  Notes	The data which I have gathered has been obtained from" Hotten's list of Immigrants;," from the land records of Virginia in Richmond, from the partially preserved records of Charles City county, and from the old parish registers. It embraces the period extending from 1635 to 1700. All trace of the family has been lost from the latter date to 1846, when it is again found in Prince George county, to which county they had, doubtless, moved about the beginning of the eighteenth century. In 1740 my great-great-grandfather Chappell (whose given name is unknown), I learn from a reliable manuscript which has come down in the family. was a merchant and Indian trader in the city of Petersburg. He died about that time, leaving a widow. whose name was Sarah. and six children; three daughters and three sons; the latter named Robert. James, and John, the last of whom was my great-grandfather. The widow remarried one William Crawley, between 1740 and 1745, and in 1746 removed, with her husband and Chappell children, to Amelia county. The records of Amelia county have been preserved and are complete. I examined them in 1893, and found there the wills of Sarah Crawley. her husband and sons, Robert. James, and John Chappell. John Chappell. my great-grandfather, whom I will call No. I, died in 1775. born in 1720, leaving five sons, one of whom was named John (No. 2), who was my grandfather. These sons, all except one, who died in Amelia, removed to Halifax county, Virginia. at the close of the Revolution (1782). My grandfather, John Chappell (No.2), died in Halifax county in 1812, leaving two sons, the youngest (John. NO.3) who was my father, was born in 1788, removed to Missouri in 1836, where I was born the following year. My father died in 1860. I have the wilIs of all of my ancestors; far back as Mrs. Crawley's (1746), and of course the genealogy of the family is complete and reliable from that date to the present time. [1, 2]
