He moved to Gray, Maine in the 1780s and later New Portland, Maine before taking his whole family out to Sodus, NY. Given the names of his children he might be from the Newmarket, NH York family headed by Thomas York with brothers named Benjamin, John, Robert and Eliphalet, but there is no actual evidence tying him there. He might also come from one of the York families around the Portland area.

Birth*Hannah York was born say 1707. 
Marriage*She married Samuel Chapman, son of Samuel Chapman and Phebe Balch, circa 1726.1 
Nothing is known about Hannah aside from secondary sources that say she married Samuel Chapman of Hampton, Newmarket and Stratham and had several children beginning in about 1727. The History of Hampton by Joseph Dow only mentions that Samuel Chapman married a woman by the last name of York. If she actually exists she would most likely be a daughter of Benjamin York and Sarah Pinder who lived in Newmarket at that time and were the only York family having children around 1707 in that area. Much more research is necessary to determine her place in the genealogy.

On 2 Dec 1762 Samuel Chapman of Newmarket, cordwainer, sold for 2000 pounds old tenor to Walter Wiggin Jr. of Stratham 35 acres of land in Newmarket. His wife Hannah Chapman released her right of dower. John Bennet and Thomas Young (Justice of the Peace) were witnesses. Samuel signed and Hannah made her mark. [Rockingham Deeds, 69:504]

Her possible father Benjamin York Jr. did deed land to a John Chapman of Newmarket, also a cordwainer, in 1760. This may very well be a son of Samuel and Hannah. [Rockingham Deeds, 64:558-9] This same John Chapman, cordwainer, purchased land in land in Durham commonly called the Hook Land (now in Lee) from Ichabod Chesley of Durham on 8 Aug 1755. That land bordered land of Thomas York, who could be his uncle. [Rockingham Deeds, 49:507-9]

Other deeds of Samuel Chapman have been searched for any York connections and there are no named Yorks or other related families mentioned. The actual property descriptions have not been compared to property owned by Yorks, however. The deeds of all of the children of Samuel have not been checked however.

It is also noteworthy that one of Samuel and Hannah's sons was named Benjamin.
