Hi.I am also trying to find out information on the Basil/Chapman relationship.My fiance, Scott Chapman is the grandson of Mayme DeRaye Rasner-Chapman, who is the daughter of Ida Basil and the granddaughter of Rhoda Jane and John J. Basil of MOnroe County.From what I have heard, John Basil was a free man of color, and depending of that era, perhaps he was mulatto, quadroon, or maybe even Creole, because I hear that the name Basil is translation of Batiste, which is French.True, the Basils' are probably all dark, because Scott has jet-black hair and stays tan year round. His mother (Patricia Chapman) always told him it was 'Indian Blood'. If anyone has any information on John J. BAsil, please email me.
John Basil. dob- 10/11/1821(he married Rhoda Jane Chapman)
Mother-Lizzie Scott
Father-Sam Basil
