Biographical History
George Aaron Chapin was born in Boston on January 18, 1824, the son of Aaron and Lucy (White) Chapin. Unable to complete college coursework because of financial constraints, he entered his uncle's Boston hardware firm--Loring, Fiske and Company--and,started his own business some time later. Chapin married (June 2, 1846) Sarah Homans Davis, the daughter of Boston residents Gilman and Sarah Homans (Leeds) Davis. Their four children were Sarah Davis (1847-1947), George Gilman (1849-1873), Walter Leeds (1863-1947), and Blanche Ingersoll (1865-1931).
The family moved to St. Paul in June, 1868 and Chapin joined the hardware firm of C.D. Strong and Company, later Strong, Hackett and Chapin. Chapin died on August 20, 1878, and Sarah on September 10, 1906.
