CHAPEL FAMILIES.


William Chapel, the ancestor of the Chapels of Mont- ville, first appears an inhabitant of New London about 1653. In 1667 he was associated with William Peake in the pur- chase of various lots on the west side of the town plot, which they divided between them. A considerable portion of the land purchased by them and which lay on the southeastern slope of what is now called " Prospect Hill," was sold to Ann Latimer, widow of Robert Latimer.


The Cedar Grove Cemetery, which was laid out in 1851, was a part of the Latimer purchase. Mr. Chapel's residence was on the Cohanzie road, on what is now called "Cavarly Farm." His wife's name was Christian He died in 1689 or 1690. His widow afterwards married Edward Stallion in 1693, by whom she had two children. He was drowned by falling out of his canoe the 14th day of May, 1703, near Groton shore.


The descendants of William Chapel were numerous, many of which settled in the North Parish of New London, now Montville, at a place now called " Chapel Hill."

HAUGHTON FAMILIES.


Richard Haughton first appears at New London in July, 1651, having abont that time supposed to have come from Salem, Mass., and located at New London. He was probably a son of Rev. Henry Hanghton, who was an elder of the church in Salem, and died there in 1629. Richard Haughton re- ceived a grant of land from Uneas, the Mohegan Sachem, Angust 19, 1658. This land was located at Massapeag, and lay on both sides of the cove, afterwards called " Haughtons ('ove." A portion of this land was subsequently occupied by his descendants, on which Sampson Haughton built a mansion house, which became noted in after years as " Haugh- ton Tavern."
