Biographical history
Henry Chapman was born in 1820 in England.
He was a wealthy tea and wine importer. In 1864, the Government of the Province of Canada granted six islands in the Lake Memphremagog near the Bay of Magog, Quebec to his wife Isabella. The same year he built the Belmere estate, located south of Georgeville, Quebec. Upon her death in 1875, Isabella bequeathed to her husband all her possessions. Chapman moved to Nice, France and after his death, the islands were sold.
In 1847, he married Isabella Shaw (abt 1820-1875). He died on February 24, 1896, in Wooburn, Buckinghamshire, England.
