W. CARROLL CHAPMAN, physician, was born in Hartford, Ky., June 17, 1863,
and is a son of W. C. and Martha Ann (Collins) Chapman, native Kentuckians.
His grandfather, David Chapman, was the first male child born in Kentucky,
south of the Green River, and was born near the present town of Bowling
Green.  The house in which he was born, was of the pioneer type, and had
port-holes to aid the inmates in defending themselves against the Indians,
who attacked the house several times.  On one occasion the Indians kept
the cows out in the forest until one of the men, Jeff Chapman, went after
them, when he was fired on, the bullet striking his powder horn, thus
saving his life.  David Chapman died in 1884, at the age of ninety-five
years.  The Courier-Journal published an interesting sketch of him, headed
"One of Nature's Nobleman."  The subject of this sketch was well educated.
He studied medicine and graduated at the age of twenty years from the
College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, Md., and was appointed
resident physician of Maternity Hospital, in Baltimore, for a term of one
year.  He then came back to Kentucky at located at Cecilia, Hardin County,
where he remained for about a year and a half, when he came to Louisville,
and opened an office here, and has been in active practice ever since.
Dr. Chapman is a zealous member of the Baptist Church, and has been for
twelve years.  He has a brother, Byron Chapman, a merchant of LaFayette,
Ind., and a sister, wife of Mr. Wood English, of Cecilia, Ky.
