I have a Mary Chappell who married John Williams in my database... Mary came from MD...Her brother, James C. Chappell, is my ancestor... They were found in the 1776 census of Harford County, MD (Susquehannah Hundred) in the home of a Mary Thompson... I have tried for years to get proof of their father, who I have been told may be George Chappell...but no written proof has been found...A researcher told me he saw a citation in a book in the Library of Congress - which showed George left these two children, ages 7 and 8, in the care of a church member, Mary Thompson, but he failed to get a copy...and the librarian there can't find it!...James came to Surry County, NC and some of his descendants went to Indiana... Please email me your email address so we can compare notes... LADLSL@aol.com
