Notable connections of Patricia Hatten (1940-2009): the paternal Hatten line

Research report, 8 October 2026. Nothing in the repository was changed. Evidence tiers: [D] documented (record, or a published transcript or abstract of one), [C] compiled (genealogy, county history, online tree), [I] inferred, [T] tradition. Ratings: proven / probable / possible / disproven.

Generations are counted from Patricia: 1 her father Jack, 2 Ralph A. Hatten, 3 Thomas J. Hatten, 4 Ralph Hatten and Sarah Ann Philbrick, 5 Thomas Hatten, Elizabeth Wanless, Benjamin Philbrick and Ruth Marvin, and so on.

Read this first: what depends on a doubtful link

• Every famous kin and every colonial ancestor below (Marvin, Mather, Noyes, Brewster, Atherton, Wise) depends on one chain of five links, and two of them are weak:
  1. Ralph A. Hatten (1872) as son of Thomas J. Hatten (1850): possible. Nothing attached in the tree; the only outside support found is a 1919 newspaper item (below).
  2. Ruth Marvin (1802) as daughter of Pickett Marvin (1768-1853): probable on circumstantial evidence only. No record naming her as his daughter has been found.
  3. Thomas J. as son of Ralph and Sarah Ann (Philbrick) Hatten, Sarah Ann as daughter of Benjamin and Ruth (Marvin) Philbrick, and Jack as son of Ralph A.: probable.
• So the Marvin-Mather-Brewster material is good research, but until links 1 and 2 are settled it should go on the site as possible, not as fact. Above Pickett Marvin the line is well documented in published genealogies.
• The Hatten-Wanless side (Thomas Hatten, Ralph Wanless, the Revolutionary soldier) depends on link 1 as well, plus Elizabeth Wanless as Ralph Wanless's daughter (probable, compiled).
• Benjamin Philbrick's parents are unknown. A descent from Thomas Philbrick of Hampton is likely in general but no line exists, so no Philbrick kin can be claimed.
• The Marvins are the Lyme Marvins (Reinold's line), not the Norwalk Marvins (Matthew's line).
• Small world: if the chain holds, Patricia descends from Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson of Roxbury (Joseph Wise, Mary Tompson), who are already ancestors on the Low line. The two lines would meet there, through their daughter Katherine Wise, who married Richard Mather in 1680.

1. Pedigree findings, link by link

1.1 Patricia Hatten → Jack Thomas Hatten and Margaret Kuchenmeister: proven [D]

• 1950 US census, King County, Washington, ED 17-306, sheet 3, lines 7-13; enumerated 14 April 1950; house 9802 [street name hard to read, "Mar..."]. The household: Jack T. Hatten, head, 36, married, born Wash., construction manager; Margaret, wife, 34, born Wisconsin; Patricia, daughter, 9, born Wash.; Jack, son, 8; Linda, daughter, 4; Deborah, daughter, born January [1950]; and Henrietta Hatten, mother, 64, widowed, born Minnesota. Image (free, NARA): https://nara-1950-census.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1950census/43290879-Washington/43290879-Washington-051395/43290879-Washington-051395-0004.jpg (search: https://1950census.archives.gov, name "Hatten", state WA).
• The census also proves Jack's mother was Henrietta, and fits Jack's 1913 birth (36 in April
  1950. and Henrietta's 1886 birth.
• Supporting: Kuay (Queen Anne High School yearbook, Seattle, 1929), band list, "Bob Hatten, Jack Hatten" (https://archive.org/details/kuayqueen1929seat). This places a Jack Hatten in Seattle at the right age; it does not prove identity.
• Archive pages: Patricia Hatten and Jack Thomas Hatten have the parent links as compiled and probable. The 1950 census supports documented and proven.

1.2 Jack Hatten → Ralph A. Hatten (1872-1934): probable [C, I]

• Mother proven (above). That Jack's father was Ralph A. comes only from the Ancestry tree. Henrietta was widowed by 1950, which fits Ralph's death in 1934.
• To settle it: Jack's King County birth return (28 Nov 1913), the 1920 or 1930 census, or Ralph A.'s Washington death certificate (1934). All are free on the Washington State Digital Archives (the site needs a browser; the scripted search failed).

