I have been trying to prove my line from Capt. Abraham Chaplin[see below]. He was a Capt. in Rev. War.....
Captain Abraham Chaplin - One of Harrod's Men
from The Harrodsburg Herald, Thur., Jul. 13, 1972, Mercer Co., KY
Abraham Chaplin was one of the Harrod Company of 1774, who came to what is now Harrodsburg(Ky) and helped to map out the town. While exploring the surrounding country from the station camp, Chaplin discovered a fork of Salt River which now bears his name - Chaplin Fork.
Abraham was descended from a respectable family who came from England to Virginia. His father was said to have been William Chaplin and his mother, Ann Foreman. There is no proof, however, of this conjectured parentage. We do have proof that Abraham Chaplin was born on the 27th day of December in 1754, in then Frederick County, now Jefferson County, Virginia. The Chaplin home farm was on the banks of the Potomac River. It was here his father died and the farm later was occupied by some of his grandchildren. When his father died, five year-old Abraham was left only about sixty pounds. His father had land sufficient for only some of his children.
