EDWARD MORTIMER CHAPMAN (1862-1952) was a Connecticut pastor, academic, and author. He graduated from Yale Divinity School in 1890. Chapman was a descendant of Robert Chapman, one of the first settlers of Saybrook, Connecticut (c. 1635), and he was a chronicler of his family and the area€â„¢s history. He served as pastor of Old Lyme Church from 1906 to 1915. Chapman had a personal acquaintance with Woodrow Wilson, both before and during his U.S. presidency, through the church and time spent in Lyme, Connecticut. This lot and the other Chapman-related documents offered in this sale were part of a collection of his family papers.
