From Charles Lathrop Pack, Thomas Hatch of Barnstable and Some of His Descendants, (Newark, NJ: The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey, 1930), pg. 39:
"He embarked for America for the first time in March 1634-5, sailing from Sandwich in the ship Hercules with his wife Jane, five children, and six servants. In the same ship sailed his cousin, Lydia (Huckstep) Tilden (7, i, 7), with her husband, Nathaniel Tilden, and their children. William Hatch and his family settled at Scituate, where he built a house on Kent Street, and was admitted freeman on 5 January 1635-6. He returned to England, but came back to New England in April 1638, in the ship Castle.(*) It is probable that his brother Thomas (10) with his wife and children and his sister Elizabeth Soan (12) with her son William came with him on this voyage. In 1643 William Hatch was chosen the first ruling elder of the Second Church of Scituate, and in August of that year he with his sons Walter and John appears on the list of those in Scituate able to bear arms (that is, they were between 16 and 60 years of age). In the same year also he was lieutenant of the trainband."
