No Nancy I have not seen a will of Enoch "Tobe" Chapman do you know where I can find it? I have a distant cousin who is much older and she said that Joseph had a brother called Phil and one called Cy and someone named Tobe and this is why I am almost certain that this is my Joseph. Also I have found on ancestry.com where John Chapman married to Elizabeth Eichleberger is the father of Enoch "Tobe" Chapman and the father of John Chapman is Enoch. This may explain why the 1850 census of Pickens County says Enoch "Tobe' Chapman Jr. This is the census from 1850 Picken's County SC
Enoch Chapman, Jr. age 35 farming
Polly Chapman 26
Phillip Chapman 11
Rrebeca Chapman 9
Joseph Chapman 7
Cyras Chapman 4
Jackson Chapman 1
All listsed as born in SC
I have also found out that for some reason people named Mary Ann are called Polly, I also ran across this with my husbands family. Also this is the rest of the Hugh Porter's desendents. This is the web site where this is located :
