In November, 1826, Abraham Lemaster and his son-in-law, Charles Hatfield, crossed the Illinois, at Beard's Ferry, and traveled in a northeasterly direction to what is now Bainbridge township, halting at Willis O'Neal's vacant cabin, in which the two families took up winter quarters. James B. Atwood, was then the only family residing in the northern or central part of the township, the others having moved away as above stated, and McKee being absent. In the spring Lemaster purchased McKee's improvements on section 20, and raised a crop, but was compelled to leave there on account of the millions of mosquitoes. He lived for a few years upon the prairies and again returned to his place. About 1846, he went to Kentucky on a visit, and while there died. His wife died in the township. His descendents are still living in the county. Mr. Hatfield first located on the prairie north of Rushville, where he lived about five years, and then moved into Bainbridge, where he has ever since continued to reside. His house is on section 20, and he and his wife are still happy together, having lived a wedded life for nearly sixty years. Hugh E., his son and his daughter, the wife of John Dodds, are living in the county. The first school in Woodstock Township was taught by John Taylor in 1827. The first school in the northern part of the township was taught by Charles Hatfield, in 1833, in a house built that fall of elm poles in an elm grove near Joshua Griffith's. The pupils and teacher mixed the mud on the floor of the school house, after school began, with which they daubed the house at recesses and noon. Pupils in attendance were William T. and Isaac Black, children of Richard Black; Sarah and Rebecca, children of Jacob Fowler; Houston and Elihu, children of Allen Alexander; James and Thomas, children of Isaac Sanders; Anderson, Isaac S. and Pressly, children of Mrs. Amelia S. Riley. The day before Christmas Anderson and Pressly Riley took the teacher out and wallowed him in snow and left him tied, because he would not treat to whiskey. The teacher treated to two gallons of whiskey on New Year's.   In 1838 Charles Hatfield payed tax on: 1 horse value $30 4 cattle $ 45 1 clock $ 10 Column 11: Hogs, Sheep, Household furnishings $ 50 For A total value of $ 135, so he owed $0.68 for tax ------------------------------------------ Name: Charles Hatfield Spouse's Name: Maria Lamaster Event Date: 24 Aug 1822 Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I00340-9 , System Origin: Indiana-EASy , GS Film number: 549439   "Indiana, Marriages, 1780-1992," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XF3L-NQW : accessed 01 Oct 2014), Charles Hatfield and Maria Lamaster, 24 Aug 1822; citing reference ; FHL microfilm 549439 ------------------------------------------ Name: Charles Hatfield Event Type: Marriage Registration Place: Scott, Indiana, United States Marriage License Date: 24 Aug 1822 Residence Place: , Scott, Indiana Gender: Male Spouse's Name: Mary Lamaster Spouse's Residence Place: , Scott, Indiana Spouse's Gender: Female Page: 37 Number of Images: 1 GS Film number: 000549439 , Digital Folder Number: 005206243 , Image Number: 00189   "Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KFZ5-F7N : accessed 01 Oct 2014), Charles Hatfield and Mary Lamaster, ; citing Scott County; FHL microfilm 000549439 ------------------------------------------ Name: Charles Hatfield Event Type: Census Event Year: 1850 Event Place: Bainbridge, Schuyler, Illinois, United States Gender: Male Age: 47 Race: White Birth Year (Estimated): 1803 Birthplace: Kentucky House Number: 113 Household Role Gender Age Birthplace Charles Hatfield M 47 Kentucky Mary Hatfield F 45 Kentucky John Hatfield M 21 Illinois Hugh E Hatfield M 19 Illinois William F Hatfield M 16 Illinois Andrew Hatfield M 11 Illinois Charles W Hatfield M 8 Illinois James H Hatfield M 5 Illinois Josephine Hatfield F 0 Illinois Household ID: 116 , Line Number: 9 , Affiliate Name: The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) , Affiliate Publication Number: M432 , Affiliate Film Number: 128 , GS Film Number: 442916 , Digital Folder Number: 004181045 , Image Number: 00227   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11661-128497-68?cc=1401638 "United States Census, 1850," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M853-9M2 : accessed 01 Oct 2014), Charles Hatfield, Bainbridge, Schuyler, Illinois, United States; citing family 116, NARA microfilm publication M432 --------------------------------------------- Name: Charles Hatfield Event Type: Census Event Year: 1870 Event Place: Illinois, United States Gender: Male Age: 66 Race: White Race (Original): W Birth Year (Estimated): 1803-1804 Birthplace: Kentucky Page Number: 10 Household Role Gender Age Birthplace Charles Hatfield M 66 Kentucky Mary Hatfield F 64 Kentucky Josephine Hatfield F 21 Illinois Adaline Hatfield F 5 Illinois Elizabeth Hatfield F 3 Illinois Household ID: 72 , Line Number: 28 , Affiliate Name: The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) , Affiliate Publication Number: M593 , GS Film number: 000545775 , Digital Folder Number: 004263242 , Image Number: 00014   https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11834-140099-71?cc=1438024 "United States Census, 1870," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M6W8-CFC : accessed 01 Oct 2014), Charles Hatfield, Illinois, United States; citing p. 10, family 72, NARA microfilm publication M593, FHL microfilm 000545775 ------------------------------------------ Name: Charles Hatfield Event Type: Census Event Year: 1880 Event Place: Bainbridge, Schuyler, Illinois, United States Gender: Male Age: 76 Marital Status: Married Race: White Race (Original): W Occupation: Farmer Relationship to Head of Household: Self Relationship to Head of Household (Original): Self Birth Year (Estimated): 1804 Birthplace: Kentucky, United States Father's Birthplace: Delaware, United States Mother's Birthplace: Virginia, United States Affiliate Name: The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Affiliate Publication Number: T9 Affiliate Film Number: 0250 Household Role Gender Age Birthplace Charles Hatfield Self M 76 Kentucky, United States Mary Hatfield Wife F 74 Kentucky, United States Adaline Hatfield Granddaughter F 15 Illinois, United States Lizzie Hatfield Granddaughter F 13 Illinois, United States District: 261 , Sheet Number and Letter: 315A , GS Film Number: 1254250 , Digital Folder Number: 004240553 , Image Number: 00114   "United States Census, 1880," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MXKN-NM1 : accessed 01 Oct 2014), Charles Hatfield, Bainbridge, Schuyler, Illinois, United States; citing sheet 315A, NARA microfilm publication T9
