Joseph CHAPMAN
ID: JOS747NC
There has been confusion between this Joseph and JOS745VA for many decades. At least three persons were admitted in DAR listing JOS745VA when they should have listed this one. This Joseph was born 1745-50 in Tyrrell Co., NC and died Oct. 27, 1798. He married Jemima Caswell, daughter of Matthew Caswell III prior to August 1771. Because of his patriotic service in North Carolina, descendants do qualify for DAR.
Their children were Richard, Jessica/Jesse, Elizabeth "Betsy", John, Polly, Meredith and Samuel.
Joseph Chapman was a Captain in the American Revolution.
