Biography

Parentage; Date and Place of Birth

Timothy Hatherly, was baptized in Winkleigh, Devonshire, England, 29 September 1588,[1] the son of Robert and Ellinor (_____) Hatherly.[2]

Life in England and New England

He first travelled to New England in 1623, but shortly returned to England, where he was a feltmaker and merchant;[3] he was at times referred to as a gentleman. Between 1623 and 1631, while in England, Hatherly associated himself with the group of mostly London merchants who had financed the Pilgrims' settlement at Plymouth. In 1626, he was one of five London men who, with 53 planters (collectively, the "Purchasers"), agreed to settle the colony's related indebtedness in a particular payment scheme. (See The 1626 Adventurers and Purchasers.) Say a year later, the obligations of the Purchasers were assumed by "a smaller group of twelve persons," including Hatherty.[4][5] Of the mostly London financiers, Anderson writes, "[They] looked over, and frequently worsened, the business affairs of the planters at Plymouth."[6] Prior to settling permanently at New England, Hatherly resigned his position with the London men.[7]

For several years, beginning in 1631, Hatherty made annual trips to New England, each time returning to England "after a few weeks or months ... initially more interested in trade."[8]

  • 1631 - arrived aboard the Friendship (at Boston 14 July 1631), bringing letters for Governor Winthrop.[9]
  • 1632 - arrived aboard the Charles, 5 June 1632[10]
  • 1633 - arrived aboard the William, 22 February 1632/3.[11]

As early as 1632, Bradford reported that Hatherly had made "preparations to plant and dwell in the country.[12] On 1 July 1634, he appears as a resident, and on 11 January of the following year, he joined the Scituate church.[13]

Marriages

Timothy Hatherly married (1) in St. Olave parish, Surrey, England, on 26 December 1614 to Alice Pollard.[14]Robert Charles Anderson, in The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III, mistakenly spells her name "Collard," citing "English Homes 146."[15] No bibliographical list of sources was found in this work, but probably refers to Charles Banks's book The Planters of the Commonwealth; a study of the emigrants and emigration in colonial times: to which are added lists of passengers to Boston and to the Bay Colony; the ships which brought them; their English homes, and the places of their settlement in Massachusetts. 1620-1640. The marriage is not referred to in this work, but Alice's surname is certainly "Pollard" in the parish register. She died by 1634.

He married (2) in St. Olave parish, Surrey, England, on 21 November 1633 to Susanna Main. This marriage is recorded twice in London parish registers: St. Mary Whitechapel in Tower Hamlets ("Timothie Hatherly of St Olives Southwarke and Susanna [probably Main, possibly Mam - the handwriting is open to some interpretation, but see the next record] of St Buttolphs extra Aldgate," 21 November 1633)[16] and St. John Wapping in Tower Hamlets ("Timothy Hatherlie of St. Olives Southw. and Susanna Main of St. Buttolphs extra Aldgate" with the same date).[17] Susanna died after 22 January 1640/1 "and perhaps after 3 Mar 1640/1, when she joined Timothy in a deed ..."[18][19]

He married (3) after 1641, Lydia (Huckstep) Tilden, widow of Nathaniel Tilden;[20] She died in 1672.[citation needed]

Death

Timothy Hatherly ("Mr. Thmothy Hatherlee")[21] died Scituate, 24 October 1666.[22]

Last Will & Testament

Timothy Hatherly made his will 20 December 1664 (or 12 December 1664);[23] it was proved 30 October 1666.[24][25] Joseph Tilden refused to act as executor of the estate, and on 31 October 1666, he was appointed administrator.[26] Inventory was taken 9 November 1666.[27][28] In his will, Hatherly made various bequests,

  • to my wife Lydia Hatherly
  • to Edward Jenkens his wife and children...
  • to Nicholas Wade his wife and children...
  • to Sussanna wife of Willam Brookes and her children... (and aqcuit her of her first husband's debt to me...

I am the Archivist in Scituate Massachusetts - wanted to correct the record of Timothy's second marriage - it was January 11, 1634. See Rev Lothrop's Scituate and Barnstable Church records.

Jody, thank you for your interest in Timothy's profile here on WikiTree. I'm wondering what you mean by "correct the record"? The profile above states, "He married (2) by 11 January 1634/5 Susan ______" The date, 11 Jan 1634/5 is the date that "Mr. Hetherly and his wife joyned" the church in Scituate, not the date they married. Thus they had married by that date. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

I have saved the profile, but did receive a warning:

Warning: Check the data. A father's death date (Hatherly-1 died 1588) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Hatherly-4 born 29 Sep 1588).

I don't see why the system thought there was a problem--WikiTree has his father's death as "after 1588," while Timothy was born "before 29 Sept 1588."

Is the warning generated because we don't know just how far "before" 29 Sept 1588 dear Timothy was born?

Cochoit-2 Joe Cochoit
The system does not understand before and after very well. You just need to ignore the warning. I don't think we can improve the dates in such a way as to make the warning go away unless you want to change the father's death date to "after February 1588". I don't like to do that as it implies we have a record from February and implies a precision that we do not have.

Profile of Timothy Hatherly is in need of a little love. I find several quotes not recognized as such; not credited either.

Would it be okay if I brush it up a bit? --Gene

Since this is a Protected Profile, I am not making a change. However, the birthplace Tenterdon, Kent, seems to be wrong (that is his wife's birthplace). Shouldn't Timothy's birthplace be Winkleigh, Devonshire?
