CHAPTER HISTORY

In August of 1909 five ladies met at the home of Mrs. P. T. Chapman in Vienna, Johnson County, Illinois, to form a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The chapter was organized on November 3, 1909. Daniel Chapman, for whom the chapter was named, was an ancestor of Mrs. Chapman's husband and believed (in 1909) to be the only Revolutionary Veteran buried in Johnson County, Illinois. Mr. Chapman had volunteered for service from his home in Westchester County, New York. Mr. Chapman with his family including at least eleven children, arrived in southern Illinois around 1817 and remained until his death on February 8, 1841. Mrs. P. T. Chapman served as regent of the chapter from 1909 to 1948.
