* The BAILEY / CHAPMAN FAMILIES of OHIO and KENTUCKY*

Updated July 17, 2008


I am reseaching the Bailey / Nease Families from Greenup Kentucky / Portsmouth Ohio area.

BAILEY LINE
I have been able to trace the Bailey line back to two brothers, Joseph Bailey and Thomas Jefferson Loperwho were born approx 1822. Accoriding to my research their parents were killed (supposedly in an Indian raid, however I can find no documentation in Northern Kentucky of any Indian raids around this time). Thomas Jefferson (Bailey) Loper was adopted by the Loper family.

NEASE LINE
I have been able to trace the Nease line back to William Henry Nease who was born in 1823 in Kentucky.

I am also researching the Chapman Family from Hart & Jefferson County Kentucky in addition to the Jackson familes from Bullitt and Jefferson County Kentucky

CHAPMAN LINE

I have been able to trace my Chapman line back to John Chapman who was born in 1675 in Charles County MD. My Kentucky Chapmans are somewhat of a mystery. My Great Grandfather, Jams Harrison Chapman was born in Hart County Kentucky. Family lore has it that His Father or Grandfather was a Cherokee Indian that escaped from the Trial of Tears. His Father James B "Buck" Chapman was born in 1865 (according to Census records in Hart County Kentucky) and his Grand Father, John W Chapman was born in 1842 in Kentucky which do not seem to add up to the story, however several distant cousins, through James Harrison Chapman's siblings that have migrated to other states also share this story. So the search for facts and proof contiunes....

JACKSON LINE
I have been able to trace my Jackson line to Joseph Jackson who was born in Virigina. He had two sons: Issace Jackson b in 1797 and John Jackson b 1812 in Bullitt County Kentucky.
