Greetings!

Our family will be traveling through New England, and on our route of travel, we're trying to find our family's ancestral home. The house is a center chimney home built in 1664 called Chepados, which used to be part of a ninety acre farm of the same name. Supposedly it is somewhere on Col. Ledyard Highway, just south of Quakertown, Ct. Here is a picture, from the web:



I'm hoping someone can help me pinpoint an address or a map location. We've been able to track down the cemetery plot for our patriarch, and would love to be able to find this house too.

Thanks for your time!

Good luck. It is beautiful old house. I tried Google streetview just south of the Quakertown cemetery, but the trees are too dense to recognize a house.

It seems that part of the area is now in the town of Ledyard, CT. I'm pretty sure the house is now in Ledyard too. Try contacting the Ledyard Historical Society and see if they can help pin point the actual house

Try them at research@ledyardhistory.org or you may be able to find a phone number on the internet for them.

The house is just north of Old Mystic on the Ledyard Highway, but well back from the road (there's a mailbox on the street at the driveway)
It is occupied, not sure if they are visitable...