1.3 Ralph A. Hatten (1872) → Thomas J. Hatten (1850) and Sarah Edith Allee: possible [C, I]

• Nothing is attached in the tree.
• Outside support found:
  • Jamestown Weekly Alert (Jamestown, N.D.), 5 June 1919, p. 5: "Mrs T J Hatten formerly of this city of late located at Esmond was in the city today enroute to Seattle Wash. Mrs Hatten reports that she [is] in receipt of a telegram from her son Lieut Tom Hatten advising that [he] has landed safely at New York" (https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn85042405/1919-06-05/ed-1/?sp=5).
  • Same paper, 19 Aug 1915, p. 5: "Conductor Thomas Hatten left to day for Northfield Minn to look after farm matters and a timber deal" (https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn85042405/1915-08-19/ed-1/?sp=5).
  • These tie a Thomas J. Hatten of Jamestown to Northfield, Minnesota (where Ralph and Sarah Ann Hatten lived) and to Seattle, where Ralph A. lived. They do not name Ralph A.
• Open question: Lieut. Tom Hatten (WWI) and "Leigh Rex Hatten" of Jamestown (draft list, Jamestown Weekly Alert, 22 and 29 Aug 1918) were sons of Mrs. T. J. Hatten. Was she Sarah (Allee), mother of a son born in 1872 and of another serving in 1918, or a second wife? Censuses will tell.
• A Century of Stories (Jamestown and Stutsman County) has index entries "Hatten Rex", "Hatten Tom", "Hatten Tom Jr." and "Hatten brothers as clowns", pp. 174-175 (index at files.usgwarchives.net/nd/stutsman/history/century.txt; the site was down when tried).
• To settle it: Ralph A.'s 1934 death certificate; the 1875 Minnesota state census; the 1880 census (Goodhue County).

1.4 Thomas J. Hatten (1850) → Ralph Hatten (1815) and Sarah Ann Philbrick (1831): probable [D, C, I]

• The marriage is documented. Hixon and Hixon, Marriages in Jackson County, Ohio, 1816-1866, p. 31: "Hatten, Ralph — Philbrick, Sarah Ann — 1 Jul 1847". Page image checked (https://archive.org/details/marriagesinjacks0000vari, PDF page 37).
• Thomas J. was born in 1850 at Liberty, Jackson County, three years after this marriage. Ralph's household was in Liberty Township in the 1850 census (FamilySearch 1:1:MXQF-L8N, family 360, cited on WikiTree Hatten-31).
• The 1915 "Conductor Thomas Hatten … Northfield" item supports the family tie [I].
• Not yet seen: a census showing Thomas in Ralph's household.
• Ralph had an earlier family. Josiah Hatten (b. 20 Jun 1837, d. 1925 Everett, Wash.) was in Ralph's 1850 household (FamilySearch 1:1:MXQF-L82, cited on WikiTree Hatton-402). That is ten years before the Philbrick marriage, so Josiah was evidently a son by an unidentified first wife. WikiTree makes Josiah a son of Thomas Hatten (1787) and Ruth Bowen, but they married on 19 Dec 1837, six months after his birth; that conflict is unresolved.
• WikiTree lists Lucretia J. Hatten (1848-1909) as a daughter of Ralph and Sarah Ann.
• Burials: the tree's media give headstones for "Ralph Hatten" and "Sarah A Hatten" at Red Rose Cemetery, Waterford, Dakota County, Minnesota (GEDCOM objects O13 and O30, from Find a Grave).

1.5 Ralph Hatten (1815) → Thomas Benjamin Hatten (1786/7-1865) and Elizabeth Wanless (1797-1831): probable [C, I]

• Thomas Hatten married Elizabeth Wanless on 10 Feb 1813 in Bath County, Va. [C]: Don Norman, "Descendants of Ralph Wanless" (Don Norman Files, Wade-Whytsell, https://archive.org/details/don-norman-files-wade-whytsell-20230710, file "Wanless, Ralph (1756-1842)"), and WikiTree Hatten-29. Ralph's birth in Bath County in 1815 fits.
• Naming evidence [I]: Ralph bore his maternal grandfather's name (Ralph Wanless), and he named a daughter Lucretia (b. 1848) after his grandmother, Lucretia ("Crissy") Nichols Wanless. Lucretia is an uncommon name.
• Both men lived in Jackson County, Ohio. Thomas was in Franklin Township at 64 in 1850 and at 73 in 1860 (censuses transcribed on WikiTree Bowen-1847).
• Thomas's second marriage is documented (Hixon, p. 31): "Hatten, Thomas — Bowen, Ruth — 19 Dec 1837".
• Norman lists only Stephen M. (b. 1828) as a "known child" of Thomas and Elizabeth; he does not list Ralph.
• To settle it: Thomas's probate (Douglas County, Kansas, 1865, or Jackson County, Ohio); Ralph's 1895 obituary.

1.6 Thomas Hatten (1786/7) → John Hatten (1758-1824) and Sarah McGrieh/McGriel: possible, with conflicts

• WikiTree Hatten-87 (John) and McGriel-1 (Sarah) are both marked {{Unsourced}}. John died 13 May 1824 at New Carlisle, Clark County, Ohio; Sarah died there in 1831.
• Hattens were in New Carlisle later: H. C. and F. M. Hatten, nurserymen, 1898 (https://archive.org/details/HCFMHattenmater00HCFM). That does not link them to John.
• The tree attaches to John Hatten a 1799 London newspaper clipping ("The Evening Mail", newspapers.com clip 83421623). If Thomas was born in Virginia in 1786/7, this is almost certainly a namesake.
• A "Mark Hatten" appears in the Restored Marriage Bonds, Augusta County, vol. II (1787-1789) (https://archive.org/details/volume-2-marriage-bonds-1787-1789). This is a lead only.
• The archive's research notes call him "John Hatten of Southwark"; nothing found supports it.

