Thomas Chatfield, the first of this name on Long Island, came to East Hampton quite early. He had a brother Francis who settled in Guilford,CT, and another brother George, who settled in Killingworth. Thomas removed from Guilford to New Haven, where he married Ann d. of Rev. Francis Higginson, and thence to East Hampton.
Mr. John Chatfield of B.H. has an old parchment having thereon a picture of the arms of the family, probably brought to this country by his ancestor Thomas Chatfield above mentioned. The description of these arms in heraldic language is: Or, a griffin segreant sable, on a chief purpurethree escallops argent. Crest: An heraldic antelope's head, erased,argent, attired and ducally gorged gules. Motto with coat of arms: Chesara sara.
