| THE CHATFIELD STORY |
| Lucy Tomlinson Chatfield — The grandmother and matriarch.Lucy was a wise and sturdy frontier woman. Everyone called her “Grandma Lucy.” She was born in 1787 and was raised in the strict New England culture of Woodbridge, Connecticut. At the age of 19, she married Isaac Chatfield of Derby Connecticut and settled in Seymour, both localities within six miles of her birthplace. She gave birth to her first five children in Seymour: Lucius Napoleon (1807), Lucy Almira (1809), Albert Alonzo (1811), Levi Tomlinson (1813), and Nathan Stoddard—her fifth—in 1815. The following year (1816) Lucy, Isaac, and the five children moved west to the rugged, remote, undeveloped land of Middlefield, Geauga County, Ohio—then called Batavia—one of the Connecticut Land Company’s fledgling townships. In Middlefield, Lucy would bear six more children, Georgiana, her last-born in 1829. Sadly, she would lose five of her 11 children before the war started, a bitter lesson she could not ignore. After removing to North Ridgeville and then losing her husband, her letters from 1862 forward read like sermons—firm, God-fearing instruction from an experienced pioneer woman. She was dearly loved. Even Margaret, her son’s wife, called her “Mother.” Lucy was 75 years old when Edward enlisted.Isaac Chatfield — The grandfather. Like his wife, he was born in 1787. College educated, he was a knowledgeable farmer and politically popular, elected as Geauga County’s Land Lister in 1821. A good reader, he often delivered passages to members of the Episcopal Church, the first religious edifice constructed in Middlefield in 1829. After dividing among his children what land he had not sold off to others, he and Lucy moved to North Ridgefield in 1860, where he died shortly before the outbreak of the war. |