1.7 Elizabeth Wanless → Ralph Wanless (c. 1756/7-1842) and Lucretia ("Crissy") Nichols: probable [C, I]

• Norman lists Elizabeth (b. 1797, d. 1831 Jackson County, Ohio; married Thomas Hatten 10 Feb 1813 in Bath County) among Ralph and Lucretia's children [C].
• The naming evidence above supports it [I].
• DAR Magazine, vol. 44 no. 3 (March 1914), answer to query 2291: "The names of daughters of Ralph Wanless are not given in sketch but the will of Ralph Wanless is probably recorded [in] Pocahontas County" (https://archive.org/details/sim_american-spirit_1914-03_44_3). The will (Pocahontas County, now W.Va., 1842) would settle this link.
• Ralph's marriage is documented [D, abstract]: the bond is dated 20 Sept 1788 (Chalkley, Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, vol. II, p. 308), and Ralph "Wandless" married "Crissy Nicholas" on 30 Sept 1788 (Chalkley II:351; also Peyton, History of Augusta County, 1882). The DAR answer quotes both.
• Ralph Wanless's own mother was Margaret, "a widow Wanless when she married John Carlisle" (Chalkley II:252, quoted in the DAR answer). She named "children Ralph and Stephen Wanless, Margaret Clayton, Mary Armstrong" (Alderman archive transcription, found by full-text search on archive.org).
  • The tree has his parents as Ralph Wanless (b. 1722) and Margaret Wiley Adams, and his grandfather as Luke Wanless of Auckland (b. 1702). Only the mother's identity is supported: probable.
  • The father is not named in any record found: possible.
  • Lillian Kennerly Craig, Reverend John Craig … descendants and allied families (1963), calls the parents "Ralph Wandless Sr. and Margaret Adams Wandless" and gives Ralph's birth as about
    1759. A Newcastle burial of a Ralph Wandless on 1 June 1770 is cited in the Alderman archive. All of this is compiled.

1.8 Sarah Ann Philbrick → Benjamin Philbrick (1791-bef. 1834) and Ruth Marvin (1802-1891/7): probable [D, I]

• Philbricks in Jackson County: in the Jackson County marriage index for 1816-1866 the name Philbrick occurs only twice:
  • "Rice, George — Philbricks, Ruth — 8 May 1834" (Hixon, p. 63; image checked);
  • Sarah Ann's own marriage in 1847. Ruth was the widow of Benjamin, who married her in Gallia County on 3 May 1818 [D, index] ("Ohio, County Marriages", FamilySearch 1:1:XD4V-XBS, Gallia marriage book p. 76; cited on WikiTree Marvin-1790 and Philbrick-1014).
• Ruth's later marriages: "Cheeseman, William — Rice, Ruth — 27 Feb 1853" (Hixon, p. 10; image checked). Ruth Cheeseman was in Minnesota by the 1857 territorial census, and in Northfield, Rice County, in 1875 and 1880 (FamilySearch citations on WikiTree Marvin-1790).
• Same cemetery [I]: Ruth is buried at Red Rose Cemetery, Waterford, Dakota County (Find a Grave 18922133, "Ruth Marvin Cheesman"), where Ralph and Sarah A. Hatten are buried. Mother and daughter thus lived and were buried in the same Minnesota neighbourhood.
• A probable elder sister lived next door. Neill, History of Dakota County (1881), p. 391, Green Vale biographies: "Mrs. P. Howell was born in Ohio in 1820. Her maiden name was Parmelie Philbrick, and in 1835 she was united in marriage with Stephen Radcliff who died in 1847 … Mrs. Howell relates many incidents regarding pioneer life in Minnesota, and the hardships she endured through her journey, being obliged to travel five hundred miles by ox team." (https://archive.org/details/mn-dakota-1881-neill). Benjamin and Ruth married in 1818, so a daughter born in 1820 fits.
• To settle it: the 1880 census for Sarah A. Hatten (her parents' birthplaces), her 1882 death or burial record, and Ruth's obituary.

1.9 Benjamin Philbrick: birth and ancestry — birth possible; Hampton descent possible

• Birth: 14 Dec 1791, Whitefield, Maine. Source: "Maine Births and Christenings", Benjamin Philbrook, 1791 (FamilySearch 1:1:F47L-9LJ, cited on WikiTree Philbrick-1014). That index normally names the parents; it has not been seen. That the Maine-born Benjamin and the Ohio husband are one man is an assumption of the compilers [C].
• In Ohio: a compiled Philbrick site (homepages.rootsweb.com/~nvjack/fylbrigg/data/b12519.htm, seen only through search snippets; RootsWeb returns 403) has him in Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, in 1820, and in Fairfield County in 1830 with his wife and two young daughters.
• Chapman, Genealogy of the Philbrick and Philbrook Families (1886) (https://archive.org/details/genealogyofphilb1886chap) has no Benjamin born 14 Dec 1791 or born in Whitefield. The nearest are:
  • Benjamin, born 4 Oct 1791, son of Stephen and Betsey (Folsom) Philbrick of Mt. Vernon and Rome, Maine (p. 72);
  • Benjamin, born 14 Mar 1792, son of James, who "rem. to Vermont" in 1803 (No. 139). Neither matches.
• Thomas Philbrick of Hampton (1630s): Chapman's title treats the Philbrick and Philbrook families as "descended from the emigrant, Thomas Philbrick, 1583-1667", so a Hampton descent is likely in general [I]. With no line, the link is possible, and no Philbrick kin can be counted.

