==============
New Haven Probate Records, Vol 12 p.272:
Administration on the estate of Elnathan Chatfield of Milford was granted in August 1778 to Raymond Sanford, in the right of his wife, Rebecca, daughter of the deceased. Mention is made of eight children, four unnamed; Hannah Chatfield was appointed guardian to the daughter Sarah.
==============
Seymour Past & Present states he purchased land on Mar 24, 1762. He built a saw mill and a corn mill which he passed on to his oldest son Joel in 1778, who built a much larger mill on the west side, two stories in height, the first mill being only one story and a half.

Elnathan lived just east of what is now the Seymour line, on the north side of Bladens Brook. This was within the limits of the town of Milford until Jan 1784, when the town of Woodbridge was incorporated. When the town of Bethany was incorporated in 1832, and Bladens Brook was made a part of the boundary, the site of the house was in Bethany. The house was a few rods north of the house afterward occupied by Oliver S. Chatfield and now owned by his daughter Mrs. F.C. Ford, which is crossed by the Seymour and Woodbridge town line.
