CHAPMAN, DUNLAP, RENDER:
My ancestor WILLIS CHAPMAN was married to ELIZABETH DUNLAP. They moved from South Carolina (?) to Todd County in the late 1790s and they had at least one son, SOLOMON CHAPMAN in Todd County. He was born on November 12, 1800. We think she died shortly thereafter because Willis married NANCY RENDER and moved to Ohio County in 1805 (or moved first and then married). I would appreciate any info somebody might have concerning the DUNLAP family in general or Elizabeth in particular.

I have no vital statistics on Ralph and am looking for ANY leads.

DROUBHAN, PETERS, STUART, WALLER:
The search for my Ggrandfather has led me to Todd County. I found a death record for Zachary Taylor WALLER d. 1915, in Todd County. I am not sure if this is the right Zach, until I send away for the death cert. I show Zach married to a Georgia DROUGHAN, there are two (known) children Eustis WALLER, and Edgar Stuart WALLER b1892 (my name sake). I know they lived in the Arlington Virginia area. where Edgar married Anna Louise PETERS, There were three children Mary, Judith and Edgar, Jr. I would like to add to what little I have. Any help with the WALLER family name or the DROUGHAN name would appreciated very much. I also suspect my middle name STUART is from one of my Great grandmother's maiden names as was the tradition in some families in that time period.
