Family talk:George Chappell and Christian Unknown (1)

For heaven's sake would someone please read this ?

Hi fellow George Chappell researchers:

Since I recall (but can not find) an article discussing the wife/wives of immigrant George Chappell, I thought I would "throw this in the wind" for comment and possible current theory as to who George did or did not marry. More importantly, what child goes with what mother, since we seem to have a lot of children scattered in different pages.

I recall someone saying that the entries in New London Vital Statistics with father, William Chappell were probably an error by the record keeper meant to read George, so I found entries for all the CHAPPELLs in Vol 1 following. If anyone has access to any other record or published theory for George's wife's given name, please reply. I've heard that Christian's surname is possibly BELL, and other theories for Margery's surname as well as Margarette.

In chronological order here are the CHAPPELL entries I found at:
