Chauncey, the son of Richmond Township settlers John Windover and Lois Pringle, married Melissa A. Bradshaw in 1834. According to Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, Chauncey was a "man of great force of character and executive ability; at an early age he took a leading part in the community. Starting with one hundred acres of land in Richmond, he had acquired over seven hundred acres. He farmed on a large scale..." Chauncey served as a magistrate as well as a town councillor.[1]
