Arthur 1 Hathaway arrived in America about 1630   settled in Plymouth and remained there. (New England Historic Genealogical Register 32-92) He probably came with his son, Arthur 2, but this distinction is rarely indicated and many printed records of this family confuse the two Arthurs.

Arthur 2 died 11 December 1711.

"This profile states origins of Arthur Hathaway Sr., with no proof. He was listed as "of Wales," but linked to a family of Kingscote, Gloucestershire. The proposed Welsh origin comes from an 1878 reader query to the NEHGR[1] asking for information about (to sum up) likely brothers John and Arthur Hathaway, from the "Welsh counties;" John removing to Taunton and Arthur staying in Plymouth Colony. Where the writer got this information is not stated.

"It seems possible that there was actually only one Arthur Hathaway in Plymouth: the man who appeared in Marshfield in 1643, and then married Sarah Cooke in 1652. Since he only had to be 16 to appear on the list of those able to bear arms, any birth date prior to 1627 would suffice for this man. Assuming he was born in 1620, his death in 1711 in Dartmouth (that assigned to Arthur "jr") would make him 91 at death, a not unreasonable age.

"Arthur does not appear in the "Great Migration" series; his earliest known appearance so far is 1643 in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony, on the list of those able to bear arms, Marshfield, 1643.[2]

"He supposedly had a son, Arthur, who married Sarah Cooke, but no other information is yet known about this man.[3] It should be noted that the marriage of the younger Arthur Hathaway to Sarah Cooke is recorded; there does not seem to be any documentary proof that the Arthur of 1643 in Marshfield was the father of the Arthur who married Sarah Cooke. Obviously possible and even likely given the names, but not yet proven.

"His death is stated, without source or location, as 1671."

Supposed Children

• Arthur Hathaway, Jr., m. November 20, 1652, Sarah Cooke.[4]
• Susannah Hathaway, m. abt 1664, William Palmer.
