Surnames: Chappell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UiB.2ACI/852 Message Board Post: I saw on the Wilson County, Tennessee Genealogy Depot website http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwcogs/index.html a family history (copyright by Ann Whalen) of the Chappell Family. Contained within it was a descendancy for James D. Chappell showing him as son of Abraham who was a son of the Abraham who is the son of Robert of Virginia. I am a descendant of James D. Chappell's son Tobias and would appreciate it if someone could supply proof or even evidence of this descendancy. I have not yet seen the evidence for a solid connection from James D. Chappell to the 2 Abrahams and to Robert. I would like to see some evidence of James D. Chappell's parents having been Abraham and Jenny (Dever) Chappell also. Thanks for any help.
