Kitchen family

The branch of the Hatfield family represented in this collection is descended from Nathaniel Hatfield. Nathaniel Hatfield was born in Delaware around 1762; later, he would marry Nancy Judy in Virginia. The Hatfields came to Clark County, Ohio, in 1808, settling in Springfield Township (just northeast of Pitchin). Nathaniel fought in the War of 1812 and died on August 21, 1812 (buried in Garlough Cemetery, Green Township). Nancy died in 1851 in Clark County. Nathaniel and Nancy are known to have given birth to six children: an unidentified daughter (1794?-August 19, 1812), Martin (1796?-August 26, 1820), John (April 3, 1798-June 14, 1883), Elizabeth (1800?-August 18, 1812), James (December 17, 1801-October 28, 1855), and Samuel (May 18, 1803-June 3, 1842).
