CHAPMAN.
ISAAC CHAPMAN.
Ralph Chapman came in the Elizabeth from London in
1635. His age is stated in the Custom House return to be
20. He was a ship carpenter of Southwalk, in Surry, near
London. He settled first in Duxbury, and there married
23d Nov. 1642, Lydia Wells, a daughter of Isaac, afterwards
of Barnstable.* His children were Mary, born 31st
Oct. 1643 ; Sarah, 15th May, 1645 : Isaac, Aug. 4, 1647 ;
Lydia, born and died 26th Nov. 1649 ; Ealph, 20th June,
1653, died next month, and Ralph again. His daughter
Mary married 14th May, 1666, William Troop of Barnsta-
ble, and Sarah married William Norcut of Yarmouth, afterwards
of Eastham. His son Ralph of Marshfield, had a son
John reputed to be 104 years of age at his death. The
elder Ralph died at Marshfield in 1671, aged 56.
Isaac Chapman, son of Ralph, settled in Barnstable.
He married Sept. 2, 1678, Rebecca, daughter of James
Leonard. His house and shop stood on the south side of
the County road on the lot formerly owned by Isaac Wells,
a short distance west of the Court House. Children born in

(Jhildren born in Barnstable.
I. Lydia, 15th Dec. 1679.
II. John, 12th May, 1638.
III. Hannah, 26th Dec. 1682, died July 6, 1689.
* Mr. Savage says Lydia Wills or Willis. I read the record Wells;
but cannot at this moment give the authority for saying she was a
daughter of Isaac Wells of Barnstable. Isaac Chapman and John Miller
of Yarmouth, were heirs to the estate of Margaret, widow of Isaac
Wells. It may be that Ralph Chapman's wife was not a daughter, but
it is jji-obable.
