Looking to solidify this family group. Appreciate all assistance.

Likely to need sorting between two wives.

And if they are all correct, can we get them MP'd and locked?
Thank you in advance.

Family is listed here, please add to profiles if not already there.

John married Nancy Ann Whitehead in 1757 and fathered eight children, all born in Amelia County.

They were:

John "Jack" Chapman, Sr
James Chapman
Stephen Chapman
Benjamin Chapman
Nancy Ann Chapman
Sarah "Sally" Chapman
William Chapman
Jane Chapman

Nancy Ann (Whitehead) Chapman died in 1798 in Amelia County about the age of 62.

After Nancy died in 1798 John remarried to Oney League on December 18, 1799 and fathered one more son, Jonathan Chapman.

You should be able to “prune” / move based on it. I’m cleaning up “above.”

Note: Sarah Cahoon is also reported to have married a different Samuel Cahoon, (b. ca. 1700, m. ABT 1732, in Caroline Co, VA, d. 1773, Amelia Co, VA.)[14][15].

Children named in this Samuel Chapman's will include:

John, b. 1737; Tabitha, b. ABT 1739; Delpha, b. ABT 1740, Caroline Co, VA, m. Green; Unity, b. ABT 1743, Caroline Co, VA, m. William Loving; Anne, b. ABT 1745, Caroline Co, VA, m. Portwood; Mary, b. ABT 1748, Caroline Co, VA, m. Campbell.

[Our gal Sarah Cahoon really got around!]

In other words, Sarah Cahoon is not the mother of the Amelia County VA family.
