- Of Medonte Township, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada
A couple of Hatches that end up in Oro Township, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada: Sarah Ann Hatch, age 78 in 1861 census, born circa 1783 in England. William Hatch, age 80 in 1861 census, born circa 1781 in England Henry Hatch, age 32 in 1861 census, born circa 1829 in Upper Canada. Richard Hatch, age 38 in 1861census, born circa 1823 in England.
A couple of HATCH families:

I'm sure that Richard is the son of William HATCH, a close neighbourof the Humberston Hall family in Oro. In "Kith 'N Kin: The Story of Oro" edited by Joanna McEwan, it gives the following information:
"In the early 1830's William Hatch and his family emigrated fromEngland and settled on part of Lot 14, Concession 7. Here he is reported to have had the first apple orchard in Oro, grown from seeds he hadbrought with him from England. How long the family remained on this farm wedo not know, but in our earliest Assessment Rolls of 1851 we find that he owned the E 1/2 20-7, where the Township Offices are now located. On the creek north of now No. 11 Highway, he built a dam and a saw mill which he appears to have operated for some time along with his sons, Henry and Richard, who were 31 and 30 years old respectively in 1858, when their father was 81 years old. Just how long this mill continued to operate is not certain but by the early 1870's Henry had moved to Barrie and Richard was still living in Oro on part of E 1/2 21-6, on a one-acre lot. A Martha Hatch, who later married a Mr. Dougal from Barrie could have been his daughter. Through the operation of theirsaw mill, this family helped to develop this area of Oro."
By my estimate, William was born in 1777, and could have siredchildren as early as 1795, so I think that Henry and Richard (born circa 1827and 1828) were probably his youngest.
It is my belief that James (father of Sarah Ann) was an older son of William (or possibly William's younger brother). I have checked the microfilm of Simcoe County marriages from 1859-1868, and found records of marriages of three daughters of James and Jane HATCH (later than Sarah Anne, who married JB in 1855). I'm going to have to get that microfilm in here, as I didn't have time to be as thorough as I would like last time I looked at it (I was in Winnipeg for a few days inJune and visited the Family History Centre one day). There were very few Hatches in Simcoe County in the early days, so I do think that all are related.
Unfortunately, Sarah Anne's marriage predates this microfilm, but I'm hoping to find her on another that I've ordered in (if/when it evergets here). I was looking for strictly HATCH-HALL marriages, but didn'tfind any (that of Clara Jane would postdate the film I was studying).
pg. 44 Hatch, James, 39, Ont., Eng./Ont., S.Army, Contractor/House-Builder + Tressa, 34, Ont., Ont./Ont. |-- James W., 9, USA |-- Charles J., 7, Man. |-- Henry B., 5, Man. |-- Laura E., 3, Man. |-- Amelia, 1, Man.
Richard is of an age to be Sarah Ann's uncle (10 years older thanher). This James could be her nephew, or her brother (15 years younger than her). I do believe that they are closely related. One of JB'snieces, Elizabeth Ann Hall (daughter of John Grantham Hall), also married into the Hatch family. She married Henry HATCH, 12 May 1870 in OroTownship, and they then moved west also. I've not yet determined Henry's relationship to Sarah Ann, but I believe that he is also a grandson of William.
