Name	Samuel Chapman
Born	12 Sep 1672	Saybrook, Middlesex Co, Connecticut [1, 2, 3]
	"Samuell Chapman the son of Robert Chapman was born 12 September 1672"
Gender	Male
Died	1759
Notes	Capt. Samuel CHAPMAN married Margaret GRISWOLD, of Norwich, supposed to be the daughter of Capt. Samuel GRISWOLD (doubtful), and grand-daughter of Lieut. Francis GRISWOLD (possible). Mr. CHAPMAN was a prominent man in Saybrook in civil and military affairs. He resided in what is now the town of Westbrook, and with his wife Margaret, was of the first fourteen persons who were organized into a church at that place, 29 June 1726. Four of his descendants have been successively deacons of that church. The date of Samuel CHAPMAN's decease is not known. !The CHAPMAN Family (1854); Rev. F.W. Chapman According to Torrey, Margaret born in 1668 married Thomas BUCKINGHAM 16 Dec 1691 at Saybrook. There is no record of Samuel GRISWOLD son of Francis having a daughter named Margaret and the fact that he wasn't married until late in the year 1685 makes it impossible for him to have fathered a child old enough to marry 8 years later. There is another Margaret GRISWOLD who is a niece of Edward GRISWOLD. She is the daughter of John GRISWOLD and Mary BEVINS who was born 10 Dec 1675 making her age 18 at the time of the marriage of Samuel CHAPMAN. This makes much more sense than a bride aged 8. There seems to be no marriage listed for this Margaret, but she did live to maturity. !Families of Early Guilford, CT:531 March 1718 - Whereas Edward Lay of Lyme, and Samuel Chapman of Saybrook, were brought before this board to be examined of threatning words spoken this day to the sheriff of the county of New London, relating to the executing of his office, in which he was then imployed, as may more fully appear by sheriff's complaint sworn to in Council; and the persons being examined : It is resolved, that the said Lay and Chapman become bound, each of them, with sufficient sureties, in a recognizance of fifty pounds, to appear at the county court to be holden at N.

[Edward Lay provided bond - deleted] "Samuel Chapman as principal, and Samuel Clark and Robert Bates of Say Brook as sureties, acknowledged themselves joyntly and severally bound to the treasurer of the county of New London in the recognizance of fifty pound, that the said Samuel Chapman shall appear at the county court to be holden at New London on the first Tuesday of June next, to answer for the threatning words wherewith he is charged in the aforesaid complaint, and that he shall keep his Majesties peace, and be of good behaviour towards all his Majesties subjects, and especially to all his officers, in the mean time.
