Elisha was my great-great grandfather as well.Ambrose was his father.
The current thought is that Ambrose had a brother James and a sister Mary.Their father was George.I would love to find out about Ambrose.Here is a post I found about them.I
I too am descended from James...
He was born 1769 in MD..was married twice.. to a Nancy and a Ruth...
His father was George Chappell who died in MD and I'm trying to get his will..
I've been told it states that James and sister Mary were to be placed in care of a member of his church named Mary Thompson
James and Mary are listed in her household in the 1776 census of Harford County, MD at ages 7 and 8....
So far I can't find anybody to locate his will...but have been told there's an abstract in a book about Maryland churches in the Library of Congress.. Do you know any Maryland researchers who could helP?
