Narrative

William Hatch was born about 1598, presumably in Tenterden, co.Kent. As William Hatch of Ashford, woolen draper, bachelor,about 25, he was licensed to marry Jane Young of Thannington,maiden, about 27, whose friends were dead, on July 9, 1624.Edward young of Thannington, husbandman, possibly her brother,and William Page, blacksmith, of Canterbury, were the bondsmen.Although the license calls him bachelor, this was undoubtedlyHatch's second marriage. His son Walter, was sixteen or older in1643 and gave his age as "59 yeares" in 1681/2, indicating hisbirth year as 1622 or 1623. In his father's will Walter Hatch isthe first son named and in all documents dealing with the estatehe signs before his brother, with the privilege of seniority. Inthe regular sequence of Jane (Young) Hatch's children there isno place for him. It seems necessary, therefore, to provideWilliam Hatch with an unrecorded first wife who died soon afterthe birth of her son.As we have seen, Hatch was a woolen-draper of Ashford in 1624.He moved almost immediately after his marriage to Wye where hewas still living in 1633, but when he sailed for New England in1634/5 he was a resident of the Kentish port of Sandwich. OnMarch 17, 1634/5, Mr. Thomas Gardener, Vicar of St. Mary's inSandwich, gave Hatch the necessary certificate of conformity,and it was possibly late in March or early in April that he andhis family embarked on the Hercules, 200 tons, John Witherley,master. The entry on the passenger list is "Wm Hatch of SandwichMerchant & Jane his Wief"; children - Walter, John, Willm, Anne,Jane; servants - Wm Holmes, Joseph Ketchrell, Simon Ketchrell,Robt Jennings, Symon Sutton, Lidia Wells. Among the othervoyagers, mostly from south-western Kent, were Hatch's cousinLydia (Huckstep) Tilden, her husband and seven children.With many of their fellow passengers the Hatch family settled inScituate where Hatch built a house on Kent street. He was made afreeman of the Plymouth County on January 5, 1635/6. Leaving hisfamily in its new home Hatch returned to England, probably tosettle his affairs in the old country, and in April, 1638, heset sail ofr New England a second timeon the Castle, veryprobably accompanied by his brother Thomas Hatch, his sisterElizabeth Soan and their families.Hatch was a juror in 1638 at the trial of Arthur Peach, ThomasJackson and Richard Stinnings for the murder of an Indian. OnSeptember 3, 1638, he was granted an island of twenty acres onthe south side of the North river, called the old island, orHatch's island, which he sold to Joseph Tilden in 1649. In 1642he was on the committee to provide forces for a possible warwith the Indians and in 1643, when he and his sons Walter andJohn were on the list of the Scituate men able to bear arms, hewas elected lieutenant "for trayneing their men in the art ofwar." He had since 1638 been "excercising the people in arms atScituate.: He was chosen the first Ruling Elder of the SecondChurch of Scituate in 1643. In the court of March 5, 1643/4,Hatch sued his servant hercules, presumably a negro, todetermine whether he was to have served six or seven years. Thecourt decided for the shorter term and ordered that Herculesshould be freed on July 3, 1644. Elder Hatch died November 6,1651. Widow Jane Hatch married in Scituate March 31, 1653,Thomas King who succeeded Hatch as Ruling Elder. She diedOctober 8, 1653. William Hatch made his will on November 5, 1651, and it wasproved June 3, 1652. He made very careful provision for his wifeJane. She was to have two cows to be kept by the executors uponhis meadow lands, and their increase until they exceeded thenumber of six, one half of the dwelling house and one half ofthe fruit of the orchard, fifteen bushels of corn a year andsixteen rods of broken-up ground for sowing hemp, a bed, twopairs of sheets, two pairs of pillow-coats, a bolster, a rug anda blanket, also a pot, two household platters, two pewterdishes, a pewter drinking pot, a little brass pot, a brassskillet, two spinning wheels, a pair of wool cards, a trunk,half a dozen milk trays, a couple of wooden dishes, two woodenplatters, a milk pan, two chairs, four spoons, one of silver, awarming pan, a brandiron, a pair of tongs, a pair of pothangers, a fire slice, a hog and the great brass kettle. Todaughter Jane Lovell, a pair of sheets, a cow and, if she hasmore children, each child is to have a calf from the calf whichhe had already given to her son John, also a chest, a pewtercandle-stick, a saucer and two alchemy spoons.
