The Chapmans were early day settlers in the Farmer Community. Later Mr. Chapman started a store at Cone. The Chapmans were members of the Baptist Church and took great interest in both schools and church. Mr. Chapman was the first postmaster at Cone, he and Mr. Cone taking it time about to bring the mail from Emma to Cone.
Their daughters, May and Mattie, were the first twins born in Crosby County that we have any record of. Roy and Murphy Chapman were the sons. Murphy married the daughter of Judge and Mrs. J.W. Howard of Floydada.
They have lived in the Robertson Community and reared their children there. Murphy and his wife have been unselfish in helping the community in everything that tends to elevate, and Crosby County takes pride in such citizens.
Cordie, the oldest of the girls, married John Stagner. They lived in the county for years but moved farther west. So the record of this family leaves a mark for good citizenship on the history of Crosby County.
