Born by about 1596 based on estimated date of marriage. Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1633 & first settled in Dorchester. Moved to Yarmouth in 1639, & Barnstable by 1641. Died in Barnstable by 27 May 1661 (date of inventory).
Married by about 1621, Grace _____. She was alive on 27 June 1661, but had probably died by 3 March 1662/3.
"Much confusion has arisen and numerous errors have appeared in various printed works regarding two settlers in Plymouth Colony named Thomas Hatch." There was a Thomas Hatch of Scituate, and another of Yarmouth and Barnstable. Which one had earlier been at Dorchester? French states correctly that the Dorchester man moved to Yarmouth and then Barnstable, and the Scituate Thomas Hatch came straight from England. This may be concluded from the fact that Thomas Hatch of Scituate had a daughter baptized at Tenterden, Kent, in 1636, while the other Thomas Hatch was already in Dorchester by 1633.
