"1. John Chapman, the eldest son of Robert Chapman, of Say-Brook, … The title of captain is given him in the town and church records of East Haddam, and also in the records of the secretary of state. That he was a man of considerable note in the town of Say-Brook, and at East Haddam, after his removal, is evident from the fact that he represented the former town in the General Court, at fourteen sessions, and the latter at eight sessions. At the session of the General Court which convened May 10th, 1694, the following act was passed: 'This Court grants liberty to Capt. John Chapman to set up a ferry over the Great River in Haddam for the future;' hence the name Chapman's Ferry. The probate records of Hartford and the town records of East Haddam and of Hebron, show that he owned large tracts of land in each of said towns. He died, as is supposed, in the spring of 1712. His estate was settled by the court of probate, at Hartford, April 8th, 1712."
