The Channell family home is Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania. The family has lived in and around that small York County town since the 18th century. A distant branch of the family lives there still.
In the early 1900s, Albert Channell, Sr. moved to Baltimore City and his family and many of their descendants live in the region to this day. The easiest way to distinguish the Pennsylvania and Maryland Channells is by the way they pronounce their surname. The Pennsylvania Channells pronounced it "chan-nel" (like a television channel), while the Maryland Channells pronounce it "shuh-nel" (like the perfume). It is thought that Albert Channell, Sr.'s wife, Ruth LeCompte may be responsible for initiating this change, believing that the name was French in origin. This was probably a mistake however, as the family appears to have either an English or Scotch-Irish heritage.

30 Jul 2006, I visited with Diane (Elgin) Channell and transcribed the original land indenture between William and Margaret (Channell) Webb and William Channell.
