There is no evidence to support that this Yvette was born a Hatcher or ever married to a Hatcher. Her husband Thomas Harris was a merchant and not a sergeant, though he later was a Lt Col of Bacons Rebels. She was NOT the mother of Frances Harris Hardaway since Frances was a daughter of Thomas Harris d1677 and his first wife Alice West. Yvett was too old to have children by the time she married the widowed Thomas Harris.
