14572. Walter Hatch. Born ca 1624 in Canterbury, Kent.8 Walter died in Scituate, MA on 24 May 1699.8 Occupation: shipwright.

Walter may not be the son of Jane Younge, but perhaps a son of an earlier wife of William Hatch.

Walter bore arms 1643. He settled on a point of land northeast of Stoney cove, and southeast of the second Society’s Meetinghouse.53

He built the corn and fulling mills in the Two Mile (for his sons). He was killed by lightning in a stable.42

    Walter settled in the part of Scituate, called “The Two Miles”, which was joined to Marshfield in 1788; and built his house there. He was constable of Scituate. In 1652 George Russell was fined £3 for abusing the constable of Scituate in the execution of his office. In 1654/5 William and Elizabeth Randall were presented for abusing the constabler of Scituate, Walter Hatch, who, “when he strained for teh magistrates table, [the] wife tore the destresse out of his hand, and hurt his had soe as blood was sheed.”

    Walter’s house is known as the the Read House, which is part of the Hatch Homestead along with the Hatch Mill. The Hatch Homestead and Mill Historic District, is located at 385 Union Street in Marshfield. For information about the Hatch Mill Restoration & Preservation Group, see

    Walter made one will in 1681/2 which was never proved; for after his will was made his son, Antipas, became of unsound mind, and Walter made a new will 3 Mar 1682, providing for the maintenance of Antipas, but leaving to his brothers the land formerly intended for him.

        Will abstract: [1: 335-338: OS Docket #9,609 contains the will and inventory.] The will of Walter Hatch, late of Scituate, provided for his wife, Mary and made bequests to his sons, Samuel (eldest), John (executor), Israel (executor), Antipas (to be cared for by John and Israel), and Joseph (youngest): daughters, Jane Sherman, and Bethyah Ford. He also made a bequest to "all my grandchildren that are born before my death." Wit: Thomas Ouldham, Joseph Lapham and Samuel Lapham (each of whom signed by a mark).
        The inventory was taken 1 April 1701 by Josiah Holmes, Thomas Macomber and Israel Hatch. Oath was taken by John and Israel Hatch on 2 April 1701.267

Will: “I give to my two sons, John and Israel Hatch all my land I live upon, and also the two mills. The Corn mill and the Fulling mill with all my 250 acres of upland, also 20 acres of meadow, and 50 or 60 acres of woodland, and 5 acres of swamp. To Jane Sherman, my daughter, 20 pounds sterlng in silver money and a cow. To my daughter, Bethia Ford, 20 pounds sterling in silver money and a cow. To Mary Hatch, my wife, 5 pounds per year.
