Biography:

Chapin, Pelatiah (1746-1837: S&W)

A Baptist minister who served parishes in Vermont and Massachusetts. In 1794 a title-page identifies him as "A.M. in Hopkinton [MA]" but his next work, in 1795, was published in Windsor VT, and most references link him to that place specifically. He appears to have been born in Windsor VT to Elijah Chapin and Thankful (Billings) Chapin; to have married in Springfield MA in 1776; and to have died in New Hampshire.
