  • 11. ELDER WILLIAM HATCH (William, Thomas, John the Younger, Thomas, Thomas, John), of Ashford, Wye, and Sandwich, co. Kent, and of Scituate in the Plymouth Colony, woollen draper and merchant, born about 1598, died at Scituate 6 Nov. 1651. He probably married first —— ;* and secondly, probably at Thanington, near Canterbury, co. Kent, by licence of 9 July 1624, JANE YOUNG of Thanington, .... etc.
  • Child, probably by first wife:
    • i. .... etc.
    • * Although in the marriage licence of 9 July 1624 William Hatch is described as a bachelor, it seems necessary to assume that this statement is incorrect and is probably due to a clerical error. In a will dated 3 Mar. 1681/2, signed by Walter Hatch, son of Elder William, 4 Mar. 1681/2, but never proved, Walter Hatch gives his age as "59 yeares," and therefore he was born about 1623. In Aug. 1643 Walter Hatch is on the list of those able to bear arms, that is, he was then at least 16 years of age. In the will of his father, dated 5 Nov. 1651, Walter Hatch is named before his brother William. In the division of the personal estate of his father he signs first, and the document is in his handwriting. In various other documents in which he is named with his only surviving brother, William, he is always named first. Walter, therefore, must have been the eldest son of Elder William, and the child of a marriage contracted earlier than 1624. The unproved will of Walter Hatch and the document containing the division of the personal estate of his father are in the possession of one of Walter Hatch's descendants, Israel H. Hatch of Marshfield, Mass., who has kindly permitted the writer to have access to his voluminous family papers.

    • ‡ Many erroneous statements about Elder William Hatch and his family appear in various printed works, and it is hoped that the pedigree here given will serve in some measure to correct such errors.
    • § From a copy of a deed from Walter's son John, dated 19 Mar. 1705 [1705/6], now in the possession of Israel H. Hatch of Marshfield, Mass.
    • || This surname is given on the authority of Israel H. Hatch of Marshfield, Mass. Most writers on this family state that in the marriage record the surname of the wife has been obliterated. In Register, vol. 6, p. 348, the record from the town books of Marshfield appears, in abbreviated form, as "Walter Hatch and —— —stable m. 5 Aug. 1674."

  • (I) William Hatch, the first of his name in America, and one of the earliest settlers of Scituate, Massachusetts, was born in Sandwich, Kent county, England, from which place he emigrated to America before 1633. In the course of a year or two he went back to England for his family, and returned in March, 1635, in the ship "Hercules," with his wife Jane, five children and six servants. He settled in Scituate in Kent street in 1634, prior to his return to England, and on arriving the second time, with his family, resumed his residence there. He kept a store and was rated a merchant of ability. He was a very active and useful man in town and church, being lieutenant of militia and the first ruling elder of the Second Church of Scituate, which was founded in 1644. He died November 6, 1651. Thomas Hatch, supposed to have been an elder brother of William, lived first in Dorchester, but moved to Scituate, where he died in 1646. leaving five children: Jonathan, William, Thomas, Alice and Hannah.
