The Hatch Name
"The Hatch family has lived for at least six centuries in the county of Kent, England. The name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon noun haec, Middle English hacche, later hatch, meaning a gate or a wicket. ... The surname appears in the hundred of Calehill, co. Kent, as early as 1327-8, the form during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries being atte Hacche. It is clear that the name was originally assumed by a man who dwelt near or at some gate or wicket, such, for instance, as might have been found at the entrance to the village churchyard or to the grounds of the manor house. ... John at the hacche or at ye hacche is termed John atte Hacche. ... This form of name remained in use for about two centuries, until nearly 1500, and then, as a rule, the atte either was dropped or was combined with the following word in such names as Atwell, Atwood, etc." (p. 252, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume LXX).

John (to the left) was "descended from some of the Atte Hacches found in the hundred of Calehill, in the subsidies of 1327-8 and 1372-3. ... [T]he hundred of Calehill comprised the parishes of Charing, Westwell, Egerton, Little Chart, and Pluckley, as well as parts of several other parishes" (pp. 252-253, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume LXX) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
