1880 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 14 July, Precinct 3, page 69, Hse/Fam #625 Chappell, James W M 24 Husband Farmer GA GA MS Chappell, Rebecca W F 21 Wife Keep House TX GA SC One source reports Rebecca's middle name as Mauldin. But many genealogies report her as Rebecca Madeline. This latter name is also the name on a Texas Death record that may be for this same Rebecca. Several attach the following death report to James Jonathan Chappell's wife. Texas Death Index, 1903-2000 Certificate #20767 Rebecca Madaline Chapel Death 5 Mar 1949 Panola County There was some confusion and uncertainty, because several genealogies report a James John or James Jonathan Chapel with a wife named Dora Chapel, citing a marriage record in 1892 in Sebastian County, Arkansas. Some genealogies have confused her husband with one James John Chapel who was born in Arkansas, married Dora Chapel in Sebastian County, Arkansas in 1892, and died in Cleburne, Texas, in 1922. But Rebecca's husband died before 1900, according to the 1900 census. But this may be wrong, maybe they were divorced instead. Rebecca is reported as a widow in censuses from 1900 to 1930. These genealogies also follow the Texas Death Index report of her death as above, in Panola County, Texas, in 1949. Most ignore the other wife's name Dora. Most genealogies have only one wife for James J Chapel, either Rebecca or Dora. It seemed that there were two similarly-named Chapel men named James John or James Jonathan or similar. But I finally found some genealogies that have both wives wife named Dora don't have a wife Rebecca. One possibility is that they obtained a divorce for which we have not found the record. The Chapel family and other families related to them moved from Texas to Chickasaw Nation, Indian territory int he late 1800s. Both Rebecca and James were in Oklahoma near family later. Rebecca and James could have gotten a Chickasaw Divorce, which then was not registered with US authorities. Or they could have gotten a US divorce, but it is not available to us. Oklahoma has never made its public records available online, and one must pay to get a copy from any county office. Our Rebecca was in Choctaw County, Oklahoma with her son Oliver and his family for the 1910 census, but they moved back to Cass County, Texas, before the 1920 census. Panola County, Texas, where she is reported to have died, is about three counties south of Cass, so this could be the same Rebecca. This may indicate she moved farther south before she died. 1900 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 77 June, Justice Precinct 6, District 22, page 6B, Hs/Fam #93 Chappel, Rebkka [sic] Head W F Oct 1858 41 Widow 3 children/3 living TX TX TX Farm Laborer [No ownership status] Chappel, Oliver Son W M Oct 1882 17 Single TX GA IL Chappel, Annie Dau W F Mch 1885 15 TX GA TX There is a puzzle in this 1900 census enumeration, in the birth states of the parents of Oliver. Note that his parents are reported as being born in Georgia and Illinois. James J Chappel was born in Georgia, according to other sources. But note that here Rebecca is not reported born in Illinois but Texas. (But in 1880 some read the birth state of her mother as an abbreviation of Illinois, while some see it as SC, similar to other entries of SC on the page. In 1920 and 1930 Rebecca's mother is again reported born in Illinois.) Note that in 1910, Oliver's birth state reports are all Texas. Note also that the 1900 census reports that Rebecca has borne 3 children and all three are living. So there was an older child who is away for the home, and probably married at this point. 1910 Federal Census, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, 3 May, Wilson Township, District 69, page 7B, Hse #125, Fam #136 Chapel, Oliver Head M W 27 Married 4 yrs TX TX TX Farmer Rents Chapel, Nora Wife F W 21 Married 4 yrs 2 children/2 living LA TX TX Chapel, Roy Son M W 3 Single TX TX LA Chapel, Ruby K Dau F W 11mos Single OK TX LA Chapel, Rebecca Mother F W 52 Widowed TX TX GA 1920 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 20 January, Justice Precinct 3, District 37, page 7B, Marietta and Bryans Mill Rd, Hse #118, Fam #122 Chappel, Oliver Head Rents M W 37 TX TX TX Farmer Chappel, Nora Wife F W 31 TX TX TX Chappel, Roy Son M W 13 Single TX TX TX Chappel, Ruby K Dau F W 10 OK TX TX Chappel, Flosy Dau F W 7 OK TX TX Chappel, Frank Son M W 4 Single OK TX TX Chappel, Coy Son M W 1 Single TX TX TX Chappel, Rebecca Mother F W 63 Widow TX AL IL 1930 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 22 April, Justice Precinct 3, District 12, page 8A, Douglasville-Naples Rd, Hse #139, Fam #144 Chapel, Oliver Head Rents M W 47 Married First married at age 23 TX TX TX Farmer [b abt 1863] Chapel, Rebecca Mother F W 71 Widow First married at age 21 TX AL IL [b abt 1859] Chapel, Flossie Dau F W 16 Single OK TX TX [b abt March 1914] Chapel, Frank Son M W 14 Single OK TX TX [b abt March 1916] Chapel, Coy Son M W 12 Single TX TX TX [b abt March 1918] Chapel, Mary Dau F W 8 Single TX TX TX [b abt March 1922] Chapel, R A Son M W 3yrs6mos Single TX TX TX [b abt March 1926] Even though Oliver is reported here as married, Nora is not reported in this family.

