Notes for Francis Chatfield:
Bapt. at North Mundham between Feb 24, 1616/7 and May 11, 1617, Francis probably d. unmarried at Guilford, New Haven, CT about 1647.
Francis is named in the wills of both his parents. He emigrated to New England in 1639 among the Kent and Sussex followers of Rev. Henry Whitfield, who founded and settled Guilford, New Haven, CT.
"For twenty years Whitfield was a conforminst of the established church but through many of those years his home had been a place of refuge for the pious nonconformists. This ministry was viewed with disapproval by the reigning English hierarchy of the day as more and more restrictions were put upon the leaders of the Church. Those who did not obey the regulations handed down by the Archbishop were persecuted and chastised, sometimes to the point of imprisonment and even loss of life. When he was cited to appear before the High Commission Court and censured for his actions, Whitfield resigned his position in 1638 as head of the Ockley Church and made his plans to join others in emigrating to New England. Two of Whitfield's old friends had already settled plantations in CT. It was decided that the young families from Kent, Surrey and Sussex who had become followers of the Rev. Whitfield because their principles and opinions were similar to his own would also settle in this southern part of New England."..."The voyage on the ship "St. John", captained by a Mr. Richard Russell, was actually begun about May 20th."
He and his brothers were among the few early settlers of Guilford to whom the designations "Mr." and "gentlemen" were applied. He was among the original 25 signers of the plantation covenant.
Francis opposed the combination of the plantation of Guilford with that of New Haven, and for this, on Aug 14, 1645, he was arraigned before the magistrate and deputies. Francis d. about two years after in 1647, probably unmarried, and his estate was divided between his brothers Thomas and George Chatfield, who immigrated with him in 1639.
