Joel Chatfield, son of Elnathan and Hannah, built the house a few hundred feet west of his fathers house, on the south bank of the stream, the house which was after owned and occupied by his son Leman. He was one of the first society's committee of the Episcopal church, now Trinity church, in 1707. There was in his time a grist-mill a few rods northeast of the house, with two run of stone. One pair were French burr stones for which he sent to France, nothing of the kind having been found in this country at that time. He ground wheat extensively, large quantities of it being grown in this vicinity, and for years he supplied Yale College with all the wheat flour used there.