1.10 Ruth Marvin (1802) → Pickett Marvin (1768-1853) and Polly (Mary) Warth: probable [C, I]. The key weak link.

Evidence:

• Pickett at Letart. He was the Marvin family head at Letart, the place given for Ruth's birth.
  • The index Gallia County, Ohio, Residents lists "MARVIN, Picket … Letart" and "MARVIN, Calvin … Letart" (restricted item galliacountyohio0000vari, seen through archive.org full-text search).
  • Larkin, Pioneer History of Meigs County (1908), p. 114, quoting Col. Barber's letter of 1881: "Pickett Marvin, a young man from the Eastern States, married Polly Warth, a sister of Catharine Fletcher. They settled in Gallia county, where Mr. Marvin served several years as Magistrate." (https://archive.org/details/pioneerhistoryof00lark_0)
  • Letart was in Gallia County until Meigs was formed in 1819.
• Ruth married in Gallia County, 1818.
• The move to Bloomfield. Pickett's family moved to Bloomfield Township, Jackson County, in 1819, and Benjamin Philbrick was there in 1820. Willard, Standard History of the Hanging Rock Iron Region of Ohio (1916), vol. 1, p. 508: "Dr. Timothy Marvin, born January 6, 1812, who came with his parents to Bloomfield Township in 181[9], died May 5, 1875" (https://archive.org/details/standardhistoryo01will).
• Pickett died at Bloomfield, June 1853, "leaving issue": Marvin genealogy (1904), p. 93, and Salisbury (1892).
• Ruth's whole adult life until 1853 was spent in Jackson County.
• Compiled trees list Ruth among the children of Pickett and Polly: Geneanet tdowling (seen through a search snippet only) and FamilySearch Tree KHNJ-DT5 (not seen).

Against, or missing: no record names Ruth as Pickett's daughter. The 1904 Marvin genealogy names only "Timothy, res. Bloomfield" among his children ("no further particulars have been learned").

To settle it: Pickett Marvin's estate or will (Jackson County Probate Court, 1853); Ruth's death record or obituary (Northfield, 1891 or 1897); the 1818 Gallia marriage record.

1.11 Pickett Marvin → Capt. Timothy Marvin and Sarah Perkins of Lyme: probable to proven [C]

• Two independent compilations from the Lyme records give the same man and tie him to Ohio:
  • Descendants of Reinold and Matthew Marvin (1904), p. 93 (https://archive.org/details/cu31924012053629): "Pickett, b. 5 Feb., 1768; d. June, 1853, in Bloomfield, O.; he removed to Ohio, and res. in Jackson and Chilicothe, where he accumulated a handsome estate; he m. and had issue, of whom one was Timothy, res. Bloomfield".
  • Salisbury, Family Histories and Genealogies (1892), vol. III part 1, Marvin monograph: "Picket, born February 5, 1768; who removed to Ohio, and resided in Jackson and Chillicothe, where he accumulated a handsome estate; was a Representative in the State Legislature; and died in June 1853, in Bloomfield, O., leaving issue" (https://archive.org/details/familyhistoriesg31sali).
• The legislative service is documented [D, published roster]. Taylor, Ohio Statesmen and Hundred Year Book (1892), 8th General Assembly, 1809-1810, House: "Pickett Marvin, Gallia" (https://archive.org/details/OhioStatesmenAndHundredYearBookFrom1788To1892).

1.12 The Lyme Marvins: proven [C, citing Lyme vital records]

All from the Marvin genealogy (1904):

• Capt. Timothy Marvin (b. 23 May 1744 Lyme, d. 27 Feb 1808) married (1) on 30 May 1765 Sarah Perkins (b. 1 Sept 1747, d. 23 Oct 1795), daughter of James and Margaret (Andrews) Perkins (p. 92).
• Capt. Timothy was the son of Capt. Elisha Marvin (b. 8 Mar 1717/18, d. 31 Dec 1801) and Catharine Mather (b. 11 Jan 1717/18, d. 4 Dec 1799), married at Lyme on 17 May 1739 (pp. 66-67).
• Capt. Elisha was the son of Capt. Reinold Marvin (1669-1737) and his second wife Martha Waterman (1680-1753) (pp. 48-50).
• Capt. Reinold was the son of Lieut. Reinold Marvin (bap. Great Bentley 20 Dec 1631, d. Lyme 4 Aug 1676) and Sarah Clark (p. 38).
• Lieut. Reinold was the son of Reinold Marvin (bap. Great Bentley 25 Oct 1594, d. Lyme 1662) and Marie (p. 29).

