Thomas Jefferson CHAPMAN "Bud", born 22 Aug 1844 in Jones Creek Community of 
Liberty County, died 26 Nov 1914 and was buried in Jones Creek, Liberty,

Alverda Baggs.  His parents were John Chapman & Elizabeth Delk Chapman.



Additional Comments:
When Thomas Chapman was born, his parents differed on a name for him, so he was 
called "Bud", a name that stuck as long as he lived.  Two days before he was 18 
(Aug. 20, 1862) he enlisted in the Confederate Army, Co. K, 5th Ga. Calvary 
Regiment. At this time it was necessary for him to have a name. He named 
himself Thomas Jefferson. He served until General Joe Johnston's army was 
surrendered in North Carolina at the end of the war, April 26, 1865.  He was 
mustered out at Smithville, N.C. (Now South Port.)
