THE HATCH FAMILY.
GEORGE BURNHAM HATCH, Ph. B., M. D., is one of the foremost citizens of Groton, Ver- mont, as well as its leading physician, and en- joys the respect and esteem of an ever-widening circle of acquaintances. He was born December II, 1851, in the town of Groton, Vermont, a son of Clark Hatch, mentioned below. Dr. George B. Hatch's great-great-grandfather, Ja- cob Hatch, was a soldier of the Continental army, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne, October 17, 1777. He subsequently removed, with his son, Jacob Hatch, from Maine to Ver- mont, settling first in Newbury and coming from there to Groton as a pioneer. The last named Jacob was born in Maine, and was one of a family of eleven children, all educators, and mar- ried Martha Maxwell, a native of the same state, who also was a teacher in Maine, where part of their children were born. There were three sons and three daughters. Of these, Moses and Jacob lived and died in Groton. Phœbe mar- ried Hiram Meader, and lived and died in Wal- den, Vermont. Lucretia (Mrs. James Dustin) lived and died in Groton, as did Mehetabel, wife of James Whitchill.
John, the youngest child of Jacob and Martha Hatch, was born in 1800, in Groton, being one of the first children of white parents born in the town.
He was a farmer and local preacher, and was twice married. His first wife, Mary Clark, of Newbury, died leaving four children, Phoebe,
John, Clark and Mary. The second wife, Sabra Welch, was a daughter of Edmond Welch, a Revolutionary soldier, and his wife, Hannah (Innis) Welch, a direct descendant of Hannah Dustin, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, whose cap- ture by Indians and subsequent escape from the savages are matters of historical interest. Phœbe, eldest child of John Hatch, Sr., married In- galls Gould, of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, where both died. John, Jr., died at the same place, leaving no issue. Mary became the wife of Edwin Cunningham, and, after his death, married John Wormwood, and died in Groton.
Clark Hatch was born in October, 1826, in Groton, and is now retired from active life, mak- ing his home in Groton village. He followed the trade of stone-cutting in Groton, where he has passed his entire life, giving some attention to agriculture. For a time he was a member of the Third Company, Nineteenth Regiment, of Vermont Volunteer State Militia, serving un- der General A. Harleigh Hill. His wife, Lo- vina Emery, was a lineal descendant of Noah Emory, who settled at Kittery, Maine, in 1725, becoming the first lawyer of that state. He died there at a great age. His son Charles Emery, was a soldier of the Revolution, and drew a pen- sion for his services. He came, late in life, to Newbury, Vermont, with his son, John Emery. This was previous to 1786. John Emery was born in that part of Massachusetts which is now Maine, and settled in Groton soon after 1786, dying there at an advanced age. His wife's name was Mary Parker, who also was born in Maine. Their son, Noah Emery, was born in 1786, in the town of Newbury, Vermont, and came to Groton with his parents when an infant. He grew up here, and, with the exception of twenty years spent in Brighton, Vermont, passed all his life in Groton, dying in 1875, at the age of eighty-nine years. He married Mary Page, of Groton, and had one son and eight daughters. The seventh daughter, Lovina, became the wife of Clark Hatch. Eight children blessed this union, the eldest being the subject of this sketch. Sarah Jane, the second, died at the age of ten years and ten months. Oscar C.

