Grafton Tyler Brown and Chaplin Family
From Calobe Jackson, Jr., March 3, 2006
George, check this link. Grafton Brown may have been influenced by John G. Chaplin of Huntingdon. I know that his brother, Cassius Brown, learned the barbering trade in Huntingdon before 1860. Grafton may have been with him.

Perhaps the descendents of Chaplin may have some input. I also think one
of Jane Chester's daughters married a minister that resided in
Huntingdon.
