HI, I am researching the Owen John Hatfield family who came from Kent Co Murderkill 100
De. Owen was the son of Wm and Mary White Hatfield of that place and was born in 1773.
Levi Hatfield b 1795 was their son. I am not sure but think that Lydia was this man's
daughter. Levi had a son Owen D who was b 1819 in Mountgomery Co OH. The family then
moved to Rush Co IN in about 1824 with the Thomas Hatfield and Judge Benjamin Archer
families. Levi died and was buried in Tipton Co c 1853. From Rush Co Owen and his wife
Telinda Jackson md to Allen Co roanoke PO where they had six children. Their son Wm was md
to Laura Louisa Cummings in Mahaska Co Iowa in 1866. This couple had two sons Ulysess
Milton and Willard Clifton. Willard remained single and Ulysess md Emma Fetterhoff
Hatfield. These are my grandparents. I have a lot of material on this line if you are
interested--the DE part of the family was very active in the REV and later the War of
1812.
Research has shown that there is a distinct possiblity that the line eventually connects
to the Thomas Hatfield lines of NJ through a marriage in about 1700 of William Hatfield to
Audling Whitely which would explain naming patterns.
