HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "One of the tragedies of life is the murder of a beautiful theory by a brutal gang of facts" - La Rochefoucauld Hey JW and all, Does get confusing, doesn't it? But I've now recognized the 2 key records that firmly ID the sons of Ben/Liz and Henry/Lound. 1) the 1743 Henrico record of Dorothy, widow of Henry. 2) the 1745 Henrico record of "Ben and brother Henry, of Goochland" reffing John Greenhaugh's deed to them. So obviously Dorothy did marry the son of Henry/Lound. Now it's a matter of reviewing each record associated with the culprits to make sure I've got them attached to the right people. The names of witnesses and specific locations will be most important. Have already found 2 recs attached to the wrong Henrys. One 1740 rec that was attached to Ben's Henry I now believe belonged to Henry/Dorothy and it may be when they first showed up in Henrico. I'm still believing these guys were in CCCo most of the time. A serious problem in all this is "Deep Creek." There is a Deep creek in Goochland and also in Chesterfield. This creek is mentioned in several of these records and sometimes very difficult to pin down. We know that Henry, Ben's son, had Goochland patents taken out in 1732-34-36 but it's been difficult pinning down exactly when he moved there. If he was there in the early 30s and Henry/Dorothy then moved into Henrico, we would then know why we see no title distinctions in the records. The Moody name is also important since Ann Lound Hatcher md Sam Moody after Henry's death in 1677, removing to CCCo. Moodys start showing up as neighbors of Hatchers and I think it would be safe to say these Hatchers belong to Henry/Dorothy's bunch. Another problem is Susanna Williamson. Her father lived during the critical time period on Chickahominy creek which is west of Mechanicsville in the northern suburbs of Richmond. This is a long way away from where our Hatchers were living south of Richmond. The question becomes - how and where did either of these Henrys meet Susanna? Slow process but I'll get there............! And to Darleen, Bev and Tim......I'll get your stuff processed soonly. Nel
While researcking Buckingham Co VA records I found a Archibald Hatcher who was one of the signees of a 1785 petition to the Va House of Delagates.
