Facts and Events
Information downloaded from Don Dickenson's GedCom version 2/7/2002. Lydia is named executrix in his will. From Norwich, CT Deeds - Vol. 3B, page 443 - Not Proven About 1712 a William Chapman of Colchester, New London Co., Connecticut signed off on David Rice's (or Royce's) estate being one of the heirs of "our late brother and uncle." David Royce was born August 19, 1682 in Norwich, Connecticut and died about 1712 in Norwich, Connecticut. From Joseph Chapman of Norwich and Colchester, Connecticut A Historical Reconciliation, by Philip Chapman Ellsworth Joseph Chapman and William Chapman, brothers of John Chapman of Colchester, are mentioned in several early Colchester town and land record entries. The earliest observed date which may apply to them is December 29, 1703. On this date, the "marks for cattle" of John Chapman were recorded in a Colchester land record. Following this entry, as though part of if, although on a subsequent page, are recorded the cattle marks of John Chapman Junior, Joseph Chapman, and William Chapman. William Chapman's name next appears in 1713, and Joseph Chapman's in 1714. ... William Chapman the immigrant had two sons, John Chapman (senior) and William Chapman (William Chapman II), both of whom had sons named William. Colchester town records between 1715 and 1734, however, appear to refer to William Chapman, son of John as William Chapman Junior. This designation was apparently made in town records in order to differentiate between the two adult William Chapmans living in Colchester at that time: John Chapman's son William, born circa 1689, and John's own brother, William (William Chapman II), born circa 1654. |
