===================
OLIVER STODDARD CHATFIELD, son of Joel and Ruth, in his earlier years, tried life on the sea but after some experience in the shipping trade between New Haven and the West Indies was content to remain on the land. He was for some years captain of a military company in Bethany and ran his father's sawmill, furnishing the timber for the older Yale College buildings, for the first M.E. church that formerly stood on the corner of the New Haven Green, and for other prominent buildings of that period.
He married in 1822 Abigail Tuttle, daughter of Amasa and Sybil (Wooster) Tuttle, who lived near Quassapaug Lake, in Middlebury. She was born March 28, 1802; was for sixtyseven years a member of the Seymour M.E. church, and died April 14, 1887. They made their home in the fine old family mansion which stands on the New Haven road exactly on the Woodbridge town line, but after the incorporation of the town of Seymour Mr. Chatfield was accounted a resident thereof. This place is now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Mary J. Ford.
He was a member of Morning Star Lodge, F. & A.M., of Seymour, and a Royal Arch Mason, and at his death was one of the oldest in the state. He was one of the most liberal contributors for the building of the second Methodist church in 1847. He owned five farms, in Seymour, Woodbridge and Bethany.
