Miscellaneous

From Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families (compiled papers of Amos Otis), Charles F. Swift, editor, Vol I, pp 462-463:

"It is said that he [Thomas Hatch] was the son of a farmer and served his father before learning the trade of a tailor. His wife [Grace Lewis] was also a farmer's daughter, and in time of harvest assisted him in the fields, and was very expert in the use of a sickle. Two young men asked her hand in marriage, and it was agreed that the one who should reap the larger piece in a given time should win the prize. The land was marked off and an equal proportion assigned to Miss Grace. She was the best reaper, and having decided that she would marry Thomas Hatch, she slyly cut over on the part set off to him, and in consequence Thomas came out ahead, claimed, and received her hand in marriage."

This story is doubtful because Grace was very likely Hatch's second wife, but it's a good story.

Grace was the 9 x great grandmother of the Moore brothers.
