  • Name James William CHAPMAN 
    Born Oct 1845  Washington Co, OH Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3] 
    • Age 26 in 1880 marriage record would put birth in about 1854, an apparent clerical error; age 48 in 1894 marriage record puts it at about 1846, and the 1900 Census specifies Oct 1846. However, his death record states birth date as Oct 4 1845, while his headstone shows it as Oct 12 1844. There is also a conflict with his date of death, with the death record stating Feb 14 1922, while he headstone has Feb 22 1922.