1.13 Catharine Mather → Mathers, Athertons and Wises: proven, except the Atherton step (probable) [C]

Source: Horace E. Mather, Lineage of Rev. Richard Mather (1890) (https://archive.org/details/lineageofrevrich0000unse).

• Catharine was the daughter of Capt. Timothy Mather (b. 20 Mar 1681, d. 25 Jul 1755) and Sarah Noyes (p. 106; also Marvin 1904, p. 66).
• Capt. Timothy was the son of Richard Mather (1653-1688) and Catherine (Katherine) Wise, married 1 Jul 1680 (p. 75).
• Richard was the son of Timothy Mather (1628-1684), "the Mather farmer", and Catharine, "daughter of Maj.-Gen. Humphrey Atherton" (pp. 54-55).
• Timothy was the son of Rev. Richard Mather (1596-1669) and Katherine Holt.
• Atherton caveat: WikiTree Mather-184 and Wikipedia's Humphrey Atherton article differ on whether Timothy's first wife was Catherine or Elizabeth Atherton. They agree she was a daughter of Humphrey Atherton, so he remains an ancestor either way. Anderson's Great Migration entry would settle it.
• Katherine Wise was baptized at Roxbury on 10 Oct 1658, daughter of Joseph Wise and Mary Thompson: Roxbury VR 1:389; R. C. Anderson, "Joseph Wise of Roxbury, Butcher", TAG 56:80-82 (1980), as cited on WikiTree Wise-984. These are the archive's Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson (see section 3).

1.14 Sarah Noyes → Noyes, Pickett and Brewster: proven [C]

• Sarah Noyes (b. 1683, d. 16 Aug 1756) was the daughter of Rev. Moses Noyes (1643-1729), the first minister of Lyme, and Ruth Pickett. Source: Noyes, Genealogical Record of … Noyes Descendants (1904), vol. 2, chapter V, p. 158: "22 SARAH, b. 1683; m. Timothy Mather; d. 16 Aug., 1756" (https://archive.org/details/genealogicalrecor02noye). Her death is in the Barbour Collection (WikiTree Noyes-884).
• Ruth Pickett (d. 14 Sept 1690, aged 36) was the daughter of John Pickett of New London and Ruth Brewster (b. 3 Oct 1631). Ruth Brewster was the daughter of Jonathan Brewster, son of Elder William Brewster of the Mayflower. Source: The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907 (1908), vol. 1, pp. 16-17 (https://archive.org/details/brewstergenealog190801jone).
• Rev. Moses Noyes was the son of Rev. James Noyes of Newbury and Sarah Brown. James was the son of Rev. William Noyes, rector of Cholderton, and Anne Parker, "sister of Rev. Robert Parker". James sailed in 1634 "in company with his brother Nicholas and his cousin Thomas Parker". Source: Noyes' Genealogy (1889), pp. 6-7 (https://archive.org/details/noyesgenealogyre00noye).

2. Notable ancestors: short stories with quotations

Each ancestor is given with the rating of the weakest link between them and Patricia.

Ralph Wanless (c. 1756/7-1842), blacksmith and Revolutionary soldier. Patricia's 4th great-grandfather. Possible: this depends on links 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7.

• The DAR Magazine (March 1914, query 2291) summarizes his pension declaration of 7 Aug 1832: "Ralph Wanless performed actual service as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, as shown by his pension declaration in which he refers to service at three times, one of them being under Capt. George Poage at Clover Licks … He was a native of England and 75 years old at date of making declaration."
• Norman adds, from the same file, that he was drafted from the Calfpasture River, served at Norfolk for nine months, and served "as an 'Indian spy' at Clover Lick in Bath County".
• Price, Historical Sketches of Pocahontas County (1901), pp. 455-459 (https://archive.org/details/HistoricalSketchesOfPocahontasCounty):
  • "According to tradition vaguely entertained, Ralph and Stephen Wanless, natives of England, came to Virginia and settled on the Wanless place, near Mount Tabor school house, in the 'Hills,' five miles north of Huntersville."
  • "Most all the Wanless brothers were industrious and skillful workers in iron, acquired from their father, who seems to have been a genius in that line of industry … When Ralph Wanless and his sons wrought at the anvil and caused the primitive forests to ring with their strong and resonant striking of hammers and sledges, their business was of essential importance."
• Price also describes his son Rev. James Wanless, a Methodist preacher and Elizabeth's brother if she was Ralph's daughter: "How would John the Baptist have looked in a swallow tailed coat, pointed toed shoes, pipe, whiskey bottle, and stovepipe hat, et cetera!"

Thomas Hatten (1786/7-1865). 3rd great-grandfather. Possible.

• Born in Virginia. He married in Bath County in 1813 and moved to Jackson County, Ohio, where he married Ruth Bowen in 1837.
• He was still farming in Franklin Township at 73 (1860). He died at Eudora, Kansas, on 6 Oct 1865 (Find a Grave 127118729), when he was nearly eighty.
• His widow remarried at Douglas County, Kansas, in January 1869.
• WikiTree cites a War of 1812 service record, not yet seen.

