General Notes: Husband - Richard Chapman, Jr.
He was born on the old homestead in Mount Pleasant township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and received but a meager education at the primitive subscription schools of the day. When he was yet a boy, his father died, and his mother then conducted a roadside inn near the town of Hickory, which tavern enjoyed considerable patronage from the traveling public, particularly emigrants moving westward. At this time Richard's spare hours from school were spent in assisting his mother, and so continued until his marriage, when he settled on a farm in the same township, where he followed agriculture up to the time of his death.
He was a member of the Disciple Church at Hickory, as was also his widow. In politics he was a strong Democrat, a prominent figure in the party. For seventeen years he was constable of the township, and was a widely known and popular man in the community.
