I think, regretfully, that you have to cast a very wide net for a family in Chatham: Sunderland, Yarmouth, Portsmouth or Plymouth would be equally feasible for their origins.
I have West ancestors from Norfolk - not that I appear to carry any related chromosomes - and know that the male members of that family can all prove their kinship back to Stuart times with DNA.
