Bit more info you may or may not have:
HATFIELD, Joseph MT 61m 65w - African, farmer; RC
Jane 56m - - Irish
Stephen 22 -
William 20 *
Elizabeth 18 -
Jain 14 -
So, Joseph b. @1810-1816, widowed by 1881. Not sure what to make of the comments after he and Jane.
Jane b. @1815, Stephen, @1849, William, @1851, "Elizabeth" @1853, and "Jain" @1857.
MT stands for Marshalltown at head of St. Mary's Bay.
Stephen was b. 1848, Brighton, Digby Co, NS, d. Macaan/Maccan, Cumberland Co NS, on 21-Oct-1913, married Abigail Kenwood (Henwood) on 11-Jul-1874 at Parrsboro, Cumberland Co, NS., had Jennie (1876), Ira (1880), Burton (1884), and Minnie (1887). "Abby" was 16 when they married, probably born in Parrsboro to parents Charles and Ann. When he died in 1913, he was listed as either 84 or 54 (the latter would be correct, obviously), he died in Macaan, a pauper, married, born in Digby Co, NS, died of stroke with secondary listed as heart disease. He was CoE at time of his passing.
HATFIELD, William P - 30m 41m seaman
Emily - 38m 51m
James - 14 - step son
Charles - 11 21 "
Archie - 4 14
Michel - 2 10
Samuel - - 8
Edna - - 6
So, it would SEEM, William married an Emily, who had been previously married, and had a son, James UNK, who MAY have been adopted by William? Perhaps the later-born children are both of theirs? Archie married an Annie. listed as 31 on 17-Oct-1910 when he died at Weymouth, Digby Co, but listed as born in Port Gilbert, NS.
At Weymouth, Digby Co, NS, Archibald Hatfield, aged 30, bachelor, laborer, married Annie Maria Stoddard, 25, widowed, both residing Weymouth Mills, he was born per marriage record in Doucetteville, s/o Wm. and Emily, father was a carpenter. Annie b. St. John NFLD, d/o James and Sarah. Her father also listed as a carpenter. William and Annie had a son, Samuel Whitney Hatfield, b. 22-Jun-1909 at Weymouth Mills, Digby Co, NS, listed as coloured.
Must be the older Samuel, shown above as b. @1883, who at 39 in 1926 (would put birth closer to 1887), but listed birth as Doucetteville, Digby Co, NS, his father as William Charles Hatfield, and his mother as Emeline Melancon.
So, surely the parents fit, and it seems so does Doucetteville. In any case, on 30-Nov-1926, at Yarmouth, NS, he married Mary Frances Muise, 23, spinster, b. Eelbrook, Yarmouth Co, NS, d/o John Muise and Sarah Baker.
