We are split 50/50. Some say Thomas's birthdate in 1525 and others say 1535. Does anyone have documentation, so we can settle this dispute. We now have 14 trees connected to Thomas, so we need this to be as accurate as possible. I have seen variations on the the birth and death locations too. Thanks for your help! John Nye

According to the book "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1916, volume 70, page 254, lists Thomas' birthdate as "probably about 1525". There are several factors to support this, such as Thomas' grandfather's will, written in April 1535, listing the 3 sons of John, Thomas, John and Stephen. If Thomas was the oldest of these 3 sons, it would be difficult to imagine his birthdate would be in 1535. It would have to be earlier.

I can continue to pour through documentation, but my vote at this time, based on the above, would be to use 1525 as the birth year for Thomas Hatch.

Thanks for your message. This is an interesting topic, but I am somewhat removed from this.

Does anyone on this thread know how to turn off email notifications for these messages? I'm getting several a day.
