I'm not sure if this is the Mary Channell you are looking for, but I think it likely.
I have a rough draft of a book from Charles Channell on the descendents of the Channell
family in the US. In it there is a Mary Channell, born 17-Oct-1808 who married William
Vanscoy and had 14 children (Cyrene, Malinda, John, Sarah Ann, Samuel, Jane, Aaron, Lydia,
Solomon, Jacob, Elias, James, Joseph, & Thomas). The only discrepancy I have is that
Mary Channell is listed as having been born (and married) in Randolph County VA (later
WV). She died in 1878 in Iowa.
If this is the right Mary, she is the daughter of Samuel Channell and Sarah Elizabeth
Hornbeck. Their parents were Jeremiah Channell/Nancy Hodges and Benjamin Hornbeck/Lydia
Currence. Samuel Channell is my gggg-grandfather (Samuel Channell-Sarah
Hornbeck...Jonathan Channell-Edith Sayre...Sylvester Channell-Marcilla Parsons...Robert
Channell-Martha Cross...Robert Channell-Wilda McKenzie...James Channell-Patricia
Lysaght...ME).
I hope this helps. If it is the right Mary, maybe we can swap info.
