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 I just found the 1693 Tax list for BucksCo and in Middleton we find Bartho and Jos Thatcher (daddy Richard was dead). Many of these names can be found on the 1681 plat map so this is definitely the area both Wm and Nick were living. NO Hatchers there in 1693. Here is the description for this tax.... "the rate of one peny per poind upon the cleare vallue of all the real & personall estates & six shellings per head upon such as are not otherwaise rated by this act" So everyone got taxed at least 6 shillings, whether they owned property or not. http://ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/bucks/taxlist/1693tl01.txt?cj=1&o_xid=0001027214&o_lid=0001027214 Nel
