Probably the Thomas Chaplin  of Enderby who was sheriff of Lincs in 1799. Thomas Chaplin Esq = St Geo Han Sq 31.3.1788 Elizabeth only dau of late Godfrey Webster, Baronet. He died in 1780 and was succeeded by her brother Godfrey who was Whig MP for Seaford 1786-90 (see my entry for Oldfield, Thomas Hinton Burley). The will PCC 1804 of Thomas Chaplin of Riseholme, Lincs mentioned his wife Elizabeth and his mother-in-law Lady Webster, and estates at Blankney but not Enderby. Mavis Enderby is some way east of Lincoln, while Riseholme, Blankney and Marnham (John Cartwright's seat) were all nearer Lincoln
