February 2006 - Note from Joan "Kintner" - William Chapin's wife was not Susan Griswold.  She was MINERVA  E. HOAGLAND, b. June 1835, daughter of Joseph Benjamin & Susannah Hoagland of LeRoy Twp., Bradford Co., PA.  (Minerva's mother Susannah was b. 21 Sept. 1814, d. 21 Feb. 1909.  Her maiden name was said to be Henderson, but I can't vouch for that.)  Proof of William Chapin's wife Minerva is in the will of her brother Manning Hoagland in Bradford Co. Will Book #5, p.73, and the family signing off land in Bradford Co. Deed Book #132, p.193.  Also, William Chapin's wife was always Minerva on censuses.  JOSEPH BENJAMIN HOAGLAND (twin of Benjamin Joseph) was born 8 Sept. 1811 in Shunk (now in Fox Twp.), Sullivan Co., PA, and died 31 July 1850, buried in East Canton Cem., Bradford Co.  He was son of Jonathan & Rachel (Patterson) Hoagland of Shunk, Fox Twp., Sullivan Co., and grandson of Joseph & Hannah (Carpenter) Hoagland of the same place.  The history and genealogy of Joseph Hoagland, of New Jersey and a pioneer of Sullivan Co., PA, is on Sullivan County's website.
