Notes
a. Note:   Aurela Greene was born in Cheshire, Massachusetts, November 5, 1785. Very little is known of her early life. She was first married to Joseph Chapel in Massachusetts and in January, 1821, they lived at Lenox, Mass. with Mr. Chapel's father, mother, and sister, Lucretia. In a letter to Levi Greene at this time, Mr. Chapel expresses a wish to go west to New York, but says there is one advange in Lenox which he would not have in Oswego Co., New York, that is the education of his children which then numbered seven. He speaks of the hard times and high taxes. Says there is an abundance of produce but no market. In December of the same year Joseph and Aurelia Chapel write again to their parents. Mr. Chapel's brother-in-law, Mr. Johnson, and family have moved in with the Father Chapel and Joseph's family lives by itself. November 30, 1823 Joseph Chapel and wife write from Volney, Oswego County, new York, saying they have just arrived in New York after a tedious journey of thirteen days, arriving November 13th. "Land can be had for three dollars per acre, cash down,"says he, "but the winters are too long and too severe." He thinks he would like to go on to Livonia, New York to settle. Aurelia tells of leaving her daughter, Aurelia, behind, also living her daughter, Almira, with Mr. Miller's family in Manlius, Massachusetts, to attend school during the winter. In April, 1825, however, Joseph Chapel and family are still living in Volney, New York, although evidently they have visited their parents since the last letter of 1823. In this letter they state that there has not been a day's sleighing in all winter and some people are ploughing before the twentieth of March. Joseph Chapel, was was born August 13, 1778, died at Palermo, New York, August, 1833. About 1837, Aurelia (greene) Chapel married Selim Dayton, a cabinet maker. He died in September, 1856. She died at Abijah Chapel's in Hastings, New York, about 1866 and is buried at Palermo, New York.