Ruth (Marvin) Philbrick Rice Cheeseman (1802-1891/7). 3rd great-grandmother. Probable as Sarah Ann's mother; possible overall because of link 1.3.

• Born at Letart on the Ohio River in 1802. She was widowed twice before she was 52 and married three times (1818, 1834, 1853).
• In her mid-fifties she went to Minnesota Territory, where she appears in the 1857 census.
• She died at Northfield and was buried at Red Rose Cemetery beside her daughter's family.

Pickett Marvin (1768-1853). 4th great-grandfather. Possible overall: links 1.3 and 1.10.

• Born at Lyme, Connecticut; magistrate in Gallia County; member of the Ohio House, 1809-10.
• He "accumulated a handsome estate" in Jackson and Chillicothe (Marvin 1904, p. 93).
• He married Polly Warth, of a family listed among those "in and near Fort Harmar in the time of the Indian hostilities" (Larkin, p. 114). Larkin says of the Fleehart sisters who married George and John Warth: "It was said that Sally Fleehart could bring down a hawk upon the wing, or a squirrel from a tree top as readily as her husband, John Warth." Polly's own mother is not identified.

Capt. Elisha Marvin (1717/18-1801) and Catharine Mather (1717/18-1799). 6th great-grandparents. Source: Marvin genealogy (1904), pp. 66-67.

• He was Lyme selectman 1754-61, and representative to the General Court in 1766 and 1767.
• In 1774 the town appointed him to a committee "to 'raise funds to aid the town of Boston in its distressed condition.'"
• His will left his son Joseph his "silver-hilted sword".
• Catharine "was 'a charming woman of devout character, endowed with lively wit, and very agreeable in conversation.'"

Capt. Reinold Marvin (1669-1737) and Martha Waterman (1680-1753). 7th great-grandparents. Source: Marvin genealogy (1904), pp. 48-50.

• He was captain of Lyme's first train-band and sat in the General Court for most of 1711-1728.
• For his first marriage he "wrote it in rhyme, and nailed it to the meeting-house door": "Reinold Marvin and Phebe Lee / Do intend to marry: / And though her dad opposed be, / We can no longer tarry." Phebe Lee was his first wife, not Patricia's ancestor.
• Martha's stone in the Duck River burying ground reads: "Here lies the body of Martha Marvin, relict of Captain Reinold Marvin, who died in peace in hopes of a glorious resurrection, Nov. A. D. 1753, in the 74th year of her age."

Reinold Marvin (1594-1662) and Marie. 9th great-grandparents. Marvin genealogy (1904), p. 29.

• Marie died at Lyme in 1661. "Her death was attributed to 'witchcraft.'" Nicholas and Margaret Jennings of Saybrook were indicted for "having enterteined familiarity with Sathan … to ye loss of ye liues of seueral psons, and in particuler ye wife of Reynold Marvin." The jury did not agree.

Rev. Moses Noyes (1643-1729) and Ruth Pickett. 8th great-grandparents.

• "He was the first minister of Lyme, Conn., where he preached fifty years. He had Cedar Swamp lots awarded for Indian War service (Naragansett Vols.)" (Noyes 1904, vol. 2, p. 158).
• Salisbury (1892) describes "an old desk, inherited from Rev. Moses Noyes (whose wife was a descendant of Elder Brewster), and believed to have been brought to New England by the Elder" [T].
• Ruth's father, John Pickett, "dyed at Sea returning from Barbadoes" in 1667. His estate of £1140 "was sufficient to rank him, at that period, as one of the wealthiest merchants of the place" (Brewster Genealogy, p. 17).

Elder William Brewster (c. 1566-1644), of the Mayflower. 11th great-grandfather, through Jonathan Brewster and Ruth (Brewster) Pickett. He was the ruling elder of Plymouth Colony (Wikipedia). This would be a new Mayflower line in the archive. Small world: Thomas Prence, an archive ancestor on another line, married the Elder's daughter Patience (Thomas Prence).

Rev. Richard Mather (1596-1669). 10th great-grandfather. Wikipedia: co-author of the Bay Psalm Book (1640), "probably the first book printed in the English colonies", and drafter of the Cambridge Platform (1646).

• His son Timothy Mather (1628-1684), the 9th great-grandfather, "was the only son of the emigrant that grew up to manhood who was not a preacher and is called the 'Mather farmer' … Timothy had a fall in his barn, which resulted in his death at the age of 56 years" (Mather 1890, p. 55).

Maj.-Gen. Humphrey Atherton (d. 1661). 10th great-grandfather; probable, see the caveat in 1.13.

• He held the highest military rank in colonial New England, and was Speaker in 1653.
• Wikipedia, quoting the old account of his death on Boston Common: "His horse took fright, and threw him to the ground, so that his brains were dashed about the street." A cow had startled the horse.
• Small world: Hopestill Foster, an archive ancestor, was ensign of the Dorchester train band "under Humphrey Atherton" (Hopestill Foster).

