Richard Hatchett born in 1580 was the child of Steven Hatchett, a wealthy farmer, born in 1545 in Peplow, Salop, Eng. I have no documentation for this connection except genealogy handed down in the family through the ages. Hope you find this helpful. Iam trying to connect James Arthur Hatchett who married Flora Fox, their son James arthur Hatchett, Jr. born Oct. 29, 1892, d. Apr. 1932 was married to Della Lee Dennis, dtr of Robert Dennis & Elizabeth Roberts, and they lived in Bell Buckle, TN. James is a descendant of the Thomas Hatchett line above, but we have lost info on the connecting generation. Can you help?
