Narrative

Margaret Chatfield had another brother, John, who was born about 1612 and died bef 1702. This could have been the "uncle" of Henry Norris, meaning that no connection may exist to the Long Island Chatfield or Norris families. Without knowing which uncle was being referred to this is a leap.

Margaret Norris wrote her will in 1660 but died after 1671 and before 1675 when it was probated. Presumably the debt was not cleared prior to her death. Henry Norris was no longer living near Thomas Chatfield in 1671 or later. Thomas Chatfield remained on Long Island and Henry Norris left shortly after marrying in 1668. While contact with Henry would not be impossible, why would Thomas Chatfield not have paid off his debt prior to this? And if he did, why didn't Margaret change her will to reflect the payment of the debt? Of course if the debt were owed to Margaret by John Chatfield then it would be reasonable not to change the will. This would be especially true if Henry Norris, her son, was still in Sussex, as I assume to be the case. If he were in America there would be little likelihood that the debt would be paid, and certainly not 13 to 15 years after she wrote the will. If it had not been paid in 15 years, we may assume that it would not be paid....
