Go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~chatfhs/genealog.html and you will find enormous data on Chatfield and Levi and his descendants. Eli and Harriet Jane had 4 children before emigrating, Eli 1832-1847, John 1834-BEF 1839, Ruth Ann 1836-1930 and Ada Augusta 31 Jul 1836- BEF 1939.
I spent two months in Adelaide during the summer of 2009-2010 and saw the records in the State library and found the tombstone of Ruth Ann 14 Aug 1930 and her brother Eli who was drowned in Adelaide on 6 Nov 1847. My site at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=chatfield-plus has many details in genealogical format.
Eli senior was a farmhand and not a sailor, he did not go to Adelaide before emigrating.
The following are my notes made in Adelaide 2009-2010.

His Application was made to John Elliott in England on March 18th, 1839.
The SHIP MANIFEST records that Levi Chatfield was accompanied by Ann, John and Ann.
Sadly Levi Chatfield died in 1853 a few months before his 12th child was born - she was named after her mother, Harriet Jane.
Levi's wife married again in 1860 and died in Adelaide in 1875.

It seems that Levi Chatfield and Arthur Chatfield were both seamen who travelled from England to South Australia
and then back to England before deciding to emigrate to South Australia.
