"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 File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/taliaferro/photos/documents/indianwa6434ph.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.3 Kb
