Surnames: LANGWELL, LINGREL, LANGREL, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/1811.1.1 Message Board Post: I'am researching the surname LINGREL which many believe is derived from the name LANGWELL. My grtx4 grdfather was Major Magee LINGREL, known to have been in Dorchester co. Md. in 1800 along with other Lingrel/Langrell/Langwell etc. He was next in Ross co. Ohio in 1805. Not much is known of his parentage, who other brothers/sisters were, where he came from and when. There seem to be alot of coincidences between the LINGREL/LANGWELL lines. I've also noticed a city called" Longuiuel" just south of Montreal, Canada. There have been many Langrel/Langwell etc. families from there. Looking at a map it's easy to see that they probably traveled up the Hudson River, through Lake Champlain right to Longuiuel(same as St. Hubert) Would you mind sharing any info with me that you think may apply?
