Researcher Nel Hatchers Notes:

Tony,

 

Edward Hatcher Sr md an unknown Jamison. There is no evidence in the records of her given name. His last kid by 1st wife was Ed hathcer Jr bn c1672.

He md his 2nd wife, Mary (probably Ward), before Apr 1684 when she releases dower as Mary Hatcher. Her son and only child, Seth, was bn c1686.

Ed Sr's dau, Martha, DID NOT marry Cottrell. Ed hatcher Sr's Martha was bn c1664 and md Richard Gower c1680. That's well proven by Ed Sr's records.

No parents have been proven for Martha Hatcher who md Tom Cottrell and it's possible she was a HACKER. An early settler [1630s] was one John HACKER whose name was, on at least one occasion, transcribed as Hatcher and subsequently attached by many people as a son of Wm the Im. Bogus! But the garbage piles higher :-) From: nelhatch

In looking thru the Library of Virginia I find no Hacker families in Henrico Co. Va. not that this is the only source, but I did find the Thomas Correll Families: Tuckahoe Creek is MY DNA JOHNSON Lines strong hold.

Edward Hatcher Jr, as was his brother John Hatcher, was living in Henrico prior to their respective moves to Tuckahoe and then to NC. Their father, Edward Hatcher Sr, died in 1711 and it was after the estate settlement that his kids began moving west and south. Brother Seth Hatcher went to Orangeburg, SC

Edward Hatcher Sr owned land mainly north of the James River. See his page at

This is the families of Tappy Moore, Hudson, possible Robertsons, and of the Hatchers in Dickson and Humphreys County also connects families of Elam, Farmer, Burton, Stovall, Turbins, Wards,

1831, Joshua Curtis traveled to Wilkesboro and signed for Nancy's share of Thomas Cottrell's estate, a cash distribtuion. This document proves that the 1794 marriage bond with no name for the bride was for Joshua and Nancy Cottrell, as most everyone believed. But the handful of estate records do not say where he (or any of the other heirs) lived at the time. They signed at different times over a several month period, which would not have been the case if they all lived nearby.

Hi Brenda -
I was going through my emails (note that I am only on "B") and your note reminded me of a couple tidbits I have come across since then. I am oh so close to closing the loop on Joshua Jr. and thought it would be worthwhile getting your thoughts. I have worked through the Wilkes County tax and deed records, and have improved my understanding of who was where when.

In 1794, the same year he married Nancy Cottrell, JOSHUA CURTIS JR. moved to Capt. Dyer's District, which was the Cove Creek part of what became Ashe County.

By that time, David Curtis had returned from the Pendleton District of South Carolina and was there also. In 1796, Joshua Sr. moved to Cove Creek, but JOSHUA CURTIS, JR.. returned to Buffalo Cove in Wilkes County, appearing on the 1797 tax list.

The remaining records for "Joshua Curtis" in Wilkes County refer to JOSHUA CURTIS JR. He acquired parcels of land totaling 206 acres, which he sold in September 1808, the deed you refer to below. in October 1808, "JOS CURTIS" requested a letter of dismissal from the Yadkin River Baptist Church (where his brother Samuel was an active member) because he planned to leave.

In 1831, Joshua Curtis traveled to Wilkesboro and signed for Nancy's share of Thomas Cottrell's estate, a cash distribtuion. This document proves that the 1794 marriage bond with no name for the bride was for Joshua and Nancy Cottrell, as most everyone believed. But the handful of estate records do not say where he (or any of the other heirs) lived at the time. They signed at different times over a several month period, which would not have been the case if they all lived nearby.
There is a very careful researcher named Nancy Harvey, who you may know, who is a descendant of the Joshua Curtis who appeared in the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Humphreys County, TN, the 1840 census for Benton County, TN and who left a brief will in Benton County in 1842. She has done a good job of locating and proving his descendants, a single son Thomas and a bunch of girls. We both agree that the Joshua Curtis who appears in the 1812 Humphreys County tax list (along with his brother William) is highly likely to be the same Joshua, except she is looking "backward" from Benton County and I am looking "forward." from Wilkes. I am ready to paste in her Joshua research with Joshua research, except she properly points out I am missing a fact or two.
So what's the problem? The age of "Joshua" in all censuses is consistent. However, Nancy (Cottrell) Curtis, who was living in 1850, gave her age as 70, making her born about 1780, which is consistent with her census reporting in 1820, 1830 and 1840. The 1800 Wilkes County census (and her 1794 marriage date) make her at least a year or so younger. Much more problematic is the four females under age 10 that Joshua reported in the 1800 census in Wilkes County. His documented descendants were born starting in 1802--none before 1800. It is possible they had four children in six years before 1800, all of whom were dead by 1840 or so, but that's quite a leap of faith. One problem with the 1800 census is that Samuel and Joshua Jr. appear in Wilkes Co, and Joshua Sr. in Ashe County, but William and Edy (Cottrell) Curtis are not listed. William and Edy appear to be the adults living with Joshua Sr. in Ashe County. However, William and Edy had three children under 10 at that time, but no such children are listed in Joshua Sr.'s household. It's certainly plausible that Joshua Jr. & Nancy's household was not solely composed of their own children, but there's no way to figure that out.
Any thoughts?

