MILES AND PRISCILLA PARKER CHAPPELL
written by Anne Chappell
MilesChappell, born 5 June, 1790 in Amelia County, VA, moved to to BedfordCounty, TN about 1807 with his parents Susannah Moore and AbnerChappell, a Revolutionary War veteran, born in Amelia County, 12April, 1763, died in Howard County, MO, 15 Feb 1839.  In BedfordCounty on 12 July, 1812, Miles married Priscilla Parker, born 10April, 1797, daughter of Mary Harris and Elijah Parker, born about1768 and died in 1853 in Raus, Bedford County.
Around1820, Abner moved west to Howard County, MO, where he claimed bountyland for his war service.  At about the same time Miles and hisyoung family moved south to Tennesse.
Thenext record concerning the two of them is of Miles' selling his inheritance from his father.  The deed was recorded in HowardCounty Deed Book S, page 395, 1841.  This important document wasnot discovered by Phillip Chappell who wrote The Chappell Genealogyin 1900, an extensive work that was appended and reprinted in 1983. In the 1950s, Mrs. John McQueen Guttery discovered the document andworked diligently at bringing forward the Miles Chappell line in alittle book, The Chappell Family.  Unfortunately only one of herbooks is known to be available to the public, so a copy has beenincluded with other data in a collection entitled Chappells andStanleys of Bedford County, TN., Jasper County, GA., Fayette andTuscaloosa Counties, AL., and Hill and Johnston Counties, TX. and  donated to LDS family history centers and the library atTuscaloosa.
Atleast five and possibly seven of Miles' and Priscilla's fourteenchildren, twelve daughters and two sons, were born in Tennessee. The others were born in Fayette County, Alabama.  Miles andPriscilla lived in Fayette County south of Berry, near the TuscaloosaCounty line until their very last years when they moved into the homeof their daughter and son-in-law Jesse M. and Martha Stanley  inTuscaloosa County.  As their children married they establishedhomes in both counties.
Theirchildren were  (1) Lucy, 26 June, 1813 - 27 Aug, 1838, marriedGeorge W. Johnston, both buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery at Berry;  (2) Sarah, 15 Apr, 1815 - after 1889, married Robert Berry;  (3)Permelia, 6 Feb, 1817 - 26 Oct, 1903, married Jehu Chaney Kirkland,both buried Siloam Church Cemetery, Winfield, Marion County, AL; (4) James Harvey, 27 Feb, 1819 - 23 Jan, 1896, married Lucy Freeman,both buried at Pleasant Hill;  (5) Susanah, 6 Feb 1822, dsp,very young;    (6) Mary, 21 Mar, 1824 - before 1887,married Oliver Davis;  (7) Catherine, 27 Aug, 1826 - before1887, married Samuel Whitson;  (8) Palatine, 29 Jan, 1929 -after 1889, married John C. Freeman;  (9) Martha Jane, 29 May,1831 - 20 Sep, 1909, married Jesse Mercer Stanley, both buried inSterling Cemetery near Miles and Priscilla;  (10) Lutitia, 12May, 1833 - 25 June, 1910, married William Lucius Stanley, bothburied Oak Hill Cemetery, Jasper County, AL; (11) Caraline, 4 Aug,1835 - after 1889, married Nathaniel Davis; (12) Elizabeth, 22 Sep,1837 - 6 Sep 1910, married D. C. M. T. Winn, buried Pleasant Hill; (13) John A., 29 Nov, 1840 - after 1889, married Callester Bagwell,and  (14) Alpha Ann, 13 May 1846 - after 1889, married JohnThomas.  Except for Susanah, all children had issue.  Therewere thirty-three years between the the first and last child. Lucy the eldest had married, given birth to six children, and died atage twenty-five before the birth eight years later of Alpha Ann. The only two sons were separated by more than twenty-one years.
