Rebecca Chappell's name first appears on her son Chappell Davenport's register of death (see image uploaded.) Her birth date can be anywhere between 1740 (husband's age) and 1758 (age 18 based on birth date of first child in 1776.)
DNA matches show strong relationship to parents or grandparents being Samuel Chappell and Elizabeth Scott. They are listed as uncertain for the time being. She is not listed in the will of Samuel Chappell, so she is A. a granddaughter or B. a daughter and her first name of Rebecca is incorrect (2nd hand information.)
