Biography

The Hathaways of Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, trace their ancestry back to this Arthur, who married Sarah, daughter of John Cooke. The tradition is, that the Hathaways in personal appearance were tall, loosely built, walked with a swinging motion and were of florid complexion, fair hair and blue eyes. This type appears in almost every generation.

"Owing to the absence of documentary information, it will not now be possible to state when and where Arthur Hathaway was born; who were his parents and relatives; and when he came to Plymouth Colony. This narrative must commence with his marriage to the daughter of John Cooke, November 20, 1652, the same year that the colony granted the territory on Buzzards Bay to the thirty-six purchasers of whom Cooke was one. "

His will, which was dated February, 1709-10, and presented to the court for probate in February, 1710-11, was executed by his mark. It states that he “was very weak of body but of perfect mind and memory.” He selected his son, John, as executor.

He gave his wife, Sarah, the income of certain estate; and a legacy of five shilling to each of his children:

Thomas
Jonathan
Mary Hammond
Lydia Sisson
Hannah Cadman

To his son, John, he devised real estate consisting of a half share of land in Dartmouth.

Arthur's death probably took place within a month before the probate of his will. [1]

Arthur is Nicholas's nephew

Nicholas Hathaway and Arthur Hathaway Jr. are both descendants of Thomas Hathaway.

1. Nicholas is the son of Thomas Hathaway (1560-1609) [unknown confidence] This makes Thomas the father of Nicholas.

1. Arthur is the son of Arthur Hathaway Sr. (abt.1605-1671) [unknown confidence] 2. Arthur is the son of Thomas Hathaway (1560-1609) [unknown confidence] This makes Thomas the grandfather of Arthur.

Carole, I'm starting to think there was no "Arthur Sr". With all the talk of confusion of these two men in Plymouth Colony, it's very possible that there was only one. The first documented appearance of an "Arthur Hathaway" that I've seen yet is in 1643 in Marshfield where he was able to bear arms. He only needed to be 16 to appear on that list, so any birthdate 1627 or prior would suffice. Say he was born in 1620, that makes him 91 at death in 1711 in Dartmouth, which is not unreasonable at all. Also old enough to be at the town meeting in 1646, old enough to marry Sarah Cooke in 1652. I'm still researching this but I have yet to see proof of two separate men.

"There is no detailed documentary information before 1652, thereby much confusion exists. The year of 1651, one Arthur Hathaway was reported as owning in lot 26 in Puncka-teest, now Tiverton. In 1643 a resident of Marshfield of the same name was capable of bearing arms, and was at town meeting at Plymouth in 1646. The Colonial Records state that Arthur Hathaway had a share in lands in that part of Plymouth called Kingston. The records do not settle the question of whether these individuals were one person. Elisha C. Leonard thought they were, while some investigators assert that there were two Arthurs, father and son. Then one John Hathaway Jr., kept an ordinary at Freetown, presumably at Assonet. John Hathaway at Barnstable, was fined in 1663 for breach of peace, and in 1668 for drunkenness. It was thought at one time that all of these events related to the same John, but this is now doubted; whether either John was a relative of Arthur is a question. John D. Baldwin, a scholarly gentleman residing in Worcester, and the only writer who makes the statement, wrote to the Historical and Genealogical Register: “I have found by investigation that John and Arthur Hathaway, (brothers probably) came to America in 1638 from one of the Welsh counties of Great Britain. John was in Barnstable, but afterward settled in that part of Taunton now Berkley, where he owned land in 1638. Arthur settled in Plymouth and his son married Sarah Cooke.” Very little weight can be given to this statement as no authority is given. Gen. E. W. Peirce wrote to the same register that he had discovered a record which proved that the Taunton John Hathaway was not the same individual who was in Barnstable. Owing to the absence of documentary information, it will not now be possible to state when and where Arthur Hathaway was born; who were his parents and relatives; and when he came to Plymouth Colony."

Thank you, Eunice,

If I have followed your helpful information correctly, then, you agree that we should sever the father-son relationship in favor of a supporting research note to both profiles. --Gene
