JLC was my great great great uncle. Since I live in nearby Plainville, CT, I visit Riverside at least once a year or so. If you need any up to date pictures just let me know.
Also I have worked on the Chatfield family genealogy for over 40 years and have lots of info if you want also. Right now, my genealogy is temporarily not on the computer and I can’t recall if I have you in there – I think I remember JLC having only one son – is that right?
Years ago his uniform and scabbard was on display in the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury but has not been there for years – not sure where it went.
I’d be happy to hear from you.

Both of my parents were born and raised in Waterbury, Conn. as were my oldest brother and sister.
My mother took me to Col. Chatfield’s grave and monument when I was six years old.
She informed me of who he was and is.
I shall visit his monument again soon. And pay my respects.
Kent A. Chatfield. Leland, North Carolina.

From what I remember, the sword has been replaced at least once before.
Let me know what happens. – George Cole

Col. John Lyman Chatfield was my great-great-great uncle.
One fact a relative told me that after his leg wound the doctors wanted to amputate his leg. However he refused which resulted in gangrene which soon killed him.
