Wow...thank you very much. My gr gr grandmother was married to him for a while. She thought he was killed by Indians taking food to the Mormon's. She had a son by him, John R. Hatch. Then she got remarried thinking that Hatch was dead. But instead he was in Kansas married to another. Plus he had another wife in WI. by the name of Melissa.

My grgr grandmother was Elander M York, Parker, Hatch, Maul.
She resided in Andrew Co. Mo. But she married that Hatch in Levenworth,KS. She was previously married to Elisha Parker. I'm not sure what happened to him. Maybe he was stationed in KS too and was killed in the war.

Thanks again ...this is very interesting.
