Mabel is given in the town records as dau. of Matthew and Sophia (Barney) Hatch. She was b. 1773, m. Paul Babcock 1796 and d. 1867. (See Babcock Family). She was with little doubt a sister to Roswell.
There is also a line from David Hatch. He and Joseph joined the First Congregational Church in 1808. David, Jr., m. Belinda Field in 1806, and they also joined the church in 1808. David had a dau., Lucy, who was baptized in 1809. This is as far as we can trace this line.
The church records give the name of Submit Hatch, who joined in 1794, but we have no clew to her connection with other Hatches.
It may be that Mabel, b. 1773, Joseph, b. 1775, David, b. -, and Roswell, b. 1781, were all children of Matthew and Sophia.
