Have hit a brickwall with Samuel Chappell and Elizabeth Dennis, I know they were married in 1708. But cannot find any info on parents of Samuel or Elizabeth beyond that.
I would be grateful for any info. ie Parents, Children.

The original question is answered! 1811 Almira (French) is a Niece of 1793 Almira (Branch) Chappell. 1793 Almira's father was Oliver, not Russell. Case closed.

Well, Almira, and variations of it, seemed to be a popular family name at the time. From what I can gather, the 1811 Almira had Russell and Betsey (Ormsby) Chappell for parents and is different from the Canadian Elmira.

I don't have info directly relating to your Almira, but I'm interested in a possible connection because I have an "Elmira Chapel" (variant spellings) that was born in 1811 or so in Canada (family possibly from NY). This Elmira had siblings named, Joshua, Martha, William, Guerdon, Samuel and Paulina. For a long time we've been trying to find who their parents were, connecting them to Chapel/Chappell lines further back. The Almira/Elmira similarity made me wonder if maybe this was a family name passed along to descendants, where their might be a connection here to your Almira. Do you know where your Almira was from? Thanks.

I have conflicting information regarding the Matriarch of my Branch family line, Almira Chappell. I have a Chappell family tree showing Almira as born in 1793, married to Hardin Branch, and having 5 children. I was recently contacted by a descendant of Lemuel S French with information from letters and a French family Bible saying that, after Hardin Branch's death, Almira remarried to LS French. Following that takes me to an Almira Chappell French...born in 1812. Both Almira's show a Russell Chappell as father. I am confused. Almira's son, my GG Grandfather Elijah C Branch, was born in 1824. If from the 1793 Almira, she would have been 31 years old. If from the "French" Almira, she would have been 12-13 years old.... The French family also has correspondence from my GG GF to one of the Chappell's, which lends validity to the information I've been provided.
Does anyone have any further information which might help clear this up?
