I was certain that you were also a distant cousin to Johnny Appleseed. ;)
There is a possibility. John Chapman wandered around in Indiana and Kentucky where a lot of my ancestors hung out. It is entirely possible is a cousin. I don't recall any Chapman's in our family though, but who knows where all of my paternal ancestors spent the night with farmers' daughters? And there were plenty of my ancestors who were dotty enough to go around with a pot on their heads. . .
I am related to some other personages in American history, such as Christopher "Kit" Carson, Daniel Boone, and Alexander Graham Bell.
