Verified Births of Above per Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection) for the town of Stafford and Connecticut, Births and Christenings, 1649-1906 - FamilySearch.org

Lewis Hatch, in 1938 his hand-typed genealogy 'Branches of our Family Tree: with charts' tacked on a few names of supposed children of Joshua and Hannah - direct citations not linked to facts. Other children not proven or innacurately linked so far are: Alden, Ezra, Eli, Olive, Daniel. MOST of the references (see EZRA, BELOW) he provided did not offer any further proof of those children having been connected.

EZRA DOCUMENTATION:

The 'Ezra' that matches the person connected here is likely a son: while no birth record has been located, an abstract of a family bible, acceptance by the Mayflower Society, and 'family word of mouth' from another FindAGrave member (owner of Ezra's page) is some verification. Ezra's death record, while stating his birth as Massachusetts, was probably not provided by anyone who knew the 'facts' as his parentage is noticeably missing from the 'live' document. The 1850 Census for Florence, St. Joseph, Michigan for this person (with wife Cynthia) says he was born Connecticut, and considering the source, is probably spot-on accurate.
