Possible this is same family. First documentation I have found on my Joell line in the new world is the signature in 1627 of a Richard Joell on a group letter regarding tobacco to the Sommer Island Co. In later generations the Joell men were sea captains in Bermuda, VA, SC & various Caribbean islands & were involved in commodies & slave trade. Thomas appears to have been a fairly common Joell family given name.
Also a Richard Joel of Halifax Co MA who was a Rev Soldier & who I am unable to connect to my particular Joell line. He was married to a Betty Humphries.
I would be interested in exchanging information with your friend.
