    Issue of Nicholas Chapple and Thomasin Parre

The Will of Nicholas' mother Thomazine in 1617 specifies the following details:
" To the seven sons and daus. of my son Nicholas Chappell 40s each.
... My dau. in law Thomazine Chappell 40s; her eldest son Thomas, my best stone cup covered with silver gilt; her eldest dau. Christian, a white silver goblet. ... "

The Will of his father Nicholas in 162021 names the following among others:
" Wife Thomazine 4 sons Thos. Ambrose, Nicholas and John ".

Marr c1631 at Alphington, Devon to Mary, surname unknown. In one of the children's baptisms she is Marie but mostly is Mary, in particular in the will of Ambrose Chappell (see below). Most Ancestry Public Trees have her as Marie Michell (or occasionally Mitchell) but the evidence of the Will is against this.

Thomas died before 2 Jul 1650 (ref Will).
It appears that Mary remarried, to George MITCHELL of Alphington, by 2 Jul 1650.

The relevant portion of the Will of Ambrose is as follows:
WILL OF AMBROSE CHAPPELL
Date of Will: 2 July 1650
Proved: 11 Nov 1650
To Mary wife of George Mitchell of Alphington late wife of my brother Thomas Chappell decd. £20."

4.   Ambrose CHAPPLE
Bap 29 May 1608 at Alphington, Devon, son of Nycholas Chappell (ref FamilySearch C05017-1).

The Will of his father Nicholas in 1620/21 names the following among others:
" Wife Thomazine 4 sons Thos. Ambrose, Nicholas and John ".

The most likely marriage is on 6 Oct 1632 at Saint Gregory By Saint Paul, London, of Ambrose Chappell to Anne GOSLIN (ref FamilySearch M05426-1) since his Will gives his wife's name as Anne and he moved away from his home as a mariner.
No children found in FamilySearch.

Ambrose died late 1650, presumably in Lisbon, Portugal. There is a mention in Google books in 'Ships of the Royal Navy' page 205, as such: "JOHN AND MARY Hired, impressed at Lisbon 1650". There are several references to the 'St Andrew' in other books about the Royal Navy.

His Will is transcribed below and helps to resolve the marriages and families of his siblings.
