Silas Barnum Chatfield and His Family: Connecticut, New York, and Wisconsin, (Paperback)

SILAS BARNUM CHATFIELD, the son of Levi and Sarah Runnels Chatfield, moved with his parents from New Milford, Connecticut to Otselic, Chenango County, New York when he was a young boy. Silas, an orphan at the age of ten was bound to a nearby farmer until Silas turned eighteen. Silas traveled for a few years until finally settling in Troy, Walworth County, Wisconsin. Silas married twice, prospered as a farmer and mill owner, built a large farmhouse, and raised a large family. The farmhouse that Silas Chatfield built in 1879 still stands today, and many of his descendants still live in the area.
