the bank of a creek by the old dam, and here the family lived in peace and contentment. Nehemiah died, aged sixty, at his son's house, which was near the old cabin. His wife survived him but a few years. They were both within the fold of the Presbyterian church.

In January 1826, Alpheus Chapman's estate reflects a payment to Nehemiah Fargo of $150.00 for a legacy due his wife.
