J.A. Chapman [Condit, Ohio, 1875]
Page 8
The subject of this sketch was born in Hampshire County, Pennsylvania, on the 25th day of August, 1806. At the age of twenty-one years he was married to Miss L.A. Taylor, on the 15th day of October, 1827. They moved to Newark, Ohio, where they lived until the 1st day of April, 1828; then moved to Lancaster, Ohio, where they remained until April, 1829. They then moved to Madison County, Ohio, where they are now living. He is the father of eleven children, nine of whom are living — three boys and six girls. One of the boys is at home with his aged parents, taking care of them in their feeble days; two are married, and are living in said county. The girls are all married, four of them living in Madison County, and two in Pickaway County, Ohio. He held the office of Justice of Peace for twenty years; served as a member of the Legislature in the sessions of 1846 and 1847; and also served as Associate Judge for two years, and held the various township offices. He owns a farm, consisting of 628 acres, in Fairfield Township, well watered and improved, surrounded by all the comforts of life; and now, at the advanced age of sixty-eight years, nature is blessing him with extremely good health, and the respect and esteem of all who know him.
