They had a son, William H. Chappell (born 1855) who married Mary Ann Johnston.  Their daughter, Sadie Chappell, is my grandmother. The Thomas Chappell you found could possibly be the one I'm researching.  I'll definitely check it out.Thank you again,Cat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
