<\/a><\/p>\nThe proposed common ancestor between Lincoln and Heidi goes back to colonial Massachusetts. It would be interesting to see if this connection makes sense.<\/p>\n
Hatch ThruLines<\/h2>\n
I see that I have one connection going back to Nathaniel:<\/p>\n
These matches are interesting and at the far end of where Ancestry does common ancestors – at the 6th cousin level.<\/p>\n I have tested my father’s 1st cousin Joyce and she has one Hatch connection:<\/p>\n It looks like Nathaniel could have had a large family. Here is his marriage record:<\/p>\n It looks like this couple had eight children:<\/p>\n So far we have seen Druzilla, Isaiah and Prudence in potential DNA match lines. One interesting thing is that there appear to be a Nathaniel and a Nathaneal baptized in Falmouth, MA in the 1740’s. Was the 1742 Nathaniel illegitimate?<\/p>\n Also, is Bethia the same of Bashaway in the Falmouth marriage records?<\/p>\n Another of my father’s cousins has tested at Ancestry. He matches Priscilla on the Nathaniel Hatch Line:<\/p>\n Here Isaiah Hatch is in green because MM is from my second cousin Holly and she must not have Isaiah in her tree.<\/p>\n My sister Heidi shows a match to Bridget who descends from Rebecca Hatch:<\/p>\n My brother Jon, mentioned earlier has three DNA matches with Hatch descendants:<\/p>\n The evidence of DNA matches is rising.<\/p>\n My sister Lori matches Susan like I do:<\/p>\n However, Lori matches her a bit less than I do: 7 cM vs. my 12 cM match.<\/p>\n Finally my sister Sharon:<\/p>\n Sharon, like Jon and Heidi, matches Bridget.<\/p>\n Genetic experts tend to point out that it is often difficult to prove that from 7 generations out, the actual DNA from Nathaniel Hatch (or his wife Olive Bearse) is the DNA that you match with. In order to show this, you would need to build out your tree and the match’s tree for 7 generations and eliminate all other possibilities. However, I am not going to do that. I will just look at the matches to see if the genealogy supports their descent from Nathaniel and Olive. Then my goal is to build my own composite tree with descendants.<\/p>\n This is what Lincoln has:<\/p>\n I am thinking that the Lincoln that I knew could have been in the second private. But that is OK. If that is the case, then I wouldn’t be related to the Lincoln I knew but from the mother of his son. OK. Note that this tree does not show the mother of the son. Somehow, Ancestry was able to figure that out. However, the son’s mother was born in 1924, so maybe the son was the one I knew. I’ll build my own tree to try to figure it out.<\/p>\n I think I see the issue already. For some reason, the tree that Lincoln’s mother is taken from shows this:<\/p>\n Pehaps Lincoln entered his tree incorrectly. I found an obituary record that shows Lincoln as the daughter of Helena, so this appears to be correct. All this to say that I should be realted to the Lincoln I knew through his mother. I have put a message in to Lincoln to make sure.<\/p>\n Here is Helena in 1930 in Dartmouth, MA:<\/p>\n I see that her brother was quite a bit older.<\/p>\n Here is Carrie’s marriage record:<\/p>\n I am quickly building out the Lincoln’s tree:<\/p>\n According to the initial tree for Lincoln, Helen Gardner should be Helena Sawyer. We see this to be the case from Carrie’s marriage record:<\/p>\n It looks like we are abut halfway there:<\/p>\n Here is Helena or Helen in 1860 in New Bedford:<\/p>\n Next, we are looking for Stephen Sawyer’s mother.<\/p>\n According to findagrave.com:<\/p>\n They have Stephen’s mother as Olive Hatch Potter. Seeing the Hatch in her name makes me think we are on the right track. Olive dies in Medford, MA in 1898:<\/p>\n The same record gives the parents of Olive:<\/p>\n Olive’s father was from Westport and her mother, Druzilla Hatch, was from Falmouth.<\/p>\n The final step is to get Druzilla or Drusilla back to Nathaniel Hatch, Jr. It turns out that I already have Druzilla in my Hartley Tree:<\/p>\n For some reason, Drusilla went by Dilley in the New Bedford Marriage records:<\/p>\n In the 1850 Census for New Bedford, we see that Drucilla was a ship captain’s wife:<\/p>\n I believe that I have proven the genealogical connection. There is also a DNA connection, but I have not proved that the DNA match is definitetively from the Hatch\/Bearse Line. While my line came to Rochester in the 1800’s, Lincoln’s came to the same Town in the 1900’s. I hope to further expand this tree.