Born in Newtown, Connecticut, Chapman studied at the Litchfield Law School, where his father, Asa Chapman, had also studied. He was admitted to the bar in 1820 and commenced practice in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1827. He moved to Hartford in 1832 and became editor of the New England Review.[1][2]

A supporter of Andrew Jackson's successful campaign for President in 1827–28, Chapman subsequently became a Conservative and later a Whig.[1] In 1848 he ran unsuccessfully for election to the Thirty-first Congress. He was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-second Congress (March 4, 1851 – March 3, 1853).[2]
He was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Connecticut as a Temperance candidate in 1854.[2]
Chapman was again elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1862 and 1864, as a Democrat.[2]
Chapman was married to Sarah Tomlinson. He died in Hartford, Connecticut, on August 7, 1869, and was interred in Cedar Hill Cemetery.[1][3]
His son Charles R. Chapman served as mayor of Hartford and in both houses of the Connecticut legislature.[4]