It is believed that Joshua Curtis was of English descent and served first as an Ensign and later as Lieutenant during the Revoluntionary War. He was born about 1732 and died in Davidson County, TN in 1818. His wife was Mary Clark. Many of his descendants lived in Wilkes County, North Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana. http://www.fmoran.com/wilkes/curtis.html

HATCHER goes way back to a Steward line in Henrico CO VA,. a John Steward known as "John Steward, the Glover", married the widow Susanna Burton, nee Hatcher. No issue with Steward, they were in they´re 40´s when the marriage too place. I´d imagine John was a widower, and had kids prior to his married to Susanna Hatcher Burton.  He drop from thin air and not much info is on him.    

The WARD_STEWART connection goes back to the late 1600´s, with one female Stewart marrying a WARD, believe she was a dau of John Stewart JR born ca 1670 and wife Michelle Ballowe.  This John Stewart JR was the son of John Steward SR born ca 1634 England,came to VA abt 1668, married  a Dorothy (LNU), no will, probably destroyed.
> Back to Hatcher, I think they have more connection to John The Glover Stewart´s line. It is thought that one of his son´s was an EDWARD who married Martha Hatcher.  This Hatcher line was connected with the CHEATHAMS , KNIBB families.  Teresa From: lilliebelle3@yahoo.com

Notes: Cheathams connect to me and Pegs lines as does a Blankenship line of Humphreys Co. Tn

Hi Tony,
> Not much is known of the brother in law of Daniel Boone: John Stewart.  John Stewart was killed by Indians in what is now  KY abt 1769.  I believe a marriage bond was found in Rowan CO NC where John Stewart did marry Hannah Boone , Feb 14 1764.  All Boone researchers state Hannah and John only had girls.  But, we have a couple of people in the Stewart DNA project that claim John Stewart did have a son named William Boone Stewart born ca 1764-1769.  Wm Boone Stewart moved to the same county in KY that the Boone´s later move to.  Hannah Boone, relict of John Stewart was made admix of the estate of John Stewart. It must have been all personal estate, as John Stewart never owned land that I or anyone else could find. He may have lived with Hannah´s father on his farm,. who knows. Or he could have rented out land from someone else, but he would have still had to pay taxes on that leased land. I don´t have personal

Notes: The Wards, Hatcher, Tanner families all connect back to Wards Creek and are very intermarried: Of Note Ben Hatcher Sr. and Jr witnessed the will of John Watson in 1707 Henrico Co Va.

ANNA CURTIS is believed to have been born in 1771 to Joshua Curtis and Mary Sarah Clark of Wilkes County, NC. She is believed to have married DANIEL WARD, son of Benjamin and Selah Stewart Ward of Ashe County, NC, circa 1800, though no clear proof has been found to date though this researcher continues to search for one. Anna had eight children and forty-nine grandchildren. She spent her final years with her daughter, Phebe Ward Shull, and probably died 1850-1860 at Watauga County, NC.

Lennis Isaacs wrote in These My People - Wards of Watauga County the following: Daniel Ward: It is not known for sure but tradition has it that DANIEL WARD married ANNA CURTIS. This may well be true for there was a family of Curtiss' living here about that time. DANIEL moved to Powells Valley, according to the way LUTHER WARD remembered hearing his history, and made an herb doctor and lived to be 110 years old. He had a daughter, PHOEBE WARAD, that married PHILLIP SHULL and it may be that DANIEL came back to Watauga to live when he was old as some records show that DANIEL was in Watauga in 1850 and was 80 years old at that time."

A true list of Tax Payers in Wilkes County, 1797 by Ezekial Baird (from New River Notes)

Curtice, David 1797 1 Poll 630 acres
Custice, Joshua, Sr. 1797 1 Poll
Curtice, Samuel 1797 1 Poll
Ward, Benjamin 1797 1 Poll 333 acres
Ward, Joshua 1797

In 1810 DANIEL WARD was enumerated in Ashe County, North Carolina with 3 male children under age 10 born 1800-1810. Daniel was age 26-45 (born 1765-1844). Two female children under age 10 are in the household, and an adult female age 26-45. [Census Records, Ashe Co., NC, 1810] The adult female is probably his wife, ANNA CURTIS, daughter of JOSHUA CURTIS and MARY SARAH CLARK of Wilkes County, North Carolina. No marriage record has been found to date for Anna Curtis and Daniel Ward by this researcher.

