    1. [HATCHER] Hatchers in Loudoun Co, VA

    3. Hello again. I had the opportunity last week to accompany a friend on a business trip that just happened to pass through Loudoun County where his brother lives. He was nice enough to take me to the Goose Creek Burying Ground in Lincoln. I was greeted there by a nice gentleman from the Goose Creek Meeting House who directed me to a section of Hatchers that took up two long rows. In the midst of the rows I was able to find some things that left me curious. 1. To the left of MAHLON GREGG HATCHER, I found an R.G. HATCHER. I was wondering if anyone knew to whom he belongs. 2. There are 2 uninscribed or otherwise unreadable markers to the left of R.G. According to the gentleman there, those would be older markers. One could infer that those might belong to some of the others that I didn't find a marker for. 3. Between WILLIAM (1808-1836) and ADDISON (1836-1840) HATCHER is buried an S.A. COOMBS (1888-1899). MARY ANN HATCHER (B. 1823 in Dorset, England) Married JOHN COOMBS in Dorset in 1847. Is this just a coincidence or a possible link between the DNA-connected Quaker and Dorset Hatchers? Also, for some reason, the COOMBS marker is facing the opposite direction. I was able to get pictures of most of the names I added on FAG based on info from the Leesburg website. You can find them here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GSln=hat&GSiman=1&GScid=1974309&GRid=43734450&CRid=1974309& I was also able to visit Ketoctin Baptist Church Cemetery. I was able to get more detailed pics of the J. HATCHER/ G.G. GREGG family plot which also includes the names CARRUTHERS (married into the Gregg family) and BROOKS (an infant whose connection I don't know). We did a quick drive through Sharon Cemetery. But it was getting too dark. I hope to return there soon when I can spend more time there. I hope I have raised a few new questions for us to pursue.
