Suzanne Farrar very kindly sent me these images of Mary Meggison (1830-1881) and John P. Chappell. They were married in Chambers County, AL in 1850 and were farming there by 1860. They had 6 children by 1861.

John was reported missing and presumed killed in action at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862 while serving as a Private in the 14th Alabama Infantry.
