So there is a Chappell Nebraska but it's from the "chAPEll" lineage that is distinct from the "Chap-ell" lineage! Wow. Charles Chappell who founded the train depot wheat town was traced back to 1600s U.S. while my family's Charles Chappell moved to Canada in the 1800s.
Charles Chappell was born on 30 October 1836, in Burwell, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom, his father, Curtis Chappell, was 25 and his mother, Susan Halls, was 23.Mother Elisabeth WillingsFather Curtis ChappellBurwell England, 1700s...

Burwell /ˈbɜːrwɛl/ is a village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England, some 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Cambridge. It lies on the south-east edge of the Fens.
As far back as the 1600s, there were at least two groups of people with the surname Chapel, Chappell, etc. Chapel is pronounced with a long A. (as in "Ape") It still is in the Chapel family.
- This name is often in the confused orthography of the old records confounded with Chappell, but they appear to have been from the first, distinct names. Some clerks were very careful to note the distinction, putting an accent over the a, or writing it double, Chaapel
According to Victorian genealogical story embellisher, Eugene Chapel, “[t]here were, it appears, three brothers who emigrated from England to the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1634/35 named Nathaniel, George, and William. All settled in New England. “There is a family story that the three Chapel boys booked passage together. However, to save money, they bought only two tickets. They hid their deceit by alternately staying in their quarters. Only two would appear on deck at any given time.).”
A series of conflicts regarding England's governance during the years 1642 to 1651 is now known as The English Civil War. Charles I summoned supporters to join him against his enemies in Parliament. In October 1642, nearly 10,000 men fought for Charles I and chased Parliament across the River Tamar. Fighting continued for years and was finally ended at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, with a Parliamentarian victory.
The name Chappell is not unknown in English history. In the first part of the seventeenth century one William Chappell was Bishop* of Cork, Ireland. He was born in 1582, published a ^ Bishop of the Church of Euglaud. 28 A GENEALOGICAL HISTOEY OF THE book called “Method us Concionaiidi” in 1648, and died May 13, 1649. He lived at Nottinghamshire, and was at one time John Milton’s tutor at Cambridge. He had a younger brother whose name was John, who died before him and was buried at Mans- held and ieft a family. The father of these sons was named Robert Chappell. From these well known family names, and from the dates, it is not improbable that Captain John Chappell of the ship ‘‘Speedwell,” was the John Chappell, son of Robert.Did they originate from Ireland? wild!
I have no idea if the Chappells who moved to Virginia in the 1600s were the same Chappells of my family
but they both originated from Cambridge area. https://bluepoppypublishing.co.uk/product/merchants-and-mayors-the-chappell-family-in-tudor-exeter/
There's probably more details in some genealogy book around here - I'll see if I can find more than I can find online! Basically the Chappell line moved directly to Canada in the early 1800s and then my mom's grandfather was an itinerant preacher-musician who moved into North Dakota...my mom's first name is coincidentally similar to "Katrine" of 1640s Cambridgeshire England - kind of wild.

Eight Generations of Cooper Family History
Contributed By
Generation No. 1
1. William Cooper, the last name being spelled variously as "Cowper" or "Couper", is the first verifiable ancestor in our Cooper family line. Born 6th of March, 1625, in the hamlet of Nether on the River Ure, Low Ellington, Yorkshire, England, he married Elizabeth Quiney, (b. 1628, and d. 1698) in 1645. She was the daughter of Richard Quiney, (b. 1602 - d. 1667), and Elinor Sadler, (b. 1606) of Warwickshire, England, in 1645. They had at least two children.
i. William Cooper, b. 1625, d. 1649.
ii. Rachel Cooper, b. abt. 1628.
INTERESTING NOTE: Elizabeth Quiney's uncle, Thomas Quiney, brother to her father, married William Shakespeare's daughter, Judith. John Shakespeare, father of the famous playwright, lived next door to Richard Quiney's family on Henley Street in Stratford on Avon, in England, and the friendship between the two families actually went back to Richard's great-grandfather, Richard Quiney Sr., born about 1500.
