Thanks to Joel B. Chappell for the info: Oliver Chappell b Lebanon, CT 3/29/1752 had 2 half brothers, Jonathan and Solomon. It's not known who their father was. It could have been a descendant of Lieut. Caleb Chappell, son of George 1st, who came to Lebanon 1694. The names Jonathan, Elijah, Elizabeth, Amos, James, Rachel, Sallie, Lucinda, Erastus, and Almira, all of which are given to the descendants of Lieut. Caleb, also appear as given names for the descendants of Oliver Chappell. Oliver married Eunice Palmer around 1772-4; they had 9 children. Of the 9 children, there were 4 sons: Oliver, Russell, Elijah, and Erastus. They along w/their sisters eventually left CT & purchased adjoining farms in the town of Maryland in Otsego Co., NY. Oliver Chappell, after his children left, bought a place in Milford, Otsego Co., NY 11/30/1815 he died. His widow lived with their son Elijah until she died 14 years later. Oliver Chappell is buried at Milford, Otsego Co., NY known as Edson's Corners Cemetery. Inscribed on his stone is this verse from the Book of Revelation, Chapter 14, verse 13: "Blessed are we dead which die in the LORD from henceforth yea, said the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
