5. There is an Account Book still preserved at Charlottetown, P. E. I., that was kept by Benjamin Chappell, a wheelwright, employed by Robert Clark. Chappell is said by his descendants to have been an Anglican. On 1 mo. 31, 1775, he wrote the "Number of persons in Mr. Clark's service or else dependent on his store at New London." Under the subheading, "Elizabethtown," are the names: James McDonald, Joseph Rook (sic), and the following without Christian names: Chator, Adams, Smith, Warren, Anderson, Alkisson, Jeomans (or Yeomans), Coffin, Cole, Churchward, Hopkins; the number in each family, and also various workmen and fishermen, unnamed, are listed. Total, 129. The name "Elizabethtown" has disappeared. What seems to be that locality is now called French River. It is on the north side of the Island, near New London.
