James Chapman was born circa 1811 at Hunsdon, Hertfordshire.1 "About two miles north-east from Stanstead, in the same hundred (Braughin), stands the pleasant village of Hunsdon, in the parish of its name. From the church, and other positions in the neighbourhood, some beautiful views may be obtained, including the course of the Stort to join the Lea ... The parish [1839] contains about 600 inhabitants."2



He married Mary Ann (?), circa 1840.1

He was recorded as head of household in the 1851 census with Mary Ann (?) as his spouse at Much Hadham, Hertfordshire. Also living in the house were their children and two lodgers, likely empolyees on the farm.1 James Chapman was a farmer of 47 acres employing 22 labourers on 30 March 1851.1
