    "...born about 1711, or 1717...." "About 1750 and 1756 Benjamin Scovel bought of Samuel Bump and others sixty acres of land in the southeastern part of Middletown, near East Haddam, and the Salmon River. When the town of Chatham was incorporated in October, 1767, this land fell within its boundaries. Here Benjamin lived until his death."
