His gravestone in St. Stephen's Churchyard, Tusket, Nova Scotia commemorates the most horrible mutiny and murder in the long history of Nova Scotia shipping, when Capt. Hatfield and his officers were brutally murdered and their bodies chopped up and thrown overboard, off the coast of France, in the "Mutiny on the Lennie", a Yarmouth ship owned by W. D. Lovitt.
Native of Tusket, Capt. Hatfield was a son of Capt. James Hatfield and a grandson of Abraham Marsh Hatfield, one of three Hatfield brothers who came to Tusket following the Revolution.
Finally taken into custody by the French, the mutineers were tried and hanged by the English.
