Honorably discharged August 30, 1930 from Mare Island, California
At the time of the 1930 Federal Census, he was shown as a Private in the USMC at Mare Island, California, as part of the Naval Prison Detachment. He was listed as age 21 and single, born in Nebraska, with both parents born in Missouri.
He is shown on the Murray-Snead-Barbee-Jones-Bishop-Mastroni-Raddeman-Kirtley-Workman tree on Ancestry.com as a son of Peter Chapman and Mercy Keeler.
Benjamin Dwight--in Volume II (p. 1005) of "The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong of Northampton, Mass."--described him as, "a farmer at Odessa, Mich (since 1851)...he is a supervisor of the town."
According the "History of Ionia and Montcalm Counties Michigan with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of their Prominent Men and Pioneers" by John S. Schenck, Philadelphia, D.W. Ensign & Co. 1881, the first framed house in Odessa was built by Emory Russell after 1842. Other early settlers in and near the Russell neighborhood were Nelson Merrill, Emanuel Cramer, S.B. CHAPMAN, A.A. Haskins, A.J. Clark, P.S. Lapham, David Crapo, John D. Hight, Reuben Haight, George E. Kelly, James N. Galloway, and Asa Houghton. For some years the settlements in Odessa concentrated about the Russell neighborhood. In the year 1852 there were but four settlers in the western half of the town. These four were Solomon Foght, S.B. CHAPMAN, Joseph Houseman and Eber Rush, located respectively on sections 21 and 33 (p. 315).
Jurors for 1847 included Samuel Chapman
Voters in Odessa in 1848 and 1849 included Samuel B. Chapman
Samuel B. Chapman was elected Supervisor of Odessa Township in 1852; Treasurer in 1855; and Supervisor in 1856-1857
LaVonne Bennett, a Ionia county genealogist, kindly provided the following information relating to the probate of the Chapman estate.
Ionia County Probate Court, Probated Will #611 (New Series), Samuel B. Chapman: The first item in the file was an unsigned 8-26-1925 letter to W. C. McCartney, giving him license to sell real estate of Samuel B. Chapman.
The seconnd item was an 8-21-1925 letter from Lake Odessa State Savings Bank to Judge of Probate, Ionia County, stating lots 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 in block 21 of village of Lake Odessa owned by Samuel B. Chapman were sold 4-3-1877.
Samuel B. Chapman died on Sunday, 1-31-1875, leaving no will. Widow was Mary A. Chapman, petitioner for appointment of adminstrator of estate. It was a $7,500 valued estate. Other heirs were: Emma June Chapman, daughter of deceased (dodc); Theressa T. Partello, dodc, of Barry County; Martin Chapman, son; Ella Chapman, dodc; Eva Chapman, dodc; Samuel D. (sic s/b L.), son. Residence of all but Theressa was Ionia County. [Note, Mary was still pregnant with his youngest son, Marcus, who was born in September 1875].
Publication in Lake Odessa Wave-Times 2-12-1875. James Leek, Administrator. Inventory of goods, properties, crops, $150 of household furniture. Among the list of creditors: Mary Ward, $3.65; Jas. J. Brown, $22.05; Martin Chapman, $35.00.
10-7-1871 document: Dower rights to Mary A. Chapman for east 3/4 of north east 1/4 of Section 33, and north east 1/4 of south east 1/4 of Section 32, all in Twp 5N, Range 7W.
In James Leak's 3-23-1875 petition to be named the administrator of Samuel's will, he states: ".....for the following among other reasons the widow is not able to work or take charge of her interest in said estate and the heirs are of them three minors and under Guardianship and those who are of age are not in circumstances to carry on to advantage of the whole of said real estate and further the estate has a large part of said land under a crop of wheat down by said deceased in his lifetime which will require the same care and attention necessary to protect crops on the whole of said lands."
11-14-1876: List of above children, with addition of Marchus B. Chapman. Paid to Mary A. Chapman: $550 for support of minor heirs under age 7 years, $145 distribution of shares, from Samuel Chapman estate, for Samuel Lee and Marcus B. Chapman, minor heirs.
11-15-1876: $150 to Mary A. Chapman. 11-28-1876: Martin Chapman petitioned to sell real estate; heirs Maria T. Partello, Emma Chapman, Ella L. Chapman, Martin Chapman, all residing in Odessa, Evelyn D. Chapman residing in Saranac, Ionia Co, MI; Marcus B. and Samuel L. Chapman, both in Odessa.
$3375 was paid by Abe Bywater for the Dower rights of Mary A. Chapman. $487.50 was paid to Martin L. Chapman."
It seems an assessment of real estate was made, with the recommendation that sale, and subsequent division of the property, would devalue it. The file was very hard to read and I couldn't decipher all that took place, regarding the real estate, but it did appear Martin forced the sale.
Oh, when I looked up Samuel B. Chapman's property in my plat book here, it turned out to be the whole west side of Lake Odessa's main street. I'm snail-mailing you copies showing location of his---and also B. Franklin Smith's---property. I also made copies of Ida and Mary's obituaries, which I'll send along, too.
I (LaVonne) don't know why the first 2 items dated 1925 were in this file, unless someone filed quit claim deeds on property that was once owned by Samuel B., or something technical like that. Maybe they were cleaning up Mary Ann's 1921 estate yet.

LaVonne Bennett found, at the Ionia County Courthouse, the death record of Samuel Lee Chapman: "CHAPMAN, Lee died 3-22-1903, married, age 30 years, in Odessa Twp, of mitrial insufficiency. He was born in MI, was a teacher, and his parents were Samuel B. Chapman, residence NY, and Mary WELCH (IOCOB270#5850)." LaVonne did not find a Lake Odessa newspaper obituary for him.
At the time of the 1900 census, Samuel was married and living with his wife Marion and infant son, Lee. They lived next door to his mother in Ionia County. Son Clare was born in 1903, less than a year before Samuel's death. His wife Marion remarried, and in 1910, she both sons, listed as Herbert Lee and Clare, were living with her second husband, John S. Caie. Marion and John had a newly born daughter.
In 1920, Herbert Lee and Clare were living with their maternal grandmother in nearby Eaton County, while their widowed stepfather was living with their three half-sisters in Detroit.
The paternal grandmother of Herbert and Clare was Mary Ann Welch Smith Chapman. Her probated Will #8880, Ionia County, MI, was filed 8-15-1921. Mary Ann Chapman's real estate was valued at $6,500; personal estate at $100. Administrator Marcus B. Chapman of Lake Odessa was also one of the heirs, along with: Elmer Smith, son, age 55 (or 56?), of Lake Odessa; W. B. Smith, 53, Grand Ledge; Clair Chapman, nephew, 19, Grand Ledge; Herbert Chapman, nephew, 21, of Montana [in another section of the papers, they were referred to as grandchildren]; and Marcus, 46, Lake Odessa.
