Simeon Chapin (another of my 5th great-grandfathers and a great-great-grandson of Deacon Samuel Chapin) was born on August 20, 1739, in Chicopee, Massachusetts. He married Lucy Doolittle in 1765.
The DAR Genealogical Research Database indicates that Simeon (DAR Ancestor# A020811) served as a captain under Captain (Ephraim) Chapin, whom I wrote about last month.
