Nel can explain it better than I can but I believe that Hannah is now figured to be that first wife of William Hatcher. Rachel Zane would be William's second wife and the mother of Thomas, John & William Coates Hatcher. Hannah Hatcher later would wed William Stokes and make her move to Warren Co. Ohio. Nel, did you ever look at the possibility that Hannah could be William Hatcher's sister and William Stokes would then be her one and only husband? Bob Hatcher </HTML>

HATCHER website: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com HALL DNA project: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nhatcher/hall/HDNAtest.htm "If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood Bob, Better check our file again. I now have Hannah back to being a dau of Wm Sr by a 1st wife, based on new dates/recs being found. I've also eliminated the Coates name from both father and son. That name appears to have come from a very poor census reading for Wm Jr and in looking at it again, there's no way you can prove it to be Coates. The best I can say is that his middle initial was C. Wm Sr is never found with any middle name or initial so can't even say they're a true Sr and Jr. I also can't say for sure whether Rachel was a Zane or the widow of a Zane. Stay tuned......things will probably change again tomorrow :-) Nel
