American Indian Hatcher's of Henrico, Co., Va. and Daws Roll Numbers

Question

I am looking for American Indian Hatcher's that are on the Dawes Rolls, these Hatcher's originate from Henrico, Co., Va.  Can you help me?

Answer 1

Are you just looking for their roll numbers? If so, at least one of these (Lillie May) is descended from William Hatcher of Henrico Co:

(Let me know if G2G messes up equals-signs like Public Comments do, the end of that link should read ?lname equals-sign hatcher)

There are good records at the Hatcher Family Association that should be helpful. Lillie May is there and you can click through parent records all the way back to immigrant William: http://hatcherfamilyassn.com/getperson.php?personID=I32838&tree=WmTheIm

Comments

Looks like the Hatchers were in the habit of buying & selling Indian children and giving them the last name Hatcher (although from the deposition below, it looks more like an indentured servitude contract with a defined end-date). Could be another source of Henrico Hatcher surnames.

The Deposition of Robt Napier aged Eighty ffive ---- being Examined & Sworn Saith that between fifty & Sixty years ago Capt John Lydall Jr went to Henrico & he bought of one Edward Hatcher an Indian woman named Bettey wch he called Betty Hatchor & she had a reputed Daughter Called Sarah Hatcher wch was the reputed mother of Indian Jack Hatcher wch Said Indian Bettey was brought in to this Collony by the Said Edward Hatcher an Indian Trader & sold by him to Serve according to Law this Depon?t further Saith that he bought of Edward Hatcher an Indian Trader of the same company an Indian boy between Fourteen[?] & Sixteen[?] years of age & that he Expected he was to Serve only to the age of thirty one or thirty three to the best of my remembrance ...

Lillie May Hatcher was a descendant of the Henrico County, VA Hatcher family on her father's side, and had native American blood on her mother's side. You can find some more on her in the database of the Hatcher Families Genealogy Association that Nel Hatcher founded. Here's Lillie May's entry in the database:
