Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Volume 1. Reprinted 1968. Butler County. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Page 435. ALEXANDER CHAPMAN was a native of Pennsylvania, but began his ministry in Kentucky. His home was in Butler county; his ministrations extended to many of the counties around. He was a very popular and effective preacher, a natural orator, with a fine personal appearance, and the dignity and bearing of a gentleman. No man of his time was more useful in that whole region. He died in 1824. Chapman = PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/butler/chapman.a.txt
