Notes |
- R.D.Chapman in 1927 letter to D.A.R. said McNeil served in the Spanish American war as 1st Lt. in Co. B 2nd Texas Regiment. In 1898 the Stone Fort Rifles, an honorary military group in Nacogdoches, converted itself to Company B of the 2nd Texas Regiment, Infantry, and went off to the Spanish-American War. The Nacogdoches boys came back to Dallas November 1, 1898, and were mustered out about one month later. The military personnel of Company B, as reported in a Daily Sentinel issue for 1928, included McNeil Chapman, First Lieutenant and George S. King, Quartermaster Sergeant. Shortly after they returned, June 1, 1899, George S. King married McNeil Chapman's sister Lollie Dee Chapman. It is possible that George King was introduced to his future wife by her brother and George's fellow member of the Stone Fort Rifles
