CHATFIELD FAMILY.
Thomas Chatfield, the first of this name on Long Island, came to E. H. quite early. He had a brother Francis who settled in Guil- ford, Ct., and another brother George, who settled in Killingworth. Thomas removed from Guilford to New Haven, where he married Ann d. of Rev. Francis Higginson, and thence to E. H.
Mr. John Chatfield of B. H. has an old parchment having thereon a picture of the arms of the family, probably brought to this country by his ancestor Thomas Chatfield above mentioned. The description of these arms in heraldic language is : Or, a griffin segreant sable, on a chief purpure three escal- lops argent. Crest : An heraldic antelope's head, erased, argent, attired and ducally gorged gules.

CLARK FAMILY.
This family has had no representatives in Southampton for gen- erations, having disappeared by death and removal. The name of Samuel Clark first appears on a jury list of 1654 and again on the list of 1657. Two of the name appear in the second generation, possibly brothers, as two in the same family were not nnfrequently given the same name at that period - but more likely cousins.
1 Samuel1 (of the list of 1657) had w. Susanna and d. between May and July, 1679, and willed to ch. 2 Samuel2, 3 Edmund', 4 Sarah2, 5 Susanna2, 6 Mary2, 7 Martha2 and 8 Hannah .?
2 Samnel2 of North Sea had w. Sarah and d. Mch. 1, 1699. He left as by will ch. 9 Samuel3, 10 Eliphalet", 11 Elisha3, 12 Susanna3, 13 Rachel3, 14 Mary3, 15 John3 and 16 Esther3, the last four being then under age.
9 Samuel3 had ch. as by his will 17 Samuel4, 18 Job4, 19 Phebe4 w. of -- Rose, 20 Matthew4, 21 Mary4 w. of Thomas (?) Lup- ton and 22 Nathan.
17 Samuel had probably a son 23 Elisha5, as in 1721 an Elisha is mentioned in record as the son of Samuel C.
The other Samuel of age to belong to the second generation may be marked as 24 Samuel ?. He lived at Old Town, m. 1st Esther or Ilester White July 11, 1678, and 2d Hannah -, and had ch. 25 James3 b. Apr. 19, 1679, 26 Phebe3 b. Aug. 17, 1681, 27 Jeremiah b. Feb. 18, 1685, and as by will other ch. 28 William3, 29 Charles3, 30 Daniel3, 31 Samuel3, 32 Hannah3. His will was proved Apr. 21, 1709. - 26 Phebe3 m. a Meaker or Meacham. The order of the ages of the ch. is not known beyond those given above.
25 James3 had w. Althea and ch. 33 Joseph+ and 34 Stephen4

Another family of this name appears in the second generation in the person of Richard Clark, whom we designate as 35 Richard ?. He had a son 36 Richard3 who moved to Elizabeth, N. J., b. about 1661. 36 Richard3 had ch. 37 Richard4, 38 John4, 39 Samuel4, 40 Joshua4, 41 Ephraim4, 42 Thomas4 and 43 Benjamin4.

COOK FAMILY.

Martha d. of John Cooper of Southampton and ch. 2 John2, 3 Ellis2, 4 Martha2, 5 Elizabeth2 and 6 Mary2. His youngest son 7 Abial? or Abiel was born soon after his death. 1 Ellis' lived on the residence of the late George Herrick. While retaining this homestead he removed to and resided at Mecox as early as 1659 and after his death (which occurred as I suppose about 1663), in 1690 his widow and son Abial unite in exchanging the Southampton homestead for one in Mill Neck (as Watermill was then called) belonging to Thomas Stephens, who had m. 5 Elizabeth2 Oct. 20, 1675.
2 John2 b. about 1656 d. 1719 had w. Elizabeth and ch. 8 John3, 9 Obadiah3 b. 1687 and d. s. p. 1733, 10 Elias3, 11 Jonathan3 b. 1700 and 12 Martha3 who m. Joseph Fordham.

