I am trying to find the family of my James B. Chappell born
abt 1818. The first record that I can find of James B. Chappell is in Indepencdence County Arkansas in 1842 when he marries Elizabeth Melinda Chappell. Elizabeth Melinda Chappell is the daughter of Daniel Miller and Sarah Moser.
Sarah Moser is from a very large family of Moser's in North
Carolina. They lived in Iredell and Alexander Counties of North Carolina Elk Shoal Creek to be exact. Any ways was
wondering if maybe my James B. Chappell could be related to your Chappell's from North Carolina? Am willing to share
any information I have.
Thanks for your time

Greetings,
Because of computer problems, I have been off line for about a month. To anyone who might have tried to contact me during that time, I apologize.
I now have a slightly different email address it is:
lchand3835(a)cox.net
Thanks, Larry
Hello y'all,
First I will answer some questions.
To Linda, I don't know of a Stanley Chappell. Harrison Chappell had two
sons, John Edward and William Harrison Chappell. John E. had one son, Robert, who
married but had no children. William Harrison was my grandfather. There is
no one to carry on the Chappell name because of changing of surname. Anyone
must come from John and Mary's other sons.
To Roslyn, Don't know who Molly Chappell who m. John Williams is. There was
an Elizabeth Yeaman's who m. a Williams. No further information.
To Virgle, I haven't heard from Jean Hurtt for at least two years. She had
moved and when I wrote her she never answered. She is still in MO, however. Mr.
Parkin may have her address
or you might contact the Missouri Genealogical Society in Columbia. Jean was
having one of their members get information. I don't have the name handy.
Now onto the Chappell ancestry. John was born 1756 and died April 9, 1835. I
do not have the names of his parents. There is a possibility that his father
or grandfather was a Henry Chapple.
NORTHERN NECK GRANTS BOOK 2 1694-1700
2-3 James Pea;e of Rappahannock now Richmond Co., died seized of 100 A.
bought of William Cooper 2 Sept. 1684 and devised to his wife Judith Peal who
died without heir. Grant to HENRY CHAPPLE On Rappahannock Cr. adj. John Ford
(remainder of Deed missing)
My suspect is that my great grandfather was named (on my grandfather's death
certificate) as Henry H. Chappell. He went by the name of Harrison. If
there is a connection between names I would suggest that the first born son of
Harrison was named John (for father) & Edward (prob. name of wife's father) and
the second son was William Harrison (after father).
I have the declaration of John Chappell for Revolutionary War service:
Virginia, Fairfax County. To wit ss
On the 2nd day of August 1832 personally appeared before the Worshipful
court of the county aforesaid John Chappell, a resident of Fairfax County State
of Virginia age 72 years who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on
his oath - made the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of
the provision made by the act of Congress _____ June 7, 1832. That he enlisted
in the army of the United States in the year 1777 and the 1st of March with
Capn Thomas Ewell and served in the first regiment of the Virginia line under
the following named officers viz: Capn Thomas Ewell Commander by Colo George
Gibson and Lieut Colo William Brent that he resided in fairfax County when
he enlisted and state of Virginia that he was in the battle of Monmouth and
one of the Soldiers who entered Stony Point. that after his enlistment he
remained in Virginia until September following was then marched into Pennsylvania
to Join Genl Washington and served there and New York until 1779. That he
was marched back to Virginia and discharged by Colo John Allison in
Alexandria in March1780--- he hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension in
an annuity except the present: and he declares that his name is not on the
pension roll of any agency in any State___Sworn to and prescribed the day and
year aforesaid
(signed) John Chappell
It should be noted that John spelled his name with two 'p's and two 'l's as
that was the spelling for Chapel at that time. His descendants dropped one
'l'. Our family came to Oregon in 1864 and too on the original spelling and
changed the pronunciation from English to French. In fact on family added an 'e'
so there mail didn't get mixed up.
That's it for now. More later.
Florence
The Chappell at the end who moved to MO. Do you have any more info on that
family?
