Nel, Re: Wm Hatchers's wife Ann I have often wondered why Wm & Ann did not have their fist child till abt 13 yrs later (by 1695) from the time of their marriage which I find odd. John Burton does not mention a daughter Ann but he mention his other two daughters Mary Glover & Rachel Burton in his 1690 will. He also mentions grandchildren with surname "Davis". To whom did they belong? Were they children of a dec'd daughter? Makes one wonder if John Burton actually had a daughter Ann or if she died w/o children before Johns will in 1690.

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 Good morning, JW! John Burton's dau Mary married 1st, John Davis and 2nd, William Glover. But John did have a dau Ann as mentioned in the will of his son, John Jr, dated 1679. All this can be found on the file. My guess is that Ann died unmarried before 1690 when John Sr's will was written. The marriage rec for Wm Hatcher states only that he married a dau of John Burton. Seems everyone had assumed she could only be Ann or Rachel, finally settling on Ann because of her release of dower on a Hatcher deed dated 1704. But when a married dau dies without children, as it appears is the case with William's wife, the odds of finding her name in any record is slim. John Jr's will, 1679, mentions the 3 children of sister Rachel [no surname] and Sr's will mentions his dau, Rachel BURTON. Her children were illegitimate and it's always been my belief that they had a Hatcher father, producing the Burton line that matches our Hatcher DNA. We seem to be on a roll with illegitimate kids lately :-) Nel
