Okay, I keep trying to post this reply but the board keeps eating it apparently.
In regard to Florence, the info I have lists her as dying in 1916, not 1918. Her parents were William Frederick Chappell and Emma L. Lentz (born 28 Feb 1842) and they married 23 Oct 1864.
Robert Chappell was 23 years old when his father Robert Grant died in 1928, so...was Durbin William a brother of Robert Chappell's and if so, I wonder why he could not take care of his brother, or not have him taken in by other family at the least and not a foster home. My great grandpa Robert Chappell, however, married a woman named Mary Elizabeth Lewis. They had three children: Robert Chappell Rinedoller Jr., Paul Albert Rinedoller (my grandpa), and Florence Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth died a few months after giving birth to my great-aunt Florence, and my great grandpa remarried, but not a Margaret. A woman named Elizabeth, who I believe was referred to as Betsy. Or maybe Betty or Bessie. Not sure on those details as she and Robert Chappell died shortly after I turned one year old, so I never actually MET them because I was obviously not old enough to register who they were. I was born 12 Sept 1983 and Robert C Rinedoller died 30 Sept 1984...so, yeah.
Thanks for the other bits I didn't have. I just wish I knew where in Germany it is that John Jacob Reinthaler came from.
I have ancestors from Darmstadt, Wurzburg (and the Berlin area on my father's side). Rinedoller, my surname, happens to be my mother's maiden name. Long story.
I do love the Chappell name though and someday I plan on continuing it by giving it to my future son as a middle name.

possibly related through prior generations :-)

Hi Holly,
Got your thread and have some information. I have been corresponding with Paul for many years. He is now in Korea.
I have information on Florence as shown below. She was born on Sep 8,1874 in Pennsylvania. She married in 1898 to Robert Grant Rinedoller. She died on Nov 4, 1918. Her father was William T. Chappell who was born in 1836. Her mother was Emma, surname unknown and was born in 1842. They had three children. Robert Grant Rinedoller was born on May 20, 1870 in Philadelphia, PA. He died on Apr 15, 1928. His parents were Durbin Rinedoller and Anna Marie Thornley. Florence was the first wife of Robert. A lady named Hannah was his second. One child, Durbin William was an inmate in a foster home for orphans in 1920 according to the US Census. There were two other children, Robert Chappell and Margaret who married
In the US Census or 1900, a boarder Phillip Lentz was living with them and in 1920, a Joseph Harner was a boarder.
In 1900 Flornce was listed as living with her father William at Frankfurt Ave. Philadelphia, PA.
Paul, was correct on the earlier ancestors. The father of John Jacob Reinthaler Jr. was also named John Jacob came to America in 1749 and my Reinthaler ancestor came in 1751. I believe they were brothers but cannot prove this. My ancestor Joh Georg came from Simmozheim and the son of Hans Gerg Reinthaler.
That is all I have concerning the Chappell/Rinedoller relationship. Paul asked me about the change of spelling and I have no answer. Our descendanats took the surname of Rinedollar in my family, Reindollar in Northern Maryland who are related, and some Rhinedollars still living that I have not been able to connect to our lineage.
Thanks for sending the message and if you have other questions, please let me know.
In SERvice TO MAnkind,
Jack Rinedollar, a distant relative I believe

My uncle Paul Albert Rinedoller Jr posted in this thread back in 2000 about the Chappell/Rinedoller connection. And in regard to the last comment about, my uncle and I are descended from John Jacob Rinedoller who was born in the Philadelphia area in 1759, and my uncle has told me that his father came over from Germany in 1749...but the last name was changed at some point to Rinedoller. So, we are probably very distantly related with the Rinedollar line, if your line came over the same year.
Perhaps you are descended from an older or younger sibling of John Jacob?
