Asa was the 8th of 10 children (5th son) born of Joseph Hatch (1718-1802) and his wife Sarah Stearns (1720-1805). Asa's siblings were: Reuben (1742-1811), Eleazer (1744-1809), Phinehas (1747-1818), Meriam (b. 1750), Sarah (b. 1752), Zerviah (1755-1825), Nathan (1757-1841), Mason (b. 1762), and Judah (1764-1848).
At the age of 12 years in 1771, Asa moved to Alstead, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.
Within months of reaching the age of 16 years, Asa traveled back to Tolland, Connecticut and in December 1775 enlisted for 4 months as a Private in a Company that went directly to Cambridge, Massachusetts where they joined a Regiment commanded by a Lietuenant Colonel Brown. Upon serving out his term of enlistment, he was discharged and returned home.
In the late spring 1776, Asa was back in Tolland where he enlisted for about 4 months and served in a Connecticut State Regiment commanded by Colonel Roger Enos guarding the Connecticut coast at Horseneck. When this service was out, Asa returned to Alstead.
In September 1776, when New Hampshire was called upon to reinforce the Continental Army in New York, Asa enlisted at Alstead and served as a Private in Captain John House's Company, Colonel Nahum Baldwin's New Hampshire Regiment. The Regiment marched to Stamford, Connecticut and then on to White Plains, New York where they were engaged in the Battle of White Plains on October 28, 1776. Asa and the rest of his Regiment were dismissed early in December of that year. Asa was paid a 6 pound bountry for enlisting and a penny per mile for each of the 314 miles he traveled.
In the spring of 1777 on May 7th, Asa enlisted as a Private for 2 months service in Captain Christopher Webber's Company, Colonel Benjamin Bellow's New Hampshire Militia Regiment who went to reinforce the Northern Continental Army at Fort Ticonderoga on the shores of Lake Champlain in northern New York. Asa was discharged from this service on June 13, 1777 having served 1 month and 7 days. About 2 weeks later, on June 28th, Asa enlisted and served 12 days in Captain Amos Shepard's Company, Colonel Benjamin Bellow's Militia Regiment who went to reinforce the garrison at Fort Ticonderoga who had become besieged by the British Army led by Major-General John Burgoyne. During this tour, Asa only went as far as the western part of the New Hampshire Grants (Vermont) before returning home in Alstead.
In consequence of the evacuation of Fort Ticonderoga, July 7, 1777, and the southerly movement of the British Army under General John Burgoyne threatening the subjugation of New England, New Hampshire fielded a 3 Regiment Brigade under the command of Brigadier-General John Stark. Asa enlisted for 2 months on July 21, 1777 and served as a Private in Captain Christopher Webber's Company, Colonel David Hobart's Regiment in General Stark's Brigade. Captain Webber's Company marched from Walpole, New Hampshire to the Fort at Number 4 (Charlestown), New Hampshire and on to Manchester on the New Hampshire Grants (Vermont) arriving there on August 7th. Receiving information of the enemy's intention to capture the stores at Bennington, General Stark's Brigade pressed forward and reached that town on the 9th. Asa fought in the Battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777, and moved on with the Brigade to Stillwater, New York. Asa fought in the Battle against the British Army at Saratoga (Freeman's farm) on September 19, 1777. Three days later he and the rest of his Company were discharged, their 2 month enlisment having expired. Asa, however, volunteered to remain on for one month more. He fought against Burgoyne's forces in the 2nd Saratoga Battle (Bemis Heights), October 9th; was at the surrender of General Burgoyne and his army, October 17th; and then returned home to Alstead.
At the age of 19 years, Asa married, 1778, in Alstead, his 1st wife Roxanna Delano (1758-1811) by whom he had 14 children (9 sons and 5 daughters): Nancy (b. 1779), William (1782-1852), Roxanna (1783-1857), Luther (b. 1785), James (1787-1829), Oliver (b. 1791), Mandana (b. 1792), Chloe (1794-1870), Sandford (b. 1795), Asa (b. 1796), Alva (1798-1868), Alanson (b. 1800), Sarah (b. 1801), and Larkin (b. 1803).
