Posted on: Niagara Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Niagara/542 Surname: Chappell ------------------------- What you need to do is look at the 1860 and 1870 census for Wilson, Niagara Co., NY or a near location and find our who Charles' parents were. I know that there were Chappells in Niagara Co. Have you ever located Charles and family on the 1880 census? That will tell birthplace and age plus all sorts of useful info. Forgive me if you have already checked.
