Re: chappell family tree

mlh40 — 2009-11-15 18:49:43Z

Did any of your Chappell research lines migrate to/through Missouri? I am in search of information on STITH CHAPPELL, who was living with a JAS. Y. WARREN family in the 1850 New Madrid Co., Mo. Census. Whether this was a family were Stith's father had died and his mother remarried to a Warren, I don't know. I do know that Stith married America A. Shy abt. 1859/1860 and was living in New Madrid Co. in the 1860s. Any help with other information on Stith Chappell or other Chappell lines of New Madrid Co., Mo. would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!!

Here is information regarding early CHAPPELLs in America as well. You can see it here: http://www.ctgenweb.org/county/cowindham/records/biographies...

HERBERT RALPH CHAPPELL

BIOGRAPHY

AS RECORDED IN: COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF TOLLAND AND WINDHAM COUNTIES CONNECTICUT.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF PROMINENT AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS AND OF MANY OF THE EARLY SETTLED FAMILIES.

PUBLISHER: J.H.BEERS & CO., CHICAGO; 1903 P. 611

HERBERT RALPH CHAPPELL, a popular and widely known business man of Willimantic, whose qualities, unswerving integrity and genial manners have made him troops of friends in the community in which his useful life is passing, was, as the second mayor of Willimantic, identified with the early political history of the city, and his influence has always been felt in local affairs. Mr. Chappell is a contractor in painting, and a dealer in paints and supplies, and is the leading man in his line in Windham county, where his name is familiar as that of a dealer in good and honest goods, and a contractor of work upon whose word dependence may be placed.

John Chappell, the American ancestor of the Willimantic Chappells, as well as numerous other branches of the family scattered all over the United States, landed in Boston in 1634.

Thomas Chappell, the great-grandfather of Herbert Ralph, was a weaver by occupation, and lived at North Kingston, R.I. He served as a soldier in the War of the Revolution.

Benjamin Chappell, son of Thomas, was the first of this branch of the family to settle in Windham county, Conn. He came to Windham, Conn., when a boy, and later, settled here permanently. In youth he worked as a stone mason, but began life in Windham as a farmer, and he was known as one of the most successful farmers of his day, becoming very prosperous. At South Kingston, R.I., he was married to Susan Morey, by whom he became the father of a numerous offspring. He died at a ripe old age, as did his wife, both of them being over seventy-three years of age when they passed away. They were associated with the Baptist Church, and were buried in the Windham Center Cemetery. Mr. Chappell was one of the most highly respected citizens of his day, and exerted a strong influence for good. The children of this excellent couple were as follows: (1) Ralph, was born July 9, 1823; (2) Levi, born in 1825, died young; (3) Susan, born in 1827, married Edward
Grovenor, and moved to Clarendon, Ohio, where they had two sons; (4) Eliza, twin to Susan, died young; (5) Benjamin, born in 1831, went to Dover, Ohio, his present home, where he has had a family of five children; (6) Nancy, born June 15, 1833, married Charles Kenyon, and died in Willimantic, the mother of three sons; (7) Charles, born June 16, 1835, was at one time a farmer, but later became connected with the Willimantic Linen Company, and the only survivor of his three children is Mrs. Everett Ladd, of South Park street, in Willimantic; (8) Charlotte, a twin to Charles, married, first, Orrin Kenyon (to whom she bore two girls), second, William Tew, and third, O.A. Chappell, of Lebanon, Conn., and she died in 1901; (9) Dorcas, born in 1837, was the first wife of O.A. Chappell, and the mother of a large family of children; and (10) Lydia, born in 1841, married Milton Young, of Willimantic, who removed to Forestville, Conn., where he died. (Their two
sons, Alvin and Herbert, compose the firm of Young Brothers, engaged in manufacturing novelties at Forestville).

