James Chapman (1810-1856) was born on 1 April 1810 in Sydney. He was the sixth and last child of emancipated convicts William Chapman (ca. 1765-1810) and Ann Mash or Marsh (ca. 1769-1823)
Chapman opened a butchery in the early 1830s, and described himself as a shipwright on his marriage certificate in 1831. He was declared insolvent in 1846 but by 1851 was in business again as a shipping agent and family butcher on George Street north.
