From Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin, Volume 1-38: Vol. 31, No. 1, Winter 1990, 1777 Tax List of Montgomery County, page 4:
"Lower Potomack Hundred" Chappel, Henry Senr., 2 taxables (taxables were free males over the age of 16, all slaves over the age of 15, excepting clergymen and non-property owning men)
This information came from the DAR records. From Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin, Volume 1-38: Vol. 31, No. 1, Winter 1990, 1777 Tax List of Montgomery County, page 4:
There is a Henry living alone in Rock Creek Hundred, according to the same text, page 16. This is present day Rockville, Md.DAR record (Ref: 31-4, K-1:182)
Chappel, Henry Senr., "Lower Potomack Hundred" 2 taxables. DAR records (Ref: 31-4, K-1:182) and (Ref R-31:16)
(taxables were free males over the age of 16, all slaves over the age of 15, excepting clergymen and non-property owning men)
The Henry living with Thomas and George in 1776 is Henry, Sr. because he had to have been born in 1716 since he listed his age as 60 (see below). We don't know if Thomas' father was Henry, Sr. (and Henry Jr his brother) or if Henry, Sr. was his grandfather.
From DAR source Henry told the military in 1776 that he was born in Maryland and that generations of Marylanders were his ancestors.
Henry Sr. paid taxes in 1776 & 1777. Name of wife not taken, but she is listed as five years his senior. His year of birth is recorded as 1716, so that would make her birth year 1711. DAR record (Ref: 31-4, K-1:182)
from Maryland Records, Volume 1, 1776 Census of Lower Potomack Hundred (Frederick County) page 182, "A List of the Number of Souls Taken & Given in to the Committee of Observation. The Sex & Ages of White and Black, Aug. 22, 1776"

Henry Chappell listed in the book Revolutionary Records of Maryland, Montgomery Coutny, Maryland 1778 on page 4
DAR Record "Henry Chappell took oath of Allegiance before the Hon Edward Burgess on Feb 28, 1778" (Ref T-3:62. L-1:39).
Private in the 5th Company Lower Batalion Militia July 15, 1780 DAR records (Ref M-206)
Only two Chappells remain in Montgomery in this year, and Thomas, Henry's son, is paying tax on land in Loudoun County (Source: DAR).
1790 Montgomery Co Census records Henry (not sure if it's Jr or Sr as head of household) as one of two free adult white males, has no male minors, and three free white females living with him. (Source: http://www.census-online.com)
Thomas Chapell lives nextdoor to Henry Chapple . Thomas is one male over 16, he has one male under 16, 4 free white women, and 1 slave.
Only two Chappells remain in Montgomery County in 1790 but not in Frederick Co. anymore.
1790 Montgomery Co Census records one Henry Chapple (not sure if it's Jr or Sr) as head of this household as one of two free adult white males, with no male minors, and three free white females living with him. (Source: http://www.census-online.com). I believe Henry Sr. could have been residing with his son, Henry in Montgomery. It would make sense because he was 84 years of age in 1790, and living with family is a common occurrence with the Chappell's, as evidenced in Thomas and James' history through the Census. There would have to have been a precedent for the custom. He could have been one of the two adult males in Henry's home in 1790 in Montgomery Co. (See more info below.) We know that he was not living with Thomas anymore, because Thomas was the only adult male in his household that year. Of course, it is possible that Henry Sr. might have died before the 1790 Census and that the other adult male living with Henry was some other male relative.
Thomas Chapell was still living next door to Henry Chapple in 1790 but paying taxes on land in Loudoun County at that time and would later join the militia in Loudoun in 1794 (Source: DAR). There is no evidence to suggest that either Henry moved with him (Source of taxable information was the DAR). In Thomas' household, he is the only male over 16, he has one male under 16 (George, his oldest son?), 4 free white women (Eleanor, not sure whom else), and he owns 1 slave. There were no Chappell's in Montgomery Co. in 1800. (Source: Census online).
