  Marriage Notes:

The difference in their ages is hard to imagine but at least one researcher reports that George Washington Wacaster was born in 1803 which put him at 63 years old and about 40 years older than Sarah Chapman when they were married. She may have been his 4th wife and he had multiple children with his other wives. He apparently fathered children until he was 82 years old and died at the age of 83 just one year after his last child was born. His marriages are reported as follows:

m. about 1825, wife's name unknown but believed to be Adeline Freeman, at least 2 sons
m. about 1829, Mary Williams, b. abt. 1816, d. abt 1850, 9 children
m. 08-17-1859, Francis Schnider, divorced, children unknown
m. 01-22-1866, Sarah Chapman, 9 children
