Welcome to the

While we have this file under the census section it is not a census as such - especially a Federal Census. It has been called a "Colonial Census" by some folks but that is not correct. It is a collection of information from a variety of pre-1790 records.
A similar list, in state and county sequence, was published in CFA Quarterly #16, Winter 1999, p. 6.
The data was originally collected by Accelerated Indexing Services, Inc. The Chapman Association extracted the basic Chapman information from Automated Archives, Inc. CD#136 "Colonial America - Pre-1790 Census Index, Tax Lists" @1994 and they obtained the data from MicroQuix. Tests proved that the original collection had an error rate of about 19% in the worst case situation. Automated Archives upgraded the data, such that the error rate now is thought to be about 10%. By nature the data will have duplicate records of the same subject, perhaps from different sources.
The "source codes" appeared on very few Chapmans, and those that did were not all that descriptive. Therefore to make for better viewing on the screen they were omitted in this display. If you need one then let us know and we will tell you what source, if any, was listed.
When they were listed the source codes, with out further description, were: PT Petitioners List, RS Residency List, TX Tax Record, CT Continental Census, FO Fidelity Oath, ST State Record, RR Rent Roll.
We "know" many of these Chapmans but so as not to delay posting the list we have not included our knowledge of all the persons listed. In the beginning there is one example and that is the first record - Abraham. When we have added our "knowledge" to the file you will see an entry in the REF column and a link to our description. We have the same description in our off line database.
WE COVET YOUR HELP!!! You will "know" some of these folks that we don't know. Please get with us and share your information. Tell us where you got the information, please, we want to show our sources. Just refer to the number in the left column and send us an e-mail. We'll get back to you.
Thanks for working with us on these Chapman ancestors!
