History
Thomas Shaw Chapman was born in Richmond County on 10 January 1824 to Thomas Chapman and Jane Armstrong. He studied at Bishop's College, in Lennoxville, and was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1848. Following his ordination, Rev. Chapman ministered around Quebec as a travelling missionary for a year and spent part of this time at Grosse Isle during a cholera outbreak. In 1850, he was appointed parishes in Dusdwell and South Ham, Westbury, Stoke, Wotton, Weedon and part of Wolfestown. He married Jane Green Early, a widow and his cousin, on 2 June 1851. Together, the couple had five children: Edward F., Henry E., Mary, Nellie, and Carrie. Rev. Chapman passed away 29 February 1912 and is buried at the Saint Paul Anglican cemetery in Marbleton.
