Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Greg
Thanks for the mail
Nothing ties in with my tree I'm afraid - but thats about "par for the
course" with my lot - I've been stuck for about 10 years at the same dead
end.
I hope that you have better luck. I have copied this to Chatfield Group
just in case you weren't aware of it.
Also I make the same offer that I regularly make to Chatfields overseas -
that I would be pleased to do any local Sussex visiting for you and send
photographs if you have any particular village / church interest - and if
you do ask and hear nothing with a few months - then please remind me!!!
Best wishes
Gavin C

Hello. I too am a Chatfield, Greg living in Perth,
Western Australia(WA). I have recently been doing a
bit of investigation about our family tree after
meeting another clan of Chatfield's in country WA. We
have long known about each others group but have never
met until recently one of my school friends married
one of them. His brother in law is another Greg
Chatfield (kind of wierd) and I went and met them the
other day.
I came across your website by interest in two things.
My grand father is a Thomas Ashworth
Chatfield(1898-1982)(born in Australia), son to
Frederick Cecil and Norah Alesia(Hardinge)Chatield (no
dates) who were from England somewhere and
migrated(transported) to Australia. The second is that
the "country" Chatfield's Family tree has been traced
back to a Levi Chatfield "born about 1814 probably in
County Sussex England of unknown parentage", who then
moved to South Australia.He had 8 children, two born
over there. A John (Eli?) Chatfield listed as
"baptised 7 Dec 1834 at Framfield Sussex" and a Ruth
Ann Chatfield born 6 Oct. 1838 at Blackboys Framfield
Sussex. The rest were born in Australia.
Do you know anything about these two trees? We also
know a little bit about a Harriet Chatfield who died
in TAsmania, Australia. Her headstone reads died age
36 during labour of her 13th child. They did it hard
back then.
If you do know anything about these could you please
email me back.
Thankyou
Regards
Greg Chatfield

THOMAS CHATFIELD and ANN HIGGINSON
(Source: The Early History of Southampton, L.I., New York,
with Genealogies, by George Rogers Howell, M.A.,
published by Weed, Parsons and Company in 1887.)
Thomas Chatfield, the first of this name on Long Island, came to East Hampton
quite early. He had a brother Francis who settled in Guilford, CT, and
another brother George, who settled in Killingworth. Thomas removed from
Guilford to New Haven, where he married Ann d. of Rev. Francis Higginson,
and thence to East Hampton.
Mr. John Chatfield of B.H. has an old parchment having thereon a picture
of the arms of the family, probably brought to this country by his ancestor
Thomas Chatfield above mentioned. The description of these arms in heraldic
language is: Or, a griffin segreant sable, on a chief purpure three escallops
argent. Crest: An heraldic antelope's head, erased, argent, attired and
ducally gorged gules. Motto with coat of arms: Che sara sara.

3 Thomas b. 1652 and 4 John who had w. Mary, but whether ch. I know not.
3 Capt. Thomas d. Mch. 20, 1712, had s. 5 Thomas b. 1686.

Hi everyone,
For November's roll call project, I would like to give you the URLs to our
GenConnect message boards, and ask you to gather family information to post
to the boards.
I'll also include a couple of pointers on how to better utilize the boards.
Since the Rootsweb "gateway" system was put into place last April, posts to
each of the seven boards are now automatically forwarded to our mailing list.
The system has proven successful and use of the boards continues to increase.
There are seven boards -- one for QUERIES, and six for DOCUMENTS.
-----------------------------
http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/queries http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/bible_records http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/biographies http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/deeds http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/obituaries http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/pensions http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/h/CHATFIELD/wills
----------------------------
Queries:
For all Queries -- even though it may refer to one of the other
subjects.
Bible Records:
Copy the names and dates exactly as they appear in your family Bible.
Give the date the Bible was published, and also its current
owner/location.
Biographies:
Bios can be an informal narrative you've written of someone's life.
It can be a passage of a printed text -- be sure to cite your sources.
Deeds:
Deeds, land exchanges, or land grant records.
Transcribe the text and tell where the record can be located.
Obituaries:
Transcribe newspaper death notices.
Give the name of the newspaper and date of the article.
Pensions:
Military pensions records. I've found various war records at the
National Archives. Many include pension information.
Wills:
Transcribe wills verbatim and tell where the record can be located.
As you can see, the more we use the GenConnect boards, the more valuable a
research source they will become. Post your information directly to the
boards, and within seconds the post will also appear on our mailing list.
One last point -- Since posts to the boards will be seen by a wider circle of
family researchers, you may get responses from people who are not on our
mailing list. To be sure that everyone sees the resulting discussions,
you'll need to be sure you respond to the board.
Good Luck!
LaRae