His last name was Luttrell. He lived in Seymour, TX. And had several children, which TeLowa believed were from a previous marriage. TeLowa Kay was Winnie's daughter, she is an only child. She inherited the sweet personality of the Barefoot side. We love her to pieces. TeLowa has 4 grown children with families. I will forward all of this information to her. Another treasure trove.

My initial information for Daniel H Day came from family information collected by Harold Christian in his research on the Jenkins, Christian and related families. I found some details in censuses, and first see him listed in the 1800 census, in Cass County, Texas. He is 18 years old and living at home with his mother Nancy Taylor Day. It appears Nancy is a widow, though this census does not report marital status. They are working a farm, but living next door to Nancy's brother Daniel Taylor and his family. Nancy and Daniel H are shown as Farming, as is Daniel, but it is not possible to determine if they are working the same farm or adjoining ones. 1880 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 17 June, Justice Precinct 3, District 12, page 17, Hse/Fam #238 Day, Nancy W F 54 Farming MS MS MS Day, Daniel H W M 18 Son Farming TX MS MS A family photo given to me in 2009 gives us Daniel and Cora's wedding date.

Nancy is not enumerated with Daniel in 1910, and I have not found her in the census at all in 1910. It appears that she died some time after the 1900 census. 1910 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 20 April, Cusseta, District 30, page 2B (Ancestry p 16B), Hse #54, Fam #56 Day, Daniel H Head M W 49 Married 25 years TX GA MS Farmer Day, Cora Wife F W 41 Married 25 years 11 children, 9 living SC Unknown VA Day, Maggie M Dau F W 22 TX TX SC School Teacher Day, William C Son M W 19 TX TX SC Farm Laborer Day, Cora L Dau F W 17 TX TX SC Day, James R Son M W 14 TX TX SC Farm Laborer Day, Noble P Son M W 10 TX TX SC Farm Laborer Day, Rayborn D Son M W 7 TX TX SC Day, Daniel W Son M W 5 TX TX SC Day, Mirtice E Dau M W 5 TX TX SC This census is helpful since the middle initial of all persons (except mother Cora) is included. Note that in this census, it is reported that Cora has borne 11 children, and 9 are still living. In 1900, it was reported that only 6 of her 7 children were still living. This means that in 1910 they had lost one child, and lost another before 1910, while three more children were born since 1900! In 1900 Lee (reported as Cora L in 1910) is reported as born in June 1893 and 6 years. The census was taken on 16 June. This would mean that her birthday was later in June, and she would have her 7th birthday in June after the 1900 census. Yet in 1910, the census is taken in April, and she is reported as 17 years old. With a birthday in June, she would not turn 17 until after the 1910 census. A similar discrepancy occurs with Noble/Preston. In 1900 Preston is reported as 1 year old. The corresponding child in 1910 is reported as Noble P age 10. If both of these are correct, this would mean his birthday is between April and June 1889. Yet in the 1900 census his birthday is reported quite clearly as "Jan 1899," which would mean his age should have been 11 at the 1910 census. This census is commonly off by a year or more. This is a common variation, which seems to indicate that people in that era were not fixated on details and objective information as American culture became during the 20th century. I don't have the name of the first child who died. It appears that Preston in 1900 is the Noble P of 1910. Another child must have been born and died before 1900. We similarly lack the name of the second child who died between 1900 and 1910. Nora from 1900 is missing, but I have found from the Marriage register that she was married to Jessie Parsons on 22 July 1906. In 1910 Maggie has graduated from school and is now teaching. Her middle initial is given in 1910. Later she is listed as Mary M. Thus her two names appear to have been Maggie (perhaps the full name Margaret) and Mary. This is confirmed in the 1930 census, where she is the Head of household with her parents living in the home, and enumerated as Mary M Patterson. Note also the change in birthplace for Cora's parents. Now she does not know where her father was born, and her mother is reported as born in Virginia, rather than Illinois. This type of variation is a fascinating mystery of the census reports. In the 