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 Ray, This book has some really bad info on John and Mary. Heard a lot of stories but never heard they married in VA. Dates and places are WAY off. Thanks!! Nel
