• 42. ELIZABETH4 THACHER (Hon. Col. John,3, Antony,2 Rev. Peter1), born at Yarmouth, Mass., June 19th, 1677; died at Falmouth, Mass. (presumably) May 18th, 1710, and was presumably buried there, the existence of her gravestone has never been discovered by me; married at Falmouth, Mass. (is is recorded there) by John Thacher, Justice of the Peace (her father) on October 18th, 1699, to Deacon Moses Hatch (as his second wife). Elizabeth(4) (Thacher) Hatch was admitted to church at Barnstable, August 2nd, 1702, and was dismissed therefrom to church at Falmouth, October 10th, 1708. Deacon Moses Hatch was born at Falmouth, March 4th, 1662-3; he is said to have been the first white child born there; he was admitted to First Church at Barnstable, June 19th, 1698; and was dismissed to church at Falmouth, October 10, 1708, in which latter church he was a first deacon; he was a farmer and a wealthy man of good business ability and a good citizen; he died at Falmouth, May 20th, 1747, in the 85th year of his age, and was buried there in the old burying ground. He was a son of Jonathan and Sarah (Rowley) Hatch, (Savage says Hannah

• Deacon Moses Hatch gave to Falmouth the land on which the first church was built and which is now a public square ornamented with trees. He married, first, May 9th, 1686, Hepsiba Eddy, of Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard (said to be the younger sister of Elizabeth Eddy, second wife of his brother, Benjamin Hatch); and by her he had the following children (not in Thacher line):
  • i. Abiah, born February 1st, 1686-7; died February 13th, 1686-7; buried February 14th, 1696-7.
  • ii. M * * * (a son), born February 1st, 1686-7; died February 1st, 1686-7; buried February 2nd, 1686-6.
  • iii. Moses, born October 6th, 1688; died October 23rd 1688.
  • iv. Hepsiba, born February 15, 1690; died — ; married Benjamin Nye, of Falmouth.
• A Moses Hatch married, about 1710-11, to Hannah, widow of Joshua Bangs, and a daughter of John Scudder, of Barnstable. This Hannah Scudder was baptized October 5th, 1651, and hence was 11 years older than Deacon Moses Hatch. Joshua Bangs died January 14th, 1709-10. Although she was so much older than Deacon Moses Hatch, yet the death of Elizabeth (Thacher) Hatch, his second wife, and the death of Joshua Bangs, Hannah Scudder's first husband, renders it possible that Deacon Moses Hatch had for a third wife Hannah (Scudder) Bangs. The Falmouth Records state "Hannah, wife of Captain Moses Hatch, died May 13th, 1739." If this was the above Hannah (Scudder) Bangs-Hatch, then Deacon Moses Hatch was styled Captain, as was also his son Moses. It is thought by Amos Otis, in his Barnstable Families, that the death record should read, "Mary, wife of Captain Moses Hatch, died May 13th, 1739;" the record, in his opinion, referring to Mary Lord, first wife of Captain Moses, son of Deacon Moses.
