Notes |
- Francis emigrated to Guilford, CT with the Kent and Sussex Co. followers of Rev. Henry Whitfield. He and his brothers were among the few listed as "Mr. and Gentleman" in Guilford's founding history. When Guilford and New Haven voted to jir plantations, Francis opposed it. He was brought to court before the magistrates and deputies on Aug. 14, 1645 because of this. He died unmarried two years later and his estate went to brothers, Thomas and George Chatfield. He apparently was buried in a Cathedral back in England after his death. (C-1420, 1453)
