Dear Sir:-
Am desirous of joining the D.A.R. in this City. My great great grandfather Chapel was a soldier in the Rev. War from the state of Conn., living near New London- possibly at Montville, New London Co., Ct. He died after the war and his widow, Abigail Latimer Chapel came to New York State, Tompkins Co. with her son Joshua Chapel (who was a soldier in the war of 1812) and received a Rev. War pension until her death. The P.O. from which she received the pension may have been Trumbulls Corners, Newfield- Co., N.Y. Tompkins Co., N.Y.- but it was some place in Tompkins Co.
What I wish to find out is the name of the grandfather Chapel in the Rev. War and would like to know if you can give me this information and any other data shown on the war records.
Should there be any charge for the work please advise.
Respectfully,
