Following up on my previous message: There's abundant evidence that the Samuel Chapman who was commissioned captain of the Tolland, Connecticut, trainband in 1735 (and died in the Louisburgh Expedition to Canada in 1746/7) was a different man, born in Windsor, Conn., in 1695/6, son of Simon Chapman.

As per my previous message, Capt. Samuel3 Chapman (b. Saybrook 12 Sept. 1672) was living in Saybrook's west parish (now the town of Westbrook) when on 29 June 1726 he and his wife, Margaret (Griswold), were among the first fourteen members of the church there. It appears that he died, almost certainly in Saybrook, before 6 November 1738, when his son Aaron Chapman of Saybrook made his will (proved 20 March 1738/9), leaving his mother, "Mrs. Margret Chapman," an annuity ("four pounds pr annum untill She have received forty pounds of my Estate if She live So long as to receive it in Such annual payments abovesd") and naming his brother Jedediah executor; there is no mention of his father (Guilford District Probate, 3:342-43). Had Capt. Samuel been alive, it's unlikely that Aaron would have provided for his mother (alone, at least) and likely that he would have named his father executor.
