• Thomas Hatch, the true ancestor of our branch of the Hatch family, emigrated to Boston, Mass. in 1630, or early in 1634. The name of his wife was Grace, She was of Welsh descent. I think it probable her family name was Lewis, though that is uncertain. He was probably born about the year 1603, somewhere in the county of Kent, and probably in the town of Biddenden, near Cranbrook; but possibly at or near Sandwich on the sea coast.
• They had two children, one son and a daughter. They were probably married about 1624, perhaps 1627.
• JONATHAN, the son, was born in England, probably in 1625. Lydia, the daughter, was probably born about 1628. This implies that his wife, Grace, was born about 1604. It is said he was a tailor by trade. They probably lived in some village, possibly Cranbrook, or Sandwich. His wife, it is said, was the daughter of a farmer, and born and brought up on a farm and accustomed to the usual female labor of a farm at that period of time; among other things to assist in the harvesting or field labor in harvest time and was expert at it. Some anecdotes of them are preserved which show this. He was small, slender, and of feeble strength; she was robust strong and healthy.
• Thomas Hatch was admitted a freeman of the colony of Massacliusetts Bay at Boston, May 14, 1634.
• January 17, 1639, he became one of the nine original purchasers of Yarmouth township, Plymouth colony, on Cape Cod; and was admitted a freeman of that colony and removed to that place from Boston.
• The nine proprietors were Anthony Thatcher, John Crome, Marmaduke Matthews, Thomas Hower, Philip Tabor, William Palmer, Samuel Rider, William Lump-

• kin and Thomas Hatch. See records of Plymouth colony, General Conrt, January 7, 1639, O. S. for the record of the grant. Part of these persons probably emigrated in the same ship with him, as they were made freemen at Boston with him.
• In 1640, he became an equal, or joint, proprietor of the township of Barnstable with about twenty-five other men. In June, 1641, he is described as "of Barnstable" in deeds and public records of the colony, and therefore had become a resident of that town. He died there in the year 1661, a respected citizen. He was a member of the Congregational church of that town and probably was a member of that church before leaving England.
• He was a man of considerable pecuniary means. He was a resident freeholder in Dorchester, Mass., May 14, 1634.
  • JONATHAN HATCH of Falmouth.
• Jonathan Hatch of Falmouth, son of Thomas and Grace Hatch of Barnstable, was born in England about 1625, and emigrated to America with his parents and resided with them at Boston, Yarmouth and Barnstable. He was of very robust constitution and lived to a great age, it is said near 100 years. He married Sarah Rowley at Barnstable, April 11, 1646.