Ralph Chappell was born and reared in Old Windham, and his education was completed in Bacon Academy, at Colchester. His trade of joiner was learned under the instruction of Col. Fitch, of Mansfield, known in that day as one of the best workmen in the eastern part of the State. For some years after he had finished his trade Mr. Chappell was in the employ of Sweet & Carpenter, very extensive contractors and builders, of Providence, and while in that city he was married to Maria Horton, born March 10, 1815, at Rehoboth, Mass., a daughter of Eliphalet Horton. Mr. and Mrs. Chappell spent some years in Providence, where he was engaged in jobbing and building for a time, in company with his cousin, William Guile. About 1852 Mr. Chappell removed his family to South Windham, where his last days were spent. In Willimantic for a number of years he was a member of the firm Chappell & Potter, builders and contractors, who for years did the greater part of the building of Windham county. For some time before his death Mr. Chappell was retired from active business, a paralytic stroke having incapacitated him for active work of any kind. His death occurred in April, 1883, at South Windham, where he was buried. His widow is still living, and
after making her home for some years on the old homestead in Windham, is now a member of the family of her only daughter, at Seekonk, Mass. Their children were as follows: (1) Herbert Ralph was born Dec. 27, 1850, at No. 58 John street, Providence, R.I.; (2) Alice died when three years old; and (3) Ann Frances, born July 27, 1856, is now Mrs. Francis B. West, of Seekonk, Mass., and the mother of two children, Helen B. and Mary.

Herbert Ralph Chappell was reared in Windham, to which place his parents came when he was but a child of eighteen months. His education was principally obtained in the Pine Grove Seminary at Windham, when that noted school was under the charge of Dr. J.C. Fitch, and at the Natchaug high school, when D.P. Corbin was principal. From a boy he had assisted his father at carpenter work, but that was distasteful to him, and as soon as he was old enough to act for himself he became an employe in the painting department of Chappell & Potter, extensive contractors. When Mr. Potter took sole charge, Mr. Chappell remained with him as a foreman and thoroughly mastered every detail of the work, so that when he began for himself, April 8, 1888, he was well prepared to take care of anything that might come to him. Business naturally sought one so thoroughly educated in its every part, and Mr. Chappell has greatly prospered in the last ten years.

Herbert Ralph Chappell and Miss Isabella Webster were married Jan. 15, 1876, in Willimantic. Mrs. Chappell is a native of Lee, Mass., where she was born April 27, 1857, a daughter of Charles and Emily H. (Huyck) Webster, and a descendant of Gov. John Webster, who was governor of Massachusetts in 1656. Charles Webster was born Aug. 3, 1831, in Becket, Mass., and Emily H. Huyck in Bethlehem, in 1838. David Webster, father of Charles, was born Sept. 22, 1796, in Florida, Mass., and his wife was Uduxia Wright. Jacob Webster, the father of David, was born July 23, 1772, and his wife was Lavina Heminway. Jacob Webster, Sr., the father of Jacob, was born Feb. 2, 1748, and served
in the Revolutionary army, and died in 1776; his wife, Abigail, married a second time, hence the name does not appear on the roll of Revolutionary pensioners. Stephen Webster, father of Jacob, Sr., was born June 11, 1728, was also a Revolutionary soldier, and he died in 1818; his wife was Rebeckah.

Herbert R. Chappell has always been a Republican, and cast his first presidential vote for Gen. U.S. Grant in 1872. When Willimantic was a
borough, he served several terms as a burgess, and in 1895 was elected mayor of the new city of Willimantic. Mr. Chappell is a Mason of high degree, belonging to various Masonic organizations, including Eastern Star Lodge, No. 44, A.F & A.M.; Trinity Chapter, No.9, R.A.M., of which he is Past High Priest; and St. John's Commandery, No. 11, K.T. Mr. and Mrs. Chappell are members of the Congregational Church, where he has served as chairman of the Society's committee for several years. Mrs. Chappell is a member and treasurer of Anne Wood Elderkin Chapter, D.A.R., and is also chairman of the Ladies' Society, auxiliary to the First Congregational Church. Mr. Chappell
is vice-president of the Willimantic Building and Loan Association, and was one of the incorporators of the Willimantic Savings Institute. For thirteen years he was a member of the Conn. National Guard, of which time for nine years he was captain of Company E, of the Third Regiment. He was one of the organizers of the Willimantic Machine Co., and also of the Windham Silk Co., of Willimantic. Mr. Chappell is a man of fine social qualities, which retain the friendships his business ability and evident integrity command. He is known as a liberal, public-spirited and progressive citizen, ready to take hold of any measure that looks to the advance of the city.

