http://dbpedia.org/resource/Chesapeake,_Indiana an entity of type: Thing

Chesapeake was the first town in Steuben Township, Warren County, Indiana, which was formed in 1834. It was located about two miles east of present-day town of Marshfield and was the site of the first meetings of the township trustees in the 1830s. County Agent Luther Tillotson lived south of the town and may have had some involvement in its creation. Chesapeake consisted of at least several houses, a country store operated by William Newell and Thomas Washburn, and a blacksmith shop. There was also a school house there named for the town for many years, but this also is gone. rdf:langString

An 1883 history of the county notes that "comparatively nothing can be learned regarding this little town... The village began early and then died early, as good-looking babies are said to do."
