Sixth Generation


87. Anna Chatfield / Chatvelt was born about 1615. She died about 1664 at the age of 49.

Anna Chatfield / Chatvelt and Johannes ver Veelen / Verveelen were married on 14 September 1636. On p. 219, it is stated that Anne Chatfield was married to Joannes Verveelen
on 14 September 1637, and this (incorrect) date is the basis for the
statement in p. 213, footnote 6, that Joannes Verveelen is first attested at
Geertruidenberg in September 1637.
However, the true date is 1636, as kindly brought to our attention by Kay
Strand, of West Bountiful, Utah; and the actual record, with the date at the
top of the page, can be seen on the website of the Regionaal Archief Tilburg
at

Prior to its digitization, copies of the record were being passed from hand
to hand which did not show the entire page, and some of the information was
lost. Nevertheless, we are deeply grateful to all those involved in its
discovery and transmission, as it was the impetus for the present article.
Johannes ver Veelen / Verveelen was born in 1616. He died 1699/1701 in USA. An early settler of New Harlem in New Netherland, USA. Personally I do not feel there is any reasonable doubt that Thomas Chatfield was the father of Verveelen’s wife, but as no documentary evidence has been found which explicitly avows the relationship, some qualification of the claim had to be made in the title.

Anna Chatfield / Chatvelt and Johannes ver Veelen / Verveelen had the following children:
