Jennett Dunsmore was born to William Dunsmore and Janet McCulloch in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Jennett had eight siblings: unnamed brother, John, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, Jane, and Thomas. The Dunsmore family emigrated from Scotland to Oro, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada sometime between 1829 and 1831. Jennett married George Gane Hatch on 26 January 1842 in Barrie, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. They had fifteen children: Janet, Ann, William, George, Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Henry, Margaret, James, Nolen, Richard, Anna, and two unnamed children. The family moved from Ontario, Canada to Kansas in the United States between 1867 and 1869. Their last child, Anna was born in Kansas. Jennett died in Hiawatha, Kansas and is buried there.
Obituary:
At her home in Hiawatha, Kansas, April 17th, 1880, of Bright's disease of the kidneys, Jennet, wife of Geo. Hatch; aged 54 years, 10 months, and 23 days. The subject of these lines had been sick for quite nine months prior to her decease. She had, for a great many years, been a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, and lived the profession of her faith better than she professed it. Before she died the children were called to her bedside for her last benediction of love and counsel. She cautioned each one to refrain from dissipation, profanity and all the evils which would surround them in life, praying them to meet her in the better world. She was conscious to the last, and her final words were: "I am going home to meet my Jesus." It is good to live the blessed assurance of immortality; it is better to die with the shores of the Beautiful Beulah just in view.
