Chappell - Brownell
The book _Brownell Genealogy_ by J Archer Brownell (p.112) shows Jane
Lessell Smith BROWNELL b. 19 Jan 1836, daughter of Robert and Olivia
(SMITH) BROWNELL, married 23 Mar 1854 Marshers CHAPPELL.
In the various Don Lewis files I find:
1871 Census
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","JANE",,"35",,"W",,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","FLAVILLA",,"15",,,,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","SHELMAN",,"12",,,,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","ARIMADA",,"14",,,,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","MARGARET",,"8",,,,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","CHARLES",,"5",,,,
"1671","HEAD OF AMHERST A"," 28","CHAPPELL","BERTHA",,"3",,,,

MARCUS age 10 months, son of MARCUS and JANE
1861 census (transcribed by Jim McGarth)
CHAPPELL, MARCIUS 6 males, 3 females
Can anyone confirm that these items all refer to the Marshers and Jane
Lessell Smith (BROWNELL) CHAPPELL that is mentioned in the Brownell
book?
I could not find them in the 1881 census. Does anyone know where they
went?
If Marcus was 78 in 1870, 44 years older than Jane, his wife, was he
married previously?
A Chappell family document I have (unsourced) shows a Marcus, son of
James and (Dorothy?) (THOMPSON) CHAPPELL married to Jane TAYLOR. Any
information on whether this is the same Marcus? Children by a first
marriage would explain the 'extra' persons listed in the 1861 census
compared to the 1871 census and a 1853/4 marriage date.
Any information on the descendants of Marshers/Marcus and Jane
(BROWNELL) CHAPPELL would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
