Are there still Choppins in St Vincent now? I know of Choppin decendants from the female lines(who, of course don't bear the Choppin name) are still living there, but I did not know that anyone bearing the name was left on the island. I'd love to hear from them.
James Clement Choppin was the brother of my direct ancestor. I know who he is, how he fits into my line, and I can go back two more generations to his grandfather and grandmother(and further again for his grandmother's family).
I've been trying to find out more about this murder myself, I posted on facebook's Caribbean genealogy group seeking anything anyone might have come across. It's proving elusive and really frustrating. I don't *think* it can have been my direct ancestor Jonathan...pretty sure I can place him in British Guiana at that time, but I wonder if it wasn't Henry, who I know little about. If you make a couple more posts to bring your post count up, I can send you a PM, and I can share what I know about James Clement Choppin and his ancestors.