The way we as Chappell's pronounce Chappell is as different as the many spellings I have run across. Even here in North Carolina you find a few Shappell's. I beleive the difference in the way it is said could of came about by regional dialect or someone way back when decided Sh sound more important than Ch, kind of the same way people pronounce schedule.

Re: ? Chappell of Essex Co Va

cainfarm — 2009-09-07 22:30:59Z

Amos Chappell was married to Mary Eliza Garde on May 29, 1890 in the Old St. Georges Church located in Staleybridge, Lancashire, England. He came over to America to visit an uncle and went back to England. I am not sure if this was before or after he married. They had 4 children: Benjamin Kenworthy (b. 1891, d. 1963), Sarah Ann (b. 1893, d. 1963), Amy Margaret Chappell (b. 1896, d. 1985) and Bessie Eliza Chappell (b. 1898, d. 1899). They left England in June 1899. Bessie died on the voyage over. They went to live with the uncle in Rappahannock District, Essex, VA. Amos died on April 8, 1901 at the age of 36. Mary Eliza married Charles Lumpkin on June 4, 1902. They had no children. In 1910 they resided in Richmond, Marshal Ward, Richmond, VA. He died in May 1913. She then went to live with her daughter, Amy, and her husband, Jesse Hubbard Wright, in South Bend, Indiana. She visited her siblings who had come over from England and moved to the Rhode Island area. She died on May 21, 1941 in South Bend, Indiana where she is buried.

Amos's birth certificate does not show a father, only his mother, Ann Chappell. Her residence is listed at the time in the household of her father Thomas Chappell.

Hope this helps.

Ok I did think this might be right His name is Amos Chappell but i have check all the census records in Va and they dont seem to be there anymore.

I have checked the LDS site and the Essex co. website.

You might try getting on the Essex co. Va board and asking for someone on there for Death records for Amos or Mary or one of their kids. Or even marriages for them. it would list the first name of the bride.
Wish I could help more.

Hi Scott,

I have documentation of my Chappells back to Samuel Chappell b Mar 17, 1755 in New London, Conn and died Mar 8, 1817 in Monterey, Berkshire co., MA. He married Dorothy Laraby Aug 26 1775. There children were: Edgecomb, Samuel, Enos, Thomas, Lucinda, Esther, Turner, Electa, Eratus, Guy and Ansel. I am a descendent of Enos.

I believe my Samuel was a descendent of Alexander Chappell b abt. 1557 in England. The line would be:
Alexander b. abt. 1557 Bath Abbey, England
Alexander b. 1583 Barnstable, England, d. 1621 in Barnstable, England
George b. Apr 28, 1616, New London, Conn.. d. June 1682 New London, Conn
George b. Mar 17, 1652/53, Hartford, Conn, d. Oct 1712 in New London, Conn
George b. 1692
George b. Dec 3, 1722, New London, Conn
My Samuel b., Mar 17, 1755, New London, Conn

Let me know if you think our Chappells are connected. I would be glad to share my info with you.

Re: How do you pronounce "Chappell"?

scottyice — 2009-07-27 20:16:49Z

Great question. I was hindered by all of my Chappell ancestors being gone before I started researching, and I always assumed it was pronounced "CH" like "chip", but not only did some people out here tell me it was "SH", but that also said it had a long A sound like "SHAPE". I'm guessing there are a few different pronunciations being used.

