The history of the name “Chapman” leads to England and to a foreign language. The Anglo-Saxons used the word, “ceapman,” of which the first syllable, “ceap,” is of French derivation, meaning “trade.” Thus the term “ceapman” and its subsequent use as “Chapman” meant a dealer, a merchant, one who buys and sells.‘ True to their name, the earliest an cestors of the Chapmans engaged in mercantile pursuits. Their name is one of the oldest of the English surnames. In Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland early bearers of the name achieved distinction. One of the Elizabethan poets was George Chap man, the translator of Homer. Ruby Haskins Ellis found that during the early part of the seventeenth century a score or more of the Chapman family came to America and became “founders” of the name in this country. It appears that most of those who settled in New England came from Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, where the family was seated for a long period. Among the first Chap mans to migrate were Ralph, Robert, and Edward. Robert came to Boston in 1635, and subsequently removed to Say brook, Connecticut. He served in the Pequot and King Philip’s wars, was a deputy of the General Court, town clerk and was the governor’s assistant a half-dozen years.
