Hattons of Maryland

Legg inn av Jamey McLoughlin » 25 feb 2005 08:49:50

Hi group,

I am looking at the Hatton family of Maryland, that is Secretary
Thomas Hatton from London who transported over his brother's family
from England in about 1649.

I have read about this family being descended from Sir Christopher
Hatton who was a cousin to Sir Christopher Hatton who was chancellor
for Elizabeth I. Since his nephew died without issue his cousin
inherited it all?

Is there proof that a kinship existed between the Hattons of Maryland
and Sir Christopher Hatton?

I'm not sure about the connection to Sir Christopher, but I did write a
pretty extensive bio of Rondo Hatton (actor) of Maryland a few years
back, whose family migrated to Florida in the early part of the last
century and formed Hatton Bros. Insurance in Tampa.

Robert Barnes's British Roots of Maryland Families, curiously, does not
mention the Hatton family of Maryland, perhaps indicating that the Maryland
family's origins are unknown.

As far as I know, Brice Clagett also does not carry this line, ancestral to
his children, back beyond Robert Hatton and his wife Margaret, who were the
immigrants in 1649. Perhaps he could comment on the latest findings if any.

Certainly it is always very tempting to assume that "the name's the same,
therefore they must be related," especially when dealing with a historical
figure such as Sir Christopher Hatton, one of major players in the court of
Elizabeth I. But as far as I know, in this case it's only wishful thinking,
alas, as I descend from this family.

Thanks John, I descend from nearly every Catholic and some
non-Catholic families of colonial Maryland and many are full of
mystery and half truths. My Hayden's seem the most complete.

I come through Robert and Margaret's son William and great
granddaughter Penelope Hatton Middleton.

Thanks for the info, John. Gen. Robert Overton and his son (?)
William of Virginia is my next task.