<\/p>\n According to Ancestry, I should look at Susan’s maternal side. Here is the tree Susan has:<\/p>\n The tree matches what Ancestry has up to Susan’s grandmother Anna M Dowd:<\/p>\n The Findagrave site is helpful again with Anna Dowd:<\/p>\n Susan’s maternal grandmother was buried in Wareham which is the next Town from where I live. This is my tree for Susan so far:<\/p>\n Ancestry thinks that Lillies is a Hillman, so I need to confirm this. Someone at Ancestry made this easy with an obituary from the Wareham Courier:<\/p>\n Next I am looking for Robert Hillman’s mother who is supposed to be a Hatch. From Robert’s marriage record, I see that his mother was Tabitha. This transcription identifies Tabitha’s last name:<\/p>\n Tabitha’s death record gives her parents as Isaiah and Lucy:<\/p>\n Here is a portion of my tree for Susan:<\/p>\n I already have Isaiah in my Hartley Tree.<\/p>\n I’ll stay on my sibling Hatch DNA matches for now.<\/p>\n Here is the line I am trying to look into. Interestingly, I also have some Parkers in my ancestry, so that is something to consider.<\/p>\n Here is the Barstow family in 1950 living in Falmouth, MA:<\/p>\n By the Ancestry Tree above, I am thinking that Miriam’s last name was Allen. According to Social Security, that is right:<\/p>\n In 1920, The Allen family was living on Summer Street in New Bedford:<\/p>\n The father, Arthur, was a bank teller:<\/p>\n The couple married in 1912 in New Bedford:<\/p>\n Here is my tree:<\/p>\n This suggests that Rebecca Hatch married Sylvanus Parker. This is interesting because my ancestor Prudence who was Rebecca’s sister married Isaac Parker.<\/p>\n Here is the 1850 Census for Falmouth:<\/p>\n John was a ship carpenter.<\/p>\n According to the NEGHR Vol. 114:<\/p>\n From this, it appears that this Rebecca was different from the one in my tree. That also means that I need to correct my tree:<\/p>\n The implications:<\/p>\n I have already done one Drusilla Line:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is KC’s tree:<\/p>\n I’m guessing that this tree should end with Drusilla Hatch. I’ll just double check KC’s tree to make sure it makes sense. Here is what I have so far:<\/p>\n Arthur was born in New Bedford, MA and died in Los Angeles. However, I need to next find out who has mother Clara was.<\/p>\n Findagrave strongly suggests that she was a Sawyer:<\/p>\n Interestingly, her father was Stephen Potter Sawyer. So that matches up with my previous yellow Hatch DNA\/Genealogy Chart. I need go no further. Here is the new Chart:<\/p>\n This is good as we like to see branching other than just at the top level. I need to also add in Joyce:<\/p>\n Here we see that Joyce and KC are 5th cousins. But Ancestry has them as 5th cousins once removed. That means I missed someone in KC’s Line:<\/p>\n It takes a while to get things right, but double-checking helps. This is a long while for autosomal DNA to survive, but apparently there were a lot of Hatch descendants, so the odds were in their favor.<\/p>\n According to AncestryDNA, Maury and Priscilla should be 5th cousins:<\/p>\n I don’t have anyone on the Isaiah Branch yet, so let’s build another tr. Mee for Priscilla. Mabel’s paternal side tree is here:<\/p>\n Mabel’s tree stops at her great-grandmother Mabel Hatch. Here is the Albert Jordan Family in Somerville in 1920:<\/p>\n Albert was a barrel dealer.<\/p>\n Here is an 1894 marriage record for Albert:<\/p>\n This record is thorough enough to give his mother’s maiden name as Mabel P Hatch. Mabel’s wedding record from Sandwich gives the first names of her parents:<\/p>\n So many Hatches!<\/p>\n The 1850 Census for Sandwich shows that Isaiah was from Ireland:<\/p>\n The 1860 Census appears to correct the previous one:<\/p>\n The ditto marks refer to Massachusetts. The Somerville death record for Isaiah gives his father’s name as Isaiah – so he was apparently not the son of Nathaniel:<\/p>\n If Ancestry has this right, gramps is Lincoln’s 1st\u00a0 cousin once removed. I may not need to make a tree for gramps. The only confustion is that I show a Henry Gardner where gramps shows a Hervey. Here is Hervey’s WWII Draft Card:<\/p>\n Here is my new Hatch Chart:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAre All These Connections as Shown?<\/h2>\n
