Subject: Chapman Connections in Schuyler County, Illinois

I am looking for death records(s) in Schuyler County, IL for David
Marcus Chapman (b. 1808 Jefferson, Schoharie County, NY) and second wife
Angelina C. Burchard Chapman (b. 1824 NY/Mass). I do not know when or
where they died or where they are buried. Below are the last records
(census) I have for this couple. Angelia was 20 years younger than
David, and may have married after his death. They are my Great-great
grandfather and mother.

A daugher, Minerva Chapman Murphy (b. 19 Apr, 1830)(d. 31 Mar 1912
Rushville, Schuyler, IL and is buried in Brooklyn Cemetery, Row 7, old
part). Minerva is the first child of David, (b. 1808 NY) and his first
wife, Eliza Harris Chapman. Minerva married Alan Murphy and lived next
door to her father, David Chapman, in Schuyler county.

When searching the census records, Dolores Raymond
(), will copy the 10 names above and the 10 names
below the name she is looking for in the census record. That is how she
knows about David Chapman. Dolores corresponds with a descendant of
Edward Ridenour who lived next door to Allen Murphy. This person did not
know of Chapman, but sent Dolores her paperwork. Edward Ridenour's wife
was Nancy Jane Quick. Benjamin Raymond, son of Uriah Raymond, and family
moved to Reno county, KS about 1880. Benjamin Raymond's daughter,
Fridelle, married Clarence Murphy. Dolores says she does not know if any
Allen Murphys or Chapmans went to Kansas in the wagon train with the
Raymonds.
The following is the list of names from the 1870 census Schuyler County,
Ill, Birmingham Twp, pg no 7.
174 John Raymond
175 Davenport, Morris
176 Coker, Sylvester
177 Jones, Richard
178 Edward Ridenour
179 Allen Murphy
179 David Chapman
180 Ellis Raymond
181 Uriah Raymond
182 Ford, Hanning
183 Beard, A. L.
188 George Walliis
189 Oliver Tripp
Dolores says she failed to copy the last 5 names.
In 1997, she writes: I don't know if you have been to Schuyler county,
but if you haven't, Uriah Raymond's land is now a State park. I don't
know if David's or Allen's property was included.

The son, David Marcus Chapman Jr. (b. Feb 1, 1857 Gallipolis, Gallia,

in 1880 and moved to Quincy, Adams, IL. I have not been able to find any
record of his parents
in Adams county.
