Hi all!
My sister-in-law passed on the link to the 1872 Southern Claims Commission Disallowed Claims Index. Included is a Joel Chappell of Madison county, Tennessee. You can find his claim at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/scc/scc72_158.JPG
It lists where he lived, what he claimed, his sympathies during the war and reason for the claim being rejected. Good stuff!
The link to the home page for the site is http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/scc/72index.html
in case you want to check for other surnames you're researching.
Happy Hunting!

HHi,
I just read your e-mail and wondered if you could tell me if the "Slave
Birth Records" you mentioned are with the LDS, on the internet, or book or
what. I have been searching for a friend of my granddaughters at college, but the
search ihas not been very successful. I have come to believe that somehow
the CLARK side of the family may be related to William CLARK of LEWIS and CLARK,
since they were in Missouri and Kentucky abaout the right time. My e-mail
addess is eroch25(a)aol.com. Thank you. Earlene H.
Greetings,
I am an Afro-American.
My Great Grand parents were Peter and Allie/Alice Chappell of Halifax Co. Va.
Christopher Carlton a white slave holder died in 1824 (probably in King +
Queen County) Va. In his will Christopher willed to his daughter Polly
Carlton "one Negro Esther and her future increase."
Dolly died July 7, 1858, without leaving husband, or children.
In Jan of 1859 the increase of "one Negro Esther," the slave willed to
Polly Carlton, were bought by Joel Younger from Polly's surviving siblings
and the children of Polly's dead siblings for $1,500 dollars. "One Negro
Esther" was mentioned in the papers apparently only to establish that Joel
was purchasing her (Esters) future increase (I am assuming that Esther was dead
by then).
That sum of $1,500, bought my g-grand mother Allie and her children, Willis,
Daniel (my grandfather ), Eppa, George, and Henry.
Joel Younger had in fact had possession of Allie before he officially bought
her in 1859, because I found in "Slave Birth Records," Allie giving birth to
three of her children, in 1853, 1855, and 1858, with the Slave holder/owner
listed as Joel Younger.
In the 1870 Census for Halifax Co. VA, Peter aged 40y and Allie aged 35 were
found with the following children: Willis 20y. George, 15y, Henry 13y,
Peter (Lee) 12y, Doctor 10y, Davis 9y, Bell 7y, Willy Ann 5y, Edward 3y, and
Horace 6mo. Daniel, my grandfather and son of Peter & Allie using the
surname Younger, was living nearby with his wife Sue (Younger).
In 1880 I again find Peter 50y, and Allie/Alice 50 y, with children Bell
18y, Willie 16, Doctor 20, Lee (Peter) 22y, Henry 23y, Eppy 24y, Edward
12y, Horace (Braxton) 11y, Milly 7y, and Corer 4y.
Other than the births of children to Allie in 1853, 1855 and 1858, and the
sale of she and her children, I found no other records whatsoever of Peter
or Allie before 1859, or after 1900 . Peter was found in the Personal
Property Tax list up till 1899, but was missing from the 1900 tax list, so I assume
he died between 1899 and 1900. Allie, wife of Peter was missing from the 1900
Census, so I assume that she too was dead by 1900.
I don't know yet where Peter the hubby of Allie came from, or how they wound
up with the name Chappell. Perhaps Joel Younger, who held 35 slaves in 1860,
bought Peter from a Chappell family.
Thanks for your time,
Larry
