Pardon me for jumping in here... I have Edwin CHAPPELL b: c 1840, that I am searching for conformation of his parents. "My" Edwin CHAPPELL is listed in the 1860 Napa/Sonoma CA census with his Grandmother Nancy "Clorence" STUBBLEFIELD, and continued to be found in further census near her. We figure that he is the son of Nancy's oldest daughter POLLY [MARY?] STUBBLEFIELD b:1819 AL. We are looking for the marriage of Polly to Unknown [ED?]CHAPPELL, in either AL or TN about 1838-9. We have Nancy "Clorence" STUBBLEFIELD [w/ right amount of childen of the correct ages] in the 1830 & 1840 Jackson Co. AL, We have her last son born 1841 Rutherford Co. TN and most of her older children marriages 1840's in Wilson Co. TN. We have Nancy w/ her two youngest sons living next door to two older sons & their young families also her daughter Molinda Stubblefield-Grissom in the Gibson Co., TN 1850 census. I would be interested in the parents & siblings of R.J. CHAPPELL b:1842 Maury Co., TN. Or any ideas or suggestions are welcome mema > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "CSLooney" <CSLooney@MOzark1.com> > To: <LOONEY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 9:16 AM > Subject: [LOONEY-L] Samson Looney - Missouri > > >> Posted as found on the web. >> >> >> Regards, >> ///Steve Looney/// >> >> ******************** >> >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~molawre2/bio/chapp.html >> >> page 181 >> R.
