expense.
   Apr. 10, 1875: George Champlin, Westerly, R.I., to Selectmen of Lebanon.  Am 
able to do nothing to support my daughter Mary Jane; my wife and I are poor and 
unwell.
   Apr. 17, 1875: Lebanon to Milton Hathaway, Suffield, Ct.  George Champlin 
writes that he is unable to support his daughter (your granddaughter), Mary 
Jane Champlin.  You were asked to assume her support and it appears that you 
did so.  I hereby notify you to continue to take care of her.
   Apr. 19, 1875: George Champlin to Selectmen of Lebanon.  Milton Hathaway 
says that he has no means to support Mary Jane.
   Apr. 23, 1875: Norwich to Lebanon.  The family of William G. Chapman, 
consisting of his wife Harriet and 2 children (Viola A., aged 10 years, and 
William, 8 years) are on expense.  William G. Chapman has absconded.  He is the 
son of Gurdon Chapman, who had a settlement in Lebanon some 40 years ago.  He 
moved to Bozrah about that time, lived there 3 years, and died.  William G., 
his son, was born there, gained no settlement during his minority, and has not 
lived 6 years in any town since.
   May 5, 1875: Lebanon to Norwich.  A letter dated at Ledyard Apr. 30, 1842 
was sent to the selectmen of Lebanon stating that there was an account in the 
town of Salem for support and funeral charges of Gurdon Chapman.  Lebanon 
stated at that time that Gurdon Chapman never gained a residence in that town, 
having lived there only 2 or 3 years.  He paid no taxes, was sick, and the town 
of Salem paid his bill.
   May 28, 1875: Milton Hathaway, Windsor Locks (through C.B. Hathaway) to 
Selectmen of Lebanon.  I do not see the possibility of my doing anything for 
the support of my granddaughter, Mary J. Champlin.

expense.

and one dated Dec. 26, 1877.

burial and medical expense.
