2nd of 9 children of ISAAC WILLARD CHATFIELD & ELIZA ANN HARRINGTON
Died: at birth

=========
There are three records for Clark; Isaac lists this child on his Civil War pension application as Clark Charles Chatfield (no initial W.), there is the infant's headstone and a written burial record stating his birth/death date and parents' names—listing him as C.W.C. Chatfield. It is unknown what the W. stood for (though probably Willard—his father's middle name). Clark and Charles are the names of Isaac's two brothers and Eliza also has a brother named Clark. A lamb is carved at the top of his headstone, common for an infant who died.

Isaac's mother, Lovina (Mastick) Chatfield (died Apr 1858) is buried in the same cemetery, as may be Elizabeth Chatfield (born and died Aug 1859), the 1st child of Clark Samuel Chatfield & Louisa Tankersley.