NSDAR records for Joshua Curtis indicate that he had a daughter Anna Curtis who married a Mr. Ward. Family tradition supports that the Mr. Ward was Daniel Ward. In 1850 Anna Ward is enumerated with Daniel Ward's daughter, Phebe Shull, in Watauga County, North Carolina.] Joshua Curtis is a documented citizen of Wilkes County, North Carolina and a patriot of the American Revolution. His son, Samuel Curtis, lived near the Ward family in Ashe County.

In 1830 Daniel Ward sold land in Carter County, Tennessee to his son-in-law, Phillip Shull, with the stipulation that if either of his sons, John or William Ward, desired to repurchase the land when attaining age twenty-one that they would have the right to do so. Daniel Ward removed to Lee County, Virginia with his sons, Samuel, William, and daughter, Celia. Between 1840 and 1845 DANIEL WARD removed to Lee County, Virginia to live with his son, WILLIAM WARD, along with daughter, CELIA WARD. Anna Ward is not believed to have accompanied DANIEL, SAMUEL, WILLIAM, and CELIA WARD to Virginia. She presumably removed to Watauga County, NC to live with her daughter, Phebe Ward Shull, for reasons unknown at this time.

Notes: Lee County is a border County of Hawkins Co. Tn


ANNA WARD was found in the household of PHILIP and PHEBE SHULL on 3 October 1850 as indicated in the US Census for Watauga, Watauga County, NC that lists PHILLIP and PHEBE SHULL as residents in Household # 519 on page 71 as follows: PHILLIP SHULL, age 53, born 1797, NC, farmer with $1500 real property; PHEBE SHULL, age 48, born 1802, NC; MATILDA SHULL, age 26, born 1824, TN; THOMAS SHULL, age 22, born 1828, farmer with $100, born in TN; RODA SHULL, age 20, born 1830, TN; TEMPERANCE SHULL, age 19, born 1831, TN; SARAH SHULL, age 16, born 1834, TN; WILLIAM SHULL, age 16, born 1834, TN; CAROLINE SHULL, age 12, born 1838, NC; SIMON SHULL, age 9, born 1841, NC; JOSEPH SHULL, age 8, born 1842, NC; SOPHINA SHULL, age 4, born 1846, NC; and ANNA WARD, age 78, born 1772, NC, she could not read nor write. (No relations were given in this census record.)

ANNA WARD was not found in the 1860 US Census Records in Watauga, North Carolina, nor was she living with DANIEL WARD, SAMUEL WARD, WILLIAM WARD, or CELIA WARD in Lee County, Virginia according to census records in both counties, nor was she found living with any of her other children.

A family history of JOSHUA CURTIS of Wilkes County, North Carolina indicate that he was married to MARY SARAH CLARK (parents unknown). Joshua and his wife raised a large family in Wilkes County. Joshua Curtis removed from Wilkes County, North Carolina to Davidson County, North Carolina where he died in 1818. Joshua served as a Naval Officer, Ensign, and Lieutenant in the American Revolution according to NSDAR records. He had a large family: William Curtis married Edy Cottrell; Rebecca Curtis married Mr. Cottrell; Rachel Curtis; Mary "Polly" Curtis; Samuel Curtis married Susannah Cottrell (of Wilkes County, NC); Joshua Curtis, Jr. md Nancy Cottrell (removed to Indiana); Nancy Curtis md John Henry Stonecipher; Phoebe Curtis md Samuel Stonecipher; Susanna Curtis (died at Marion County, Kentucky) md Ezra Stonecipher (died at Illinois). The NSDAR records indicate that his daughter, ANNA CURTIS, married MR. WARD. The family history cited in the Heritage of Wilkes County confirms this information. However, the NSDAR disputes certain parts of this record.

Anna Curtis Ward is probably buried in Watauga County, North Carolina near her daughter, Phebe, and her family. DANIEL WARD in 1877 died at Rocky Station, Lee County, Virginia in the home of son, SAMUEL WARD, and was buried in what is now known as the Ward-Lawson Cemetery above present-Stickleyville on the SAMUEL WARD homeplace. His gravestone has been destroyed. Their 5th-great-granddaughter, Brenda Keck Reed, had a memorial stone crafted and placed in the Jonathan Ward Cemetery in his memory.