John the house and barn formerly owned by Ellis C. deceased, brother of the testator, and land at Killis's pond and a 50 commonage. To s. Elias land in Hogneck and Bridge Hampton and a 50 commonage. To s. Obadiah land at Scuttlehole and at Sag Harbor (then called Great Meadow) and a 50 commonage. To s. Jonathan his own dwelling_ house after death of his wife and a 50 commonage. To d.

Seven families of the name of Cook and five of the name of Cooke are mentioned in Burke's Gen. Armory as using coat armor.
Ellis Cook, s. of Ellis the first, when a young man, cleared up a place, built a house on it, and then (maidens, it is said, being scarce in Southampton) went over to Connecticut for a wife. After staying there for some time, and having found a young lady to suit him, her father asked a friend one day what young Cook's business was that detained him so long in that neighbor- hood. He was told that the young man was courting his daughter. " Why don't he ask me then ? " said the father. And seeing Cook shortly afterward he repeated the question to him. "That is just what I was about to do," said Ellis ; and thereupon the follow- ing dialogue ensued : " Where do you live ?" "In Southampton, L. I." " Have you a church there ?" (meaning a church organiza- tion.) " Yes." " A minister ?" "Yes." "A meeting-house ?" " Yes." " Have you got a house to live in ?" "Yes." " Well, then, young man, you may have my daughter," and, the maiden assenting, the marriage soon followed, and Ellis led his bride to her new home in the forests of Southampton.
COOPER FAMILY.
John Cooper of Lynn came over from England in 1635 in the Hopewell, aged 41, with w. Wibroe and ch. Mary, aged 13, John, 10, Thomas, 7, and Martha, 5. He was from Olney in Buckinghamshire. He was one of the twenty heads of families who formed the associa- tion for the settlement of Southampton in 1639. He was made freeman at Boston Dec. 6, 1636 ; was one of the elders of the church when it was organized at Lynn, and in 1638 he is recorded

HISTORY OF SOUTHAMPTON.
as owning 200 acres of land in that town. Some New England writers have mistaken him for another John Cooper, who was one of the settlers of New Haven in 1638. But the New Haven Cooper does not appear to have had a son Thomas, while we have trace not only of every one of his children as above given, in Southampton, but also at least of three others, daughters, born in this country and married in Sonthampton. Twenty-four families of this name in England are mentioned in Burke's Gen. Armory as bearing coats of arms.
As above 1 John1 b. 1594 d. 1662 had w. Wibroe and ch. 2 Mary2 b. 1622 w. of Henry Pierson, 3 John? b. 1625, 4 Thomas2 b. 1628, 5 Martha? w. of Ellis Cook, 6 a d. who m. Thomas Top- ping, 7 a d. who m. John Topping, and 8 a d. who married James or John White. The last three are known only through the will of 1 John1, which gives legacies to Thomas Topping's son Thomas, to John Topping's d. Sarah, to his d. White's ch., to his d. Cook's ch., to his son, Henry Pierson, and closes thus : " And give the same counsell to all and every of you as Joseph gave unto your brethren that you fall not at difference." The date of the will is May 6, 1662, and speaks of the testator as being sick and infirm.

He m. 2d Sophia J. d. of Josiah Foster. He was a sea captam in the whaling enterprise and when in command of the Manhattan of Sag Harbor, having rescued twenty-two ship- wrecked Japanese from starvation and death, repaired with his ship boldly to the port of Jeddo to deliver there those he had saved. This was the first visit of an American vessel to the harbor of that city and occurred in the year 1845. The act made a great and favorable impression on the minds of that people and doubtless made a negotiation of a treaty of commerce with the United States by Commodore Perry more casy of accomplishment in his subse- quent visit. He died Apr. 24, 1872, at Barranquilla, Colombia, S A., where he had gone a few months previous in the hope of a restoration to health.
