Looking over an index of the 1870 Hancock County (OH) census, there's a C.W. HATCH listed on page 29 in Amanda Township. There's no listing for any other HATCH. Sorry, but I don't have access to an 1870 Census film, but this should make it easy to find if you (or someone else) does. Good luck and good hunting! ---> Dave P.S.: In an 1880 Hancock County (OH) census Index, there's: - Charel H. HATCH (p. 494C, Amanda Twp.) - Stephen HATCH (p. 506C, Amanda Twp.) There's no HATCH listed in the an index for the Hancock County (OH) census for 1830, 1840, and 1860. However, in an index for the 1850 census: - A. Jay HATCH (p.35, Findlay TWP.) - Mary HATCH (p.19, Findlay Twp.) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