1920 census Daniel is again listed as Dink H Day, as in 1900. This indicates this must have been his common nickname. A genealogy has this nickname for him. This genealogy is short on documentation sources, but also gives his death date, apparently from family sources. This also gives us his middle name and Cora's maiden name and dates of birth and death. Daniel 'Dink' Harrison Day Birth Mar 1861 in Texas Death 16 Mar 1936 Marriage to Cora Richey 19 Nov 1884 Texas Birth Nov 1866 in South Carolina Death 8 May 1951 -- Owen-Edwards, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/10246650/person/-515113661?ssrc=&ftm=1 In 1920, Daniel and family are still in the same area of Cass County, Texas. 1920 Federal Census, Cass County, Texas, 7 January, Justice Precinct 3, District 31, page 2A, Bryan's Mill and Marietta Rd, Hse #27, Fam #28 Day, Dink H Head M W 58 TX GA MS Farmer Day, Cora Wife F W 51 SC SC IL Day, William C Son M W 28 TX TX SC Farmer Day, Rayborne Son M W 17 TX TX SC Farmer Day, Daniel W N Son M W 15 TX TX SC Farmer Day, Myrtis E Dau M W 13 TX TX SC Parsons, Ernest Grandson M W 12 TX TX TX Parsons, Inez Granddaughter F W 8 TX TX TX Two grandchildren are in the household. From the last name, these would be the children of Nora, who married Jesse J Persons. Here the name appears to be spelled Parsons. (These are historical variations of the same name/word in English.) This probably indicates that both Nora and Jesse had died since the birth of these two children. I have their marriage information but have not found their death information. They were married 22 July 1906. Texas Marriage Index, 1847-2002 9 306 919 7 22 1906 Parsons, Jessie Day, Nora, Miss (Genealogical record name: Jesse J. Parsons -- James Jackson) Ernest was born in about 1907. Inez was born in about 1911. So the parents presumably died in the next 8-9 years. I see in this census, the birthplaces of Cora's parents have been rectified back to the earlier report of Father born South Carolina and mother born Illinois. So I will take this as the correct report. Maggie is away and presumably married by this time. In 1930 we find her as widow, head of household, in Montgomery County, Maryland, (just north of Washington, DC) and her parents Daniel and Cora living with her. In the 10 years since the last census, William has gained 11 years, plus he is soon to have another birthday, since this census was in January, and previous years had been in April or June. The 1920 enumerator spells the name Mirtice as Myrtis. She has also gained only 8 years since the last census. From family sources, it appears the family spelled her name as Myrtis. 1930 Federal Census, Montgomery County, Maryland, 7 May, Takoma Park, District 35, page 31A, 318 Garland Ave, Hse #686, Fam #832 Patterson, Mary M Head Owns $8000 F W 40 Widow TX TX SC Bookkeeper Day, Daniel H Father M W 69 First married at age 26 TX TX MS Day, Cora Mother F W 60 First married at age 16 SC SC VA Hamilton, Nina Lodger F W 40 Single OH OH OH Graduate Nurse, Hospital Holland, Luna J Lodger F W 23 Single AL AL AL Mail Clerk, Sanitarium Carson [sic], Inez Lodger F W 18 Single TX TX TX Waitress, Mail Clerk, Sanitarium Note the last person here. This matches Inez Parsons in the 1920 census. This appears to be Dink and Cora's granddaughter, but the enumerator misunderstood her surname (Pasrons), writing Carson instead. Interesting also that she is listed as a Lodger, rather than as a granddaughter. This indicates the enumerator did not understand the family relationship. In February 2017 we received informatoin from a descendant of Danikel's son James Robert given some further info on that line, including a third wife of James Robert not previously known. ----------------- Joseph had a son Daniel, which had several children one of which was James Robert who was married to Gussie, Kathryn and then Marion [not previosuly known in my tree]. With Marion Cook Day (1905-2004) he had a son, Robert James Day (1937-2015) and he had three sons with Margaret Eccles Day (b1937), Robert James, Jr (me) (1959); Steven Craig (1961) and Dennis Scott (1965). All from Phoenix. This was Marion's second marriage after her first husband had passed, she had a daughter Virginia (b 1930) prior to marriage with James. James Robert had 2 other sons James O'Dell [son of Gussie and Lloyd Ray. -- Robert Day Jr, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 16 February 2917 -----------------
