| | John Chapman |
 | | This is not written to belittle or detract from John Chapman's brilliant and extensive life of service, but to explain facts from the mass of material available....Edward Chapman of Yorkshire, England, arrived in Boston, Mass in 1639. |
 | | Their second child, John Chapman, later to be known as Johnny Appleseed, was born September 26, 1774, at Leominster, Mass. |
 | | It is said that Captain Chapman gave all of his property at Leominster to the cause of the colonies, but it would seem more logical to me for it to have been sold to support the children.....Young John, even in childhood, loved nature and spent much time along the streams and in the woods. |
