I leave it to the younger generations to find the proof that Hezekiah is indeed the progenitor of this family. It is believed that Hezekiah Hatch and a Miss Phinney were the parents of Maltiah and his siblings. Confusion concerning the parents of Maltiah Hatch stems from the fact that there is little, if any, information to be found on either a Hezekiah, or a Begordis Hatch, to connect him with Maltiah. Maltiah Hatch and his wife, Martha Potter, are the founders of the rest of this book. Many birth and death dates came from reading the tombstones in the cemeteries named in the entries. Other information came from records in the courthouses of the various counties named in the entries. Where a specific family member contributed information, their name is given in brackets at the end of the entry they contributed. Also, any specific references are given in brackets at the end of the entry for which they are the source. I would like to thank all those family members who so kindly filled out the family sheets I sent them. I would especially like to thank the former historians of the Hatch Family Reunion who kept such faithful records, since 1902, of the early births, deaths, and marriages. If you find any errors in your family please make allowances for your elders’ memories, correct your copy and send me the information so I may correct my notes. Occasionally there were discrepancies in my sources. When a date, or a place, is in doubt, it is underlined. Each family is given a letter and a number. The letter signifies the generation that person is in with "A" being the earliest generation. The number signifies that person's place within his parent's family. Thus, Hezekiah Hatch and Robert Potter are both "A's," Hezekiah is "A-1" as the supposed father of Maltiah, and Robert Potter is "A-2" as the father of Martha Potter Hatch. Hezekiah's and Robert's children are "B's." Maltiah and Martha's children are "C's," their children are "D's," etc. The letters and numbers are underlined for emphasis. The index contains the given name of every Hatch mentioned in this book and the surnames of all the families they are allied with. - 1 - ORIGIN OF THE "HATCH" NAME From the Hatch Genealogical Society in Salt Lake City, UT, we learn the name “Hatch” comes from the word Hacche, meaning a door or floodgate, which consists of great stakes or piles, put out by fishermen for the better convenience of securing fish. A weir, by old country folk, is always called a hatch. Hacche is also a term for a bar across a woodland path to prevent deer escaping. If Henry lived near a Hacche, he would be called Henry atte hacche and finally Henry Hatch. The name first appears in Doomsday Book in the form of “Hache” which also means a small ax among French speaking people. Also spelled Hach. Henry might also be