Re: How do you pronounce "Chappell"?

scottyice — 2009-08-23 19:19:12Z

Hi Patricia,

Well, I trace back to a Penelope Chapel/Chappell (1818-1887) who eventually came to Michigan, was either born in New York or Ontario. She was the daughter of Samuel Chapel/Chappell who we believe was born in 1794 in New York and came to Ontario and then later into Michigan. Some info suggests that he was the half-brother of Guerdon Chapell (who married Rachel Landon)...they also settled in Michigan after coming from New York. It seems who Samuel and Guerdon's parents were continues to remail a mystery. I still hoping to run into a connection with other Chappell's that came from NY into Michigan.

Chappell Family - Seattle Now but Where....

JanaKeeler — 2009-08-20 02:04:50Z

Hi All:

I'm researching my ex-husband's family for our children and grandchildren--hitting brick walls. If anyone claims kinship would be most appreciative. They are African American but one census I have listed them as Mulattos.

Jacques b (or Jack) Chappell: born 17 August 1919 in Wisconsin (we think)
Married: Lillian Iyall: b: 23 January 1923 in White Swan, Washington state (Cowlitz/Yakima tribes). Don't have marriage date but around 1947-48.
Father: Samuel Custer Chappell: b: 1881 in Tennesee (don't know death)
Mother: Ida B Perkins: b: 12 May 1994 in Vernon County, Wisconsin d: 16 April 1973 in Seattle Washington.

Siblings:
Custer Chappell b: around 1911
Arlie Chappell b: 29 July 1913; died May 1980 in Seattle
Paul Benedict Chappell b: 12 July 1917 in Seattle

I think Jacques parents moved out to Seattle shortly before Paul's birth and they've lived there ever since.

Thanks!

Re: James Chappell

on the 1920 census for Fairfield co. SC
Caldwell Chappell age 36 sc
wifes names looks like
Alberta age 28 sc
James age 9 sc
Caldwell age 6
Lettie M. age 5

the I found this
Caldwell Jr. age 23 d. Jul 10 1936 Highway work murdered found on side of road. Parents Caldwell and B??ther harrison there is a death record but its hard to read her first name.
However in 1910 there looks to be a Sam Harrison with a daughter name Birda who is the right age for the one on the 1920 census and a Chapel is living next door the right age to be Caldwell Chappell from 1920. but the name is spelled different and the wife is a Berter? b 1883 the writing on this is terrible. So it looks like Caldwell married one daughter and she had the two kids at least if not all 3 then she died or they divorced and Caldwell married the sister. I could not find Caldwell in 1900.

Not related just a Chappell

Did they stay in Essex co or go somewhere else. he Said he came over here in 1899 and I checked Ellis Island and he did not come thru there under that spelling. But it looks like all of them were born in England and came here at the same time.

Re: ? Chappell of Essex Co Va

SueChapell — 2009-09-06 23:03:01Z

I will do some more looking but could not find a Robert Garde in Va at all. Nor did I find any Amy married to a Wright up to 1930 census, so Unless she married under a different name. I do think that this is probably the right family, with just a few dates off which will happen in the census records.

I will also look to see who the Chappells parents are if you need that also.

Hello, I live in North Carolina and the way that we

Who were your Chappells? Does your line include Robert of Nottingham? Did any come to America in the early 1600s?
Thanks,
Carolyn

That makes sense since my line is from Nottinghamshire... and we pronounce it like you do. Or at least half of us do.

From what I've read the original name came from a man who slept outside the local chapel (in France), so I suppose the name is pronounced "CHAP-EL" in America... and "SHA-PEL" in France. Just a guess.

Hi
My Grandfather was from Sheffield England and we pronounce it like the church. I know the Sha.. is a french version of it. My Grandfather was adamant about our version saying they didnt know how to speak English! LOL
