"On the 12th inst. at JAMES  VEAZEY'S residence in Talbot
County, MR. NEWTON CHAPMAN, a private in the  Volunteer
Infantry from Taliaferro County. He died among strangers but
was  rendered every attention. Was buried on the 13th with
full military honors  by the Talbot Guards. July 26, 1836."

We  have suspected that he was son of Thomas and Sarah
(Hart) Chapman of Taliaferro but have no proof.  It is
interesting that he died at James  Veazey's residence as
James Veazey married Susannah/Susan Hart, sister of  Sarah
(Hart) Chapman.  

There was a Nathan Chapman who could be of an age to be in
service then.  That would be Nathan,  a proven son of Thomas
& Sarah (Hart) Chapman who was born ca. 1818-1819 and would
be about 17 or 18 in 1836.  However, he did not die but
lived on for a long long time
