Pioneer and General History of Geauga County, Ohio:
Isaac Chatfield moved into town and settled on lot forty, coming from Connecticut, with his wife and children, Lucius, Albert, Almira, Levi, Nathan, Ruthann, Charles, Charlotte, Maryette, LaFayette, and Georgianna. When he settled in town he was considered quite wealthy, for those times, by the people. He paid down, or nearly so for about three hundred acres of land. Mr. Chatfield erected a large two-story house, took an active part in town politics, and having attended college, and being one of the best readers, he read sermons, and, after the organization of the Episcopalian church, he conducted services, in the absence of the minister; also, he taught school several winters. After the children were all married off, the parents resided in that township until 1860 when they sold to Ozro and Orlow Newcomb. They removed to Ridgeville, Ohio, and have since died.

Isaac Chatfield — Like his wife, he was born in 1787. College educated, he was a knowledgeable farmer and politically popular, elected as Geauga County's Land Lister in 1821. A good reader, he often delivered passages to members of the Episcopal Church, the first religious edifice constructed in Middlefield in 1829. After dividing among his children what land he had not sold off to others, he and Lucy moved to North Ridgefield in 1860, where he died shortly before the outbreak of the war.
