John Chapman was nicknamed Johnny Appleseed because he had a strong desire to plant apple trees in the valley and fields. He gave people sacks of apple seeds and he himself loved to plant many of the beautiful trees. Therefore he earned the nickname of Johnny Appleseed.

When was a monument erected for John Johnny Appleseed Chapman?

A number of monuments have been erected for Johnny Appleseed. One monument, called the Copus Monument added Johnny Appleseed's name because of the insistence of a women who knew him as a child. The Johnny Appleseed Museum is in Urbana, Ohio. Ask them! I am Anna Louise Rowlands Frye. My grandmother was a Chapman. There were Chapmans in Dexter City, Ohio just North of Marietta. Relatives, over the years have told me I am the great, great, great niece of Johnny Appleseed. Nothing I have ever read about Johnny even mentions Dexter City but there is a beautifull monument of him at that location. I was born in Dexter City.


Did Abraham Lincoln meet Jonny Appleseed?

While it is physically possible that Abraham Lincoln could have met John Chapman (AKA "Johnny Appleseed") [note the corrected spelling of "Johnny"], since they were both living between the years 1809 (Lincoln's birth when Chapman was 35 years old) and 1845 (Chapman's death, 2 years before Lincoln took office in the House of Representatives and 16 years before he took office as President), there is no known documentation or proof that the two men met. It is more likely that Chapman's father might have met George Washington, since the senior Chapman served as an Officer attached to General Washington's forces in New York City, but there is also no documentation or proof that they ever met.


How old was Johnny Appleseed when he died?