of Newbury. Lanna, Mrs. John Arthur, live, in Kregate. Clara J. ched at the age of wells three years, while the wife of Jesse P. Bailes, of Newbury, leaving a son, Jesse I., then three years old, who is now in school. Henry G., the youngest, is a farmer residing in Groton.
Dr. George B. Hatch remained on the parent- al homestead during his carlier ycars, working on the farm in seedtime and harvest, and ac- quiring the education supplied by the district schools. At the age of seventeen years he began teaching winter schools, and thus helped him- self toward acquiring a liberal education. After his graduation from Newbury Seminary in 1876, he taught in that town, at the same time read- ing medicine with Dr. E. V. Watkins. He sub- sequently studied medicine three years with Dr. Montgomery, of Newburyport, Massachusetts, then attended Bowdoin and Dartmouth Colleges, and was graduated from the Medical University of Ohio and American Medical College of Ohio in 1885.
Locating in Newbury he established a suc- cessful practice and remained there until 1897, when he removed to Groton, and soon after erected the largest business block in the town, in which his office is located, together with a large public hall and other offices and tenements. Here the local lodges meet, and in this building is located the local newspaper office. Dr. Hatch induced a druggist to settle in the town, and the store was opened in his block. When the pro- prietor decided to move to the west, Dr. Hatch and Dr. S. A. Blodgett, his colleague, purchased the store and are conducting it with advantage to themselves and the town. Dr. Hatch's prac- tice has always covered a considerable part of the town of Groton, and is constantly extending to adjoining localities.
He is medical examiner and manager of the local St. Andrew's Society, which was incorporat- ed in 1892, is chairman of the board of health, and is a trustee of the Newbury Seminary, hav- ing served twelve years as president of the board. He takes the intelligent interest which every citi- zen should in the progress of affairs, and strives to perform such duties as devolve upon him in furthering the interests of his town and the state and nation. He is a member of the Metho- dist church, and sustains the principles of the
Republican party, and was elected in 19,00 to represent the town of Groton in the state legisla- ture. He is active in fraternal circles, being in atilation with St. John- Lodge. A. F. & A. M., of Newburyport, Massachusetts, which was instituted July 17, 1766, and has been in con- tinuous existence since. He belongs to At. Leba- non Chapter, R. A. M., and to the council, R. & S. M., of Bradford, and Palestine. Command- cry, K. T., of St. Johnsbury, Vermont ; and is one of the leading members of Unity Lodge No. 66, I. O. O. F., and of Caledonia Lodge No. 46, K. I., both of Groton. In 1889 the Wesleyan Univer- sity of Illinois, in which he matriculated, and which he attended, conferred upon him the de- gree of Bachelor of Philosophy.
Dr. Hatch was married June 5, 1882, to Miss Mary E. Brown, only daughter of Jenness W. Brown, a wealthy merchant of Newburyport, Massachusetts, who was a strong Republican and a man of public spirit. His heart and hand were ever open to the cry of the needy at all times, and he was ever firm for temperance. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were members of the Congre- gational church all their lives. Mrs. Hatch's great-grandfather, John Brown, was a soldier of the Revolutionary army. Her mother, Lydia Ward, was born in Hampton, New Hampshire, and was a daughter of Captain Ward, a Revolu- tionary soldier. Dr. and Mrs. Hatch have a beautiful home at Newbury, and have just com- pleted a handsome residence in Groton, one of the finest in the town. Their family includes two children, George W., aged twenty years, a teach- er, and now a student of the University of Ver- mont ; and Ina K., aged seventeen, a student of Newbury Seminary, and has passed her examina- tions as a teacher in Vermont.

William Nichols, born February 20, 1796, was a life-long farmer and a stanch adherent of the Republican party from its formation until his death, December 23, 1874. He was active in local affairs, serving as town treasurer ten years, as selectman, and as lister. On May 4, 1825, he married Betsey White, a descendant in the sixth generation from Thomas White (1), who was born in 1599, and was probably one of the first settlers at Weymouth, Massachusetts, where he commanded a military company.

William H. Nichols, the subject of this sketch, obtained his early education in the Orange county grammar school, the West Randolph Academy, and graduated from Middlebury Col- lege in 1856. In the meantime he taught school in Aroostook county, Maine, and subsequently was principal of the Orange county grammar school and West Randolph Academy, for short periods. Immediately after graduation he began the study of law in the office of John B. Hutchinson, Esq., now deceased, and was admitted to the bar in 1858.

The call to arms, arising from the attenipts of ill advised men to disrupt the Union, reached the ears of the young attorney in his western home, and he was among the first to respond. He enlisted June 8, 1861, in Company K, Third Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and saw service until the close of hostilities in 1865. Most of his

With equal alacrity, he laid down the imple- ments of war and took up those of agriculture. On account of his aged parents he settled down to till the home farm and care for them in their declining years. This farm, one of the largest and most productive in the state, has received additions by purchase in his hands, and is now managed jointly by Judge Nichols and his young- est son.
