I found this entry about Joseph's mother, Margaret Caroline Jay Chapman and her having raised Joseph's children:
THE STONEWALL WEEKLY NEWS
March 9, 1911
" Mrs. Caroline [Jay] Chapman died at the home of her son John Chapman on Sunday morning early, March 5.....
........Her history has been a most remarkable one. When the wife of her son Joseph died leaving five orphan children, she took them into her house and cared for
them until maturity. When Joseph died leaving four more orphans, she and her husband went to Indianapolis, picked up the little waifs, brought them home and cared for them until they took their flight into the great wide world to
fight the battle of life alone........
