Appendix: Purported parents of Thomas Hatton

Across the years many attempts have been made to identify Thomas Hatton’s parents. There are several parentages offered in most family trees, two based on misinterpreted evidence and the others in fantasy.

1. John Hatton & Margaret Alston 18. The father’s name is based on the presumption that Secretary Thomas Hatton was the same person as Thomas Hatton of Tewkesbury, heir and executor of John Hatton who died in 1663. John Hatton’s brother Thomas was still living in 1673 and died in 16781 9. In 1678 the Secretary had been dead for thirty three years. They are not the same person. John Hatton married Margaret Alston on 8 August, 1579, at Claverley, Shropshire. They had, with other issue, a son named Thomas, baptised at Claverley, 27 January, 1584/85. If Thomas Hatton of Claverley survived infancy, he would have been aged 64 when the future Secretary Thomas Hatton migrated to Maryland, accompanied by a 6 year old child, and aged 70 at the Battle of Severn. Secretary Thomas and his brother Richard had young children in 1648 and 1649 and so Thomas was unlikely to be more than 45 when he migrated. In the absence of any evidence to connect Thomas Hatton of Maryland to Claverley in Shropshire, this identification is no more likely than any other Thomas Hatton baptised anywhere in England between 1580 and 1610. A quick search on familysearch reveals the baptism of nearly 100 children named Thomas Hatton during this period.
2. Robert Hatton & Margaret Alston or Aston or Cecil. These parents appear on many trees on ancestry.com and familysearch.com. No couple of these names existed. This is an attempt to keep Margaret Alstone as Thomas’ mother, but assumes that, as Thomas’ elder known son was named Robert, Thomas’ father was also named Robert. The fictional couple has then been transposed one generation forward. In some trees there is an attempt to give Margaret Alston/Aston noble ancestry. She is supposed to be the daughter of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Essex, and his wife Dorothy Neville.

While the Earl of Essex did marry Dorothy Neville, there is no record of a daughter named Margaret. The Earl and Countess of Essex did have a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Sir William Newport alias Hatton. 20 This is the probable origin of this impossible nobility.

3. Matthew Hatton 21. Thomas, son of Matthew Hatton, was baptised at St Margaret’s, Westminster, 25 October 1601.22 He is probably to be identified with Thomas Hauton who was buried there on 3 December 1601.
