1840 US Census for Wm Chapman Household

Spartanburg County, South Carolina

In the household:
1 male 15-20
1 male 60-70
1 female 20-30
2 male slaves under 10
2 male slaves 10-23
1 female slave 10-23
2 female slaves 24-35

There is no female between 50-70, meaning that William's first wife likely died before the census was taken. By 1850, William was married to his second wife, Elizabeth.
