Biography

DNA tests conducted by Dietz/Perham Ancestry dot com Tree show Charles to be a close match—brother, 1/2 brother, or 1st cousin to 2 sons of John Hatfield (1775-after 1836). Based on a comparison of migration of Whitely Hatfield (John’s father), John Hatfield and his family and Charles it does appear that Charles is a part of this family and is John’s son.
