Hatch-3393 and Hatch-20 appear to represent the same person because: Exact dates and same spouse
Hatch-3393 and Hatch-20 are not ready to be merged because: The birth and death years are different , the children are not the same. thank you for your time.....these 2 men need further investigation
posted by Denia Pearson
Hatch-3393 and Hatch-20 appear to represent the same person because: Exact DOD and same child - Refer to the biography of Hatch-20 for conflicting dates of birth
Hatch-3254 and Hatch-20 appear to represent the same person because: Exact dates, same spouse and child
I will approve the merge; however, I am concerned about the source in Hatch-2620. "Thomas Hatch of Barnstable" by Pack (starting at Pg 81) clearly shows Joseph as the son of Johnathan and Sarah (Rowley) Hatch. His son, Joseph (1689-1750) had a son named Lemuel, I believe the source in Hatch-2620 has the father and son confused.

Hatch-2620 and Hatch-20 appear to represent the same person because: Same wife and death date. Different birth info.
