General Notes: Husband - John Huntington Chaplin

---

He was a graduate of Yale University. In 1805 he came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, studied law under Hon. Henry Baldwin, and on November 15, 1808, was admitted to the Allegheny county bar. He subsequently removed to Florida, where he attained eminence in his profession, receiving the appointment of circuit judge of the United States Court. He was at one time worshipful master of Pittsburgh Lodge, No. 45, F. and A. M., chartered December 7, 1785.
He died of yellow fever.

He was born at Royalton, Vermont. He was graduated at Yale college, Connecticut, and came to Pittsburgh in 1805, where he studied law with Henry Baldwin, and was admitted to practice Nov. 25, 1808.
He moved to Pensacola, Florida, in the year 1820. He there practiced his profession successfully, and was in a fair way to redeem the promises of his aspirations, when cut off by yellow fever, just as he was about to bring his long exile from home to an end and to return to his loved ones.

A portrait of John Huntington Chaplin, painted in Boston, is said to have been on exhibition in Gillespie's art room, on Wood street, Pittsburgh, the queue and powdered hair denoting the fashion of the early time.
