Leathley Family

John Leathley was born about 1735 and was a glass cutter, according to his will. He was also a nonconformist and probably a member of the Weigh House Independent Church, in East Cheap, London, based on the bequest in his will in 1796 to Rev John Clayton (1754-1843) the preacher and to the poor in the church.

His daughter Hannah Leathley was probably his only surviving child, based on his will. She married Nathaniel Chater who was also a glass cutter and the two men went into business together at St Dunstans Hill.

Nathaniel Chater and Hannah Chater do not seem to have any children, based on their wills. The glass making business was continued by their nephew

Chater Family

Nathaniel Chater was born about 1759 and was a glass cutter. He was the son of James Chater who was a nonconformist. His uncle John Chater was one of the founders of the London Sandemanianian meeting house. The history of the Chater Family and the Sandemanian Church has some of this history.

His brother Joseph Chater was was born about 1767 and was also a glass maker and became a Sandemanian, a nonconformist church.

In 1824 Joseph was in partnership with Samuel Hayward at St Dunstans Hill. In the announcement below, Nathaniel Rutt is named, who was also from a Sandemanian family.

Hayward Family

Samuel Hayward was born about 1752, the son of Samuel Hayward a nonconformist preacher. Samuel was a glass manufacturer and was in business with the Chater family.

Samuel Hayward was also a nonconformist, which is based on him burying many of his children at Bunhill Fields burial ground. He also married Ann Mann, his second wife, who came from a nonconformist family.

His son Samuel Hayward continued the business and became a partner in Leathley, Chater and Hayward.
