Wakefield Simpson married a daughter of John Walker, shipowner and Quaker. By this marriage he became possessed of several ships, one being the "Free Love, " the vessel on which Capt. Cook served his apprenticeship. The Chapmans at one time belonged to the Society of Friends. They afterwards seceded it is said, for the following reason : — As shipowners they could not charter their ships for the transport of troops and stores, a lucrative business during the great war, unless they carried guns ...on board. The early Quakers were as much advocates of peace as they are now, and they resolved that the Chapmans must give up their guns or the "Society" ; they apparently chose the latter. * The Chapmans, Simpsons, and Walkers have often intermarried, and have been intimately connected personally and by marriage with some of the leading banking families of the country. Marriages occur with the Barclays, Gurneys, and Frys. Edward Henry Chapman was a director of the Bank of England. The last head of the old bank did not long survive his retirement into private life.
