Chapal, Antoinine

Villa Bel Air

Antonine Chapal settled in Bethpage about W.W.I. He married a widow and they had a son, Robert Irving Chapal and a daughter Francoise. Their home was very large and there were at least two other "cottages" on the same estate (this estate was located on Broadway across from the JFK Middle School of today). The Chapals had servants and were wealthy furriers from New York City. They also maintained lands/vineyards over in France.
