Hi Joseph,

I noticed when I was researching some of my other lines from the same area in England (Manchester), that some of the folks that came in the 1800s to U.S. eventually made their way west toward Salt Lake, UT, as there seemed to be many who were Mormans.

I also have this bit of info on Hatch. You may already have this: Walter HATCH b. in England m. Elizabeth Holbrook May 6, 1650; dau. of Thomas Holbrook. Walter resided at Scituate, Mass. Children b. in Scituate:
Hannah b. Mar 3, 1651, Samuel b. Dec 22, 1653, Jane b. Mar 7, 1655, Antipas b. Oct 26, 1658, Bethia b. Mar 31, 1661, John b. Jul 8, 1664, Isreal b. Mar 25, 1667, Joseph b. Dec 9, 1669.

That's the earliest I have here in my file.
