If you have not already done so, I suggest looking at the HATCH families who
were in Falmouth, Barnstable, MA in the 1700s. At least one daughter of
Thomas (1723), Meribah (1759-1801) married David MOOERS (Nantucket,
Falmouth, MA 1762) and resided in Pittston, Kennebec (Lincoln), ME. I have
not followed Meribah's brothers (Nathan (abt 1752) nor James (1755). My own
Francis HATCH (1796, Parsonsfield, York, ME) appears to have arrived by UFO
as no one has yet located his ancestors. I keep hoping that mine will
connect with yours!
Regards,
Sharyn
