In the late 1840s, John Hatch decided to give up his farm in Chocorua and move to a new one in Bartlett.

He bought a homestead just below Benjamin Pitman’s place on the eastern slope of what was then known as Thorn Mountain, moving with his wife and two sons into a house that may have been built by the previous owner, Noah Sinclair. It would remain in the Hatch family for more than a century.

Hi. My name is John Hatch and I live in Connecticut. I found this story of interest, because I have a niece named Jessie. I don't believe that we are related to any of the Hatchs mentioned in this story.