Rev. James Noyes (1608-1656). 9th great-grandfather. A founder of Newbury, Massachusetts (Wikipedia).

3.1 Patricia's own line from the shared ancestors

This is the chain behind every entry in the table, from the most recent shared ancestors down.

• Rev. Richard Mather and Katherine Holt → Timothy Mather (1628-1684), who married Catharine Atherton → Richard Mather (1653-1688), who married Katherine Wise, daughter of Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson → Capt. Timothy Mather (1681-1755), who married Sarah Noyes.
• Capt. Timothy Mather and Sarah Noyes → Catharine Mather (1717/18-1799), who married Capt. Elisha Marvin (1717/18-1801). Elisha was the son of Capt. Reinold Marvin and Martha Waterman; Capt. Reinold was the son of Lieut. Reinold Marvin and Sarah Clark.
• Catharine and Elisha → Capt. Timothy Marvin (1744-1808) → Pickett Marvin (1768-1853) [link 1.10] → Ruth Marvin (1802-1891/7) → Sarah Ann Philbrick (1831-1882) → Thomas J. Hatten (1850-1924) [link 1.3] → Ralph A. Hatten (1872-1934) → Jack Thomas Hatten (1913-1996) → Patricia.

3.2 Each kin's line from the shared ancestor

• Stephen Tyng Mather. From Capt. Timothy Mather and Sarah Noyes: Rev. Dr. Moses Mather (1719-1806) → Dea. Joseph Mather (1753-1840) → Joseph Mather (1789-1864) → Joseph Wakeman Mather (b. 1820) → Stephen Tyng Mather (1867-1930).
  • Sources: Mather 1890, pp. 120, 157-158, 224, 358-359: "His sole surviving child, Stephen Tyng Mather, graduated from the University of California at the age of nineteen years."
  • Wikipedia on Stephen Mather: the Darien homestead "had been built by his great-grandfather about 1778", which fits Dea. Joseph (married 1777).
• Dudley Marvin. From Capt. Elisha and Catharine: Dea. Elisha Marvin (1742-1817) → Dudley Marvin (1786-1852). Sources: Marvin 1904, pp. 91 and 128-129; Wikipedia (son of "Elisa" Marvin and Elizabeth Selden).
• Bishop Enoch Mather Marvin. From Capt. Elisha and Catharine: Enoch Marvin (1747-1841) → Wells Ely Marvin (1791-1856) → Enoch Mather Marvin (1823-1877). Source: Marvin 1904, pp. 94, 134-135, 203-204.
• Gen. Elihu Marvin. Brother of Capt. Timothy Marvin. Marvin 1904, pp. 96-97: "he thrust his orderly-book into his bosom, and on his return to quarters found a bullet lodged in the book."
• William Marvin and Richard Pratt Marvin. From Capt. Reinold and his first wife Phebe Lee: Dea. Reinold Marvin (1698/9-1761), who married his cousin Sarah, daughter of John Marvin (son of Lieut. Reinold) → Capt. Dan Marvin (1730/1-1776) → Selden Marvin (1773-1832) → William Marvin (1808-1902) and Richard Pratt Marvin (1803-1892). Source: Marvin 1904, pp. 51, 86, 120, 185-186.
• Edmund Kirby Smith. From Capt. Reinold and Phebe Lee: Dea. Reinold → Reinold Marvin of Litchfield (1726-1802) → Ruth Marvin, who married Ephraim Kirby → Frances Kirby (Smith) → Edmund Kirby Smith. Source: Marvin 1904, pp. 84, 118, 142ff; the book says its account of the Kirbys "was furnished by the late Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith".
• Increase and Cotton Mather. Rev. Richard Mather → Increase Mather → Cotton Mather (Wikipedia; Mather 1890).
• Rev. Nicholas Noyes. Rev. William Noyes and Anne Parker → Nicholas Noyes, brother of Rev. James (Noyes 1889, p. 6) → Rev. Nicholas Noyes. Wikipedia names Rev. James as his uncle. Wikipedia quotes Sarah Good's reply, "God will give you blood to drink", but notes that it "does not appear in any of contemporary reports of the execution."
• Rev. John Wise. Son of Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson; brother of Katherine (Wise) Mather.
• Seth Low. Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson → Mary Wise → Mary Lamb, who married David Low → Capt. David Low → David Low → Capt. David Low → Seth Low (1782-1853) → Abiel Abbot Low → Seth Low. These steps are the archive's own (seth-low, Mary Lamb, Mary Wise).
• Diana, Princess of Wales. Through Dorothy Tompson, sister of Mary (Tompson) Wise. These are the archive's existing steps; that Mary Tompson was Alice Freeman's daughter is only probable there.

3.3 Not counted

• Elder William Brewster's descendants (Wikipedia lists Zachary Taylor, Julia Child and others) are not listed, because no lines were worked out.
• Thomas Parker, the Newbury minister and first cousin of Rev. James Noyes, is not listed, because the shared Parker grandparents are unnamed.

