ChapinHermon Chapin was associated with a number of other Chapins in the toolmaking industry of his time. He began as a part of Copeland-Chapin from 1826-1828, was the brother of Nathaniel Chapin and father to Edward M., George W. , and Philip E. Chapman who succeeded him as H Chapin & Sons in 1860. Out of this line sprung H. Chapin's Sons, H. Chapin's Son, and H. Chapin's Son & Co. Planes marked "Baltimore" were sold to his brother Philip (in Baltimore) but were probably not manufactured there. Pine Meadow and New Hartford were likely the same town with different, interchangeable names, not two separate locations. Chapin of Connecticut - History 1826-1851, Chapin In 1826, the Chapin firm was originally established by Hermon Chapin (1799 - 1866) at Pine Meadow, a district in the southern part of New Hartford, with Daniel Copeland. In 1828, Chapin purchased Copeland's interest, and established the Union Factory under his sole proprietorship, producing a complete line of wooden planes. In 1835, rules were added, whereby Delos H. Stephens learned his trade. In 1854 he established the D H Stephens & Co., continuing to furnish some rules to the Chapin firm. In 1861, he was succeeded by his son, Frank, as L C Stephens & Co.

In 1868, George sold his interest to Edward, who continued the firm as H Chapin's Son until his death in 1897. 1897-1901, H Chapin's Sons & Co. His sons (Hermon M and Frank) then formed a joint stock company with Rufus E Holmes of Winsted as President.