WhenMiles died intestate 24 Mar, 1887, and was buried in Tuscaloosa Co.in Bethlehem Church Cemetery in Sterling, just three months short ofhis ninety-seventh birthday, his son James Harvey Chappell andson-in-law Jesse M. Stanley were appointed administrators of hisestate which would not be settled until 1894, seven years later. What had to be a monumentous task for his administrators would oneday become a genealogist's bonanza.  Miles had outlived four ofhis children.  He had outlived grandchildren with heirs and evengreat grandchildren with heirs.  All had to be traced down andaccounted for, and when the final accounting was done eight membersof the first generation inherited $43.96 each and some of the greatgreat grandchildren inherited eighty-one and one-fourth cents eachfrom an estate which had been valued at $849.00.  Administrativefees, no doubt well-deserved, lawyer, and court fees had eaten awayat the already meager estate that had taken so much effort toresolve.  James Harvey and John A did not receive aninheritance, presumably because of the land Deeds of Gift they hadreceived earlier from their father.  At the beginning of thesettling of the estate, Palatine and John C. Freeman, Alpha Ann andJohn Thomas, and John A. and Callister Chappell had already moved toTexas as had many of the subsequent generations. Others were livingin Mississippi. This lengthy probate providing documentation ofspouses, up to four generations of children, and their residence atthe time, has been transcribed and is included in the Chappell andStanley collection mentioned earlier.  Also included in thatcollection is a list of about 750 descendants compiled from theestate record, Mrs. Guttery's work, marriage, census, and cemeteryrecords.
Anotheruseful and entertaining source of information on this couple isMiles' War of 1812 record, SC-14477.  Because of the governmentred tape that was undoubtedly a nightmare for the participants,Miles's military record provides more information than many suchrecords.  Miles was drafted near Shelbyville, Bedford County, TNin November, 1814, and served in Captain John Jackson's Company,Tennessee Militia.  Seventeen year old Priscilla was earlypregnant with their second child.  Miles served under GeneralAndrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, finished his tour ofduty, was discharged honorably in May, 1815, and returned home justafter the birth  of his second daughter.
InAlabama, years later under the Acts of 1850 and 1855, Miles appliedfor and received bounty land for his service.  In 1871, seventy-eight year old Miles signed a declaration of loyalty to theUnited States, attesting that in the recent rebellion, he had givenno aid or comfort to the enemy, and requesting a pension under theprovision of the act of 1871.  In 1872, he was approved for apension of $8.00 a month.  September 1, 1886, Tuscaloosaattorney, S. A. M. Wood wrote a letter at the request of Miles'daughter, Martha Stanley with whom Miles and Priscilla were nowliving.  Miles was now blind and helpless, and it was theirunderstanding that his condition entitled him to another $4.00 amonth for a total of $12.00.
Whetherthe paperwork cleared Washington before Miles' death is uncertain. What is evident is the aggravation poor Priscilla encountered whenshe tried to get her widow's pension established. The required formwas not too difficult, asking the usual information: date and placeof birth, enlistment, death, and a description of his appearance atthe time of his enlistment.  He was, Priscilla recalled, fivefeet, nine inches tall, with black hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. It seems that although his name was written Miles, he was called"Milo."   On occasion the latter spelling hadbeen entered in his record, and when his blindness required him tohave his vouchers signed with his "X" appended, the signerhad written "Milo."  Questions had arisen concerningthis while he still lived, but after his death, it became a majorobstacle for Priscilla.  Oddly they never questioned thevariations of Chappell, Chappel, and Chapel.  Not only did shehave to explain the Miles\Milo discrepancy, but she must show proofof their marriage which had occured just seventy-five years, lessthree months, before Miles died!  The poor widow responded,"...so far as I know it would be impossible for me to furnishproof of our mariage for there is no one living as I know of that sawus married..."  Finally she satisfied their requirementswith several sworn statements regarding the actual date of Miles'death, the spelling and pronunciation of his name, and that they hadlived as man and wife for at least the last forty-five years. Elevenmonths after his death, Priscilla got her pension retroactive back tohis death date and for the full $12.00!  What a fortune thismust have seemed.  Priscilla lived another eighteen months afterthe her pension was granted, and then on 27 Aug, 1889, she joinedMiles in that peaceful little church cemetery in Sterling.
