Wheelwright, and had his first home on 200 a. on Ogunquit Riv. bot from Mrs. Mary Bowles in May 1684; liv. later at Maryland Riv., where he bot from Caleb Kimball 10 July 1710. Gr.j. 7 times 1692-1710. In Mar. 1749, ag. 90, and June 1750, ag. 94, he depos. that he had been an inhab. of Wells ab. 83 yrs. He m. 1st (Ct. May 1685) Mary Littlefield, 2d one Lydia from the Ch. at York, adm. to Wells Ch. as Lydia Hatch in 1723. She was liv. 1737, not in his will 3 Feb. 1741-2 - 16 Oct 1753, naming 8 ch. and deed. dau. Jemima; s. Jos. exec. and princ. heir, the others already provid. for. Ch: Bethia, Benjamin, Jemima, Samuel, Nathan, John, Philip, Eunice, Mary, Joseph. App. it was ano. Joseph in Biddeford 1733, pub. to Abigail Fletcher there 18 Jan. 1734-5, and acc. by her in Apr. 1735. [ref 22] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Samuel3 Hatch (Philip2, John1) was born in or about 1660, in York. He married about 1684 Mary Littlefield of Wells, answering the usual accusation of undue haste in the court of May, 1685. This was apparently a union of two strong physical stocks. In a period of high infant mortality, very few of the children and grandchildren of this couple died in infancy. Their five sons were the fathers of fifty children, and, if the four daughters were equally prolific, Samuel and Mary Hatch had ninety grandchildren. According to the 1790 census, there were thirty-one families containing one hundred and sixty-one persons by the name of Hatch living in Wells in that year, while other members of the family had spread to other Maine towns. Mary Hatch died before 1723. He married secondly, Lydia ___, who was received into the Wells church from York on June 2, 1723. She was living in 1737, but did not survive him. Samuel Hatch came to Wells when he was a small boy of seven and was probably brought up as an apprentice in the family of Samuel Wheelwright, Esq., where he would have obtained good education and training. In May, 1684, he bought from Mrs. Mary Bowles of Portsmouth her late husband's farm of two hundred acres on the Ogunquit river, which place he farmed for about twenty years. He sold one half of this farm to Joseph Littlefield in 1701. It was possibly at about this time that he formed a partnership with David Littlefield and William Frost to build and operate a saw-mill on a tract of two hundred acres on the Merryland river granted them by the town. In 1710 when the partners bought one hundred and ten acres from George Butland the mill and land were owned by Hatch, Littlefield, Joseph Hill and Jonathan Littlefield, and in 1718 they made an indenture dividing the property into four quarters. In 1710 Hatch had exchanged one hundred acres, possibly the remaining half of the Bowles purchase, with Caleb Kimball for one hundred acres adjoining his own land at Merryland, and in 1712 he bought from Ezediel Knight fifty acres on the Webhannet river. Possibly he lived on one or the other of these places. In 1721 John Eldridge sold Hatch one-third of the Ezediel Knight place "next adjoining to the meeting-house," and on the same day Hatch exchanged this land for an equal quantity of land lying next to it and also belonging to Eldridge. Parts of these purchases he apparently gave to his three eldest sons. Hatch served on the York grand jury seven times between 1692 and 1710, and on the trial jury in 1697 and 1697/8. He was a proprietor of Wells in 1715/6 and held four shares in the common lands in 1734. He was one of the early members of the Wells church, being baptized and received into communion on November 30, 1701. In his later years Hatch made several depositions about earlier days in Wells. In 1730, aged sixty-nine, he testified as to Wheelwright land; in 1746, aged eighty-six, as to Thomas Wilson's settlement at Merryland forty-six years before; in 1749, aged ninety, "he hath been an Inhabitant of Wells about Eighty-Three years," in regard to the Indian attack on the Hill family "in Queen Ann's Reign." Samuel Hatch of Wells, husbandman, made his will February 3, 1741/2, and it was proved October 16, 1753. To his daughter Bethia Butland he left a feather bed. To his son Benjamin Hatch, 5s. To the children of his daughter Jemima Freethy, deceased, 5s. To his sons Samuel, Philip and John Hatch, 5s each. To his daughter Eunice Gatchell, the suit of curtains which he had about his bed and one pewter planter. To his daughter Mary Stevens, three pewter plates and �7. He states that he had already made gifts to all of these children. To his son Joseph Hatch, the homestead on which he was then living, including upland, marsh, houses, barns and other buildings gs. Also all his household goods and farm utensils not already disposed of, also all his cattle, sheep, horses and swine. If Joseph should die without lawful issue, the land was to return to his surviving brothers and sisters. Executor: son Joseph.