4. Conflicts with the archive's pages, and suggested additions

• Patricia Hatten, Jack Thomas Hatten. The 1950 census documents Patricia as Jack's daughter and Henrietta as Jack's mother.
• Ralph Hatten.
  • The page has born 25 Jul 1815 and died 20 Aug 1895. WikiTree Hatten-31 has born 30 Jun 1815 and died 25 Jul 1895. The Red Rose headstone (Find a Grave) should settle it.
  • Add: married Sarah Ann Philbrick on 1 Jul 1847 in Jackson County (Hixon p. 31), and buried at Red Rose Cemetery, Waterford.
  • The 1850 household included Josiah (b. 1837), so there was an earlier marriage.
• Thomas Benjamin Hatten.
  • Death: Find a Grave gives 6 Oct 1865 at Eudora, but WikiTree's death field says 30 Jul 1867, Jackson County. Eudora fits his widow's 1869 Kansas remarriage.
  • Add: second marriage to Ruth Bowen, 19 Dec 1837 (Hixon p. 31).
  • The parent note reads "20 Dec 1758 - 13 May 1824, St Saviour, Denmark Park, Surrey". In the GEDCOM, St Saviour is John Hatten's birthplace and New Carlisle, Clark County, Ohio, is his death place. Likewise Sarah's "Dunstew, Oxfordshire" is a birthplace, and she died at New Carlisle.
  • John Hatten's 1799 London newspaper clipping is probably a namesake's.
• Elizabeth Wanless.
  • The father note gives only Newcastle upon Tyne, which is his birthplace. The tree's death places for Ralph ("Pocahontas, Chesterfield, Virginia") and for Lucretia ("Pocahontas, Tazewell, Virginia") should be Pocahontas County, Virginia (now W.Va.).
  • Ralph's birth: 28 Mar 1756 (tree), against about 1757 from his 1832 pension declaration (aged
    75. and about 1759 in the Craig genealogy.
  • Lucretia's birth: 1765 (tree), against about 1770 (Norman).
  • Marriage: bond 20 Sept 1788, married 30 Sept 1788, Augusta County (Chalkley).
• Sarah Ann Philbrick. Birthplace "Liberty, Fairfield": Benjamin was in Jackson County in 1820 and in Fairfield County in 1830 (compiled), and Liberty Township exists in both counties. Treat it as uncertain. Add the 1847 marriage and her burial at Red Rose.
• Benjamin Philbrick. Add: married Ruth Marvin on 3 May 1818 in Gallia County; died before 8 May 1834, when Ruth remarried. Whitefield, Maine, was not incorporated until 1809.
• Ruth Marvin.
  • Death: 27 Jun 1891 (tree) against 1897 (WikiTree Marvin-1790). Find a Grave 18922133 should settle it.
  • Add her later names: Ruth Rice (married 8 May 1834) and Ruth Cheeseman/Cheesman (married 27 Feb 1853).
  • In 1802 Letart was in Washington County, Northwest Territory. It was in Gallia County from 1803 and in Meigs County from 1819.
  • Add Pickett Marvin and Polly Warth as parents, with confidence possible to probable, and the question in Open questions.
• The archive's colonial notes:
  • "John Hatten of Southwark": unsupported.
  • "The Wanlesses of Newcastle": only the mother, Margaret (later Carlisle), is supported.
• Joseph Wise and Mary Tompson. If this chain holds, Katherine Wise (bap. Roxbury 10 Oct 1658; married Richard Mather 1 Jul 1680; died 12 Sept 1686 at Lyme) needs a page. The Low and Hatten lines would then meet there.

6. Checked and ruled out (or unlinked)

• Thomas Hatten of Elizabeth City County, Va. (deed witness, 1793): a Tidewater namesake with no link.
• John Hatten of London (1799 newspaper): a namesake; it does not fit a son born in Virginia in 1786/7.
• Mark Hatten in the Augusta County marriage bonds of 1787-89: not linked; a lead only.
• The Hatten nurserymen of New Carlisle (1898): not linked.
• "Ralph Hatten" in the Bottineau County, N.D., draft list of 1918, and other Ralph Hattens: namesakes.
• Chapman's Benjamin Philbricks (b. 4 Oct 1791, son of Stephen; b. 14 Mar 1792, son of James; b. 1795 at Mt. Vernon): none matches 14 Dec 1791 at Whitefield.
• Famous Philbricks (Nathaniel Philbrick the author, Herbert Philbrick): no line.
• The Matthew Marvin (Norwalk) line: not Ruth's. Her line is Reinold's of Lyme.
• Calvin Marvin of Letart (juror; his daughter Minerva married Henry Hayman): not Pickett's brother Calvin, who went to Bloomfield, N.Y., and to Michigan. He may be Pickett's son; that is not a connection in itself.
• Ephraim Kirby, and Ruth (Welch) Marvin (who made 6,058 cartridges from the melted statue of George III): related by marriage, not blood.
• George Washington Rice Sr. (1781-1850), Ruth's second husband: no blood relation. George W. Rice Jr. (1839-1917) would be Sarah Ann's half-brother: close family, not notable.