I have a Stanley Chappell from MO.

Subject: [CHAPPELL] John Chappell & Mary Yeaman Ancestry
I have information on the Yeaman family of Fairfax Co., VA. Research was
done by Robert Parkin of St. Louis, MO.
JOHN YEAMAN (1730-1798) was an emigrant farmer, or planter, in during the
final years of England's Virginia colony, preceding and following the
American
Revolution. He and his wife had a handful of children--apparently all girls
John was born about 1730 in England and married there around 1753. His
wife's name is unknown. Their five known children were girls, and all of
them born
in England.
The family came to America in 1768, settling in Fairfax County.
The Yeaman family resided on Wolf Run, near it's junction with Occuquan
River, southwest of Fairfax Court House. Their closest neighbor was the
Chappell
family, and their properties adjoined.
In 1785, Fairfax tax collector William Payne's list enumerated John Yeaman
with five members of his family, living in a single dwelling with three
other
buildings on their property.
Yeaman died in February, 1798 (Fairfax Probate Inventory G1:365,368;
H1:199-200), at about sixty-eight years of age. His wife evidently had died
sometime
previously. Yeaman's son-in-
law, John Chappell, was appointed administrator of his estate. An inventory
showed Yeaman's holdings valued at 33 pounds, 15 shillings, 1 1/2 pence.
Just two years after arriving in Virginia, fifteen year old Sarah Yeaman
was
married to John Rigg of Fairfax County. Sarah was born December 30, 1755, in
England. Her husband was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. They had a
number of children. Rigg died on or about July 2, 1794. His widow
eventually
received a pension, based on his Revolutionary War service.
Another of Yeamans' daughters, Mary, was married in December 1782, to JOHN
CHAPPELL,. another veteran of the Revolution. John and Polly lived in
Fairfax
County and were parents of nine children. John received a pension for
wartime
services and after his death in April 1835, his widow drew a pension in the
summer of 1853, having reached 92 years of age.
Marriages of all five of the Yeaman girls probably took place in the Yeaman
home. Certainly this was the case when Polly married Chappell, a ceremony
performed by Parson Lee Massey, a minister of Truro Parish, and a close
friend
of George Washington.
Priscilla Yeaman, probably the youngest daughter of John, was married about
1780 to George Calvert. They had 11 children. They lived for decades on a
portion of the Yeaman plantation. When Calvert died in September, 1830
(Fairfax
Wills Q1:63-64, 278), at some sixty years of age, his brother-in-law, John
Chappell, was one of the three men who inventoried his estate. Calvert's
widow,
Priscilla, operated their farm after his death, raising horses, pigs and
various crops. She died in August 1842 (Fairfax Wills U1:29); she was
nearly 80
years of age.
Other possible daughters of the Yeamans'' were Richard Simpson's wife,
whose
given name is unknown, and Elizabeth, who married a man named Williams.
That is all I have on the Yeaman family. It appears that the Chappell
family
is being researched by descendants of Jane (Jenny) Buckley and Harrison
Henry Chappell. Both were deceased when John wrote his will and their
children
were to receive their parents share but I do not know if they did or not.
I was always told that the Chappell family was of French descent, but I
really do not think so. Also with the name "Harrison" we were told there was
a
connection with the Harrison family.
Harrison Chappell (we pronounce it Shappell) moved to Franklin County,
Kentucky and was there in the 1820 and 1830 Census, no land but he did have
horses. Shortly after he moved on to Boone Co., MO he died about 1833. I
have
record of his brother, Isaiah R. Chappell, who moved to Warren Co., MO.
That line
spells the name with one "L". Isaiah had a son George who had a son,
Harrison, who lived in Montgomery Co., MO. Another brother, John C. Chappell
went to
Washington D.C. The three Chappell brothers and John Freyer Buckley were in
the War of 1812.
If anyone is interested in more information, I will be glad to fill in.
Best Wishes,
Florence
