Chipman was born in Salisbury in the Connecticut Colony to Samuel and Hannah Austin Chipman. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1788.
He studied law and was admitted to the bar. He began the practice of law in Rutland, Vermont, and practiced law there from 1790 until 1794. Chipman was a member of the state constitutional conventions in 1793, 1814, 1836, 1843, and 1850. He moved to Middlebury, Vermont, in 1794. Among the law students who became attorneys after studying in Chipman's office was Charles Davis, who later served on the Vermont Supreme Court.
Chipman served as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1798 to 1808, 1812 to 1814, 1818 and 1821.
