Dear List Members, Again I am cross posting because of the county line changes and each list has a different membership. Please excuse the duplication. I am still trying to sort out all the HATCHERS and their connections in the Edgefield District, South Carolina area, especially the descendents of Benjamin Hatcher, Rev. Sol. and his wife, Lucy _?_. There were other Hatchers in the early census with no indication of how they were related to Benjamin. They either died without leaving surviving records or moved westward to Georgia and other places. My Hatcher line comes from Alfred Hatcher, son of John & Christian/a _?_, grandson of Benjamin and Lucy _?_. My female Hatcher line comes down from Frances, dau. of Alfred, through the Whitlock and Carpenter families who moved to Augusta, Georgia, after 1900. I have basically accounted for all of the remaining Hatchers on the 1860 census of Edgefield District, South Carolina. Now I am working backwards and forward with the census. I am trying to match up the census records with the information from the 1948 Leonardo Andrea report and the 1936 Rev. Francis Campbell Symonds, D. D. article in the WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE QUARTERLY, 2nd series, Vol. 16, No. 3, July 1936, pages 457-468 with the few estate records copies that I have obtained through the years. Then get it all entered in my computer genealogy program. Somebody may have already done this, but I don't have this in my computer connected to my line. If they have, I would like to hear from them to compare notes. I am looking for a husband for Lucinda [_?_]Hatcher who was on the 1840 and 1850 census of Edgefield District, South Carolina. She is missing in 1860. 1850 Census Edgefield District, South Carolina. Page 135. Lucinda Hatcher 37 Female b. SC over 20 cannot read or write Benjamin Hatcher 15 male laborer Edward Hatcher 13 male James 11 male This census page is fairly easy to read. However, I am not sure if her age was 37 or 57. The secnod number,7, is fairly clear. The first number is clear, but questionable. 37 seems to make the most sense. The ages of the chidren would indicate that she would have married a Hatcher man, probably sonewhere around her own age,in the early 1830, and that he died just prior to the 1840 census. Likely candidates might have been a son or grandson of either Benjamin b. c. 1722-74 d.c. 1856 or of John d. 1825 because those are the families who seem to have stayed in Edgefield. Anybody working on this branch of the Hatcher family? With the oldest son named Benjamin they have to fit in here somewhere. Vivian Cates, Rt. #2 Box 52-A, Alto, Texas 75925-9607
