Biography

Ebenezer Hatch was born the 29th of November, 1696, at Falmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the son of Jonathan Hatch Jr. & Abigail (Weeks) Hatch.^[1]

Ebenezer's marriage to Lydia Hatch is recorded at Falmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts Bay, the 25th of October, 1720.^[2]

Children found in the Falmouth vital records:^[3]

Jethro Hatch, born the 28th of July, 1721.

Dorcas (Dorkas) Hatch, born the 20th of October, 1723.

Reliance Hatch, born the 1st of May, 1726.

Lois (Loues) Hatch, born the 12th of October, 1729.

Martha Hatch, born the 12th of July, 1732.

It is unknown at this time when or where Ebenezer or Lydia died. The Find a Grave memorial for this Ebenezer has the death date, location & burial information for Eddy Hatch. (See below.) This memorial also has a Jeremiah Hatch connected as a child of Ebenezer. This is false. There is no birth record for a Jeremiah & Ebenezer's family is well documented. The other issue with the memorial, is the lineage. The memorials are connected to create this lineage: Ebenezer, Jonathan Jr. & an unrelated William & Thomas. This is clearly wrong, as Jonathan Hatch Jr. is the son of Jonathan Hatch Sr., the son of Thomas.^[4]

Burial

There is no known death date, location or burial for Ebenezer.

Conflation with Eddy Hatch

"Ebay" as a nickname for this Ebenezer, is a corruption of "Eday" or Eddy Hatch, the son of Benjamin Hatch & Alice Eddy.^[5] The previous death date & location of the 19th of July, 1781 at Willington, CT, belongs to Eddy Hatch, not Ebenezer.^[6] Eddy Hatch has a memorial on Find a Grave. ^[7]

There is now a Find A Grave site for Ebenezer Hatch, parents Jonathan and Abigail, wives Lydia & Hannah. Records birth as November 29, 1696, in Falmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts (Bay Colony). Death date is unknown, but FAG reads death occurred in Willington, Tolland County, Connecticut, British Colonial America. This is the death place of Eddy Hatch, so probably not the death place of Ebenezer. Burial place is unknown. Find A Grave: Memorial #10312553^[8]
