Dear Fred:
Well let me see if I can clarify some information for you. I have an extensive genealogy
done by decendents of Dudley Choate Channell, brother of my gg grandfather David Balch
Channell. Your John A. Channell married to Harriet Taylor was also known as Abraham
Fitzjohn Channell III. My gg grandfather's father and mother were Abraham Fitzjohn
Channell, Jr. (the second) and Jane Taylor. According to the genealogy, Harriet and Jane
were sisters. Weird.
We are decendants of Robert Fitzjohn born November 24, 1748 in Shefford, England. He died
in Georgeville, Quebec, January 9, 1858. That's correct. He lived to be 110! That is
as far back as the genealogy goes.
Yes there was a brother, Alfred Matthews Channell, born March 19, 1829. That's all we
have on him.
There was a brother, William Taylor Channell and a brother Brackett Furnald Channell and a
sister Abigail who died at the age of 3. How do you decend from John A.?
If you would like a copy of the genealogy I will get permission to pass it on. I'm
sure they would like to get in touch with you to update their info as well.
Jill (Channell) Dattel
