Grace Lewis

(1602 - Aft 1661)

Not sure about surname of Lewis. Several sources do not list a surname.

She was daughter of a farmer born in Wales


It is thought that she was a second wife and not the mother of his children as she and the children did not get along and that is why the children did not live much with her.

Disputed Origins

Thought by some to be daughter of Emanuel Lewis and Agnes Atkins of Aller, Devon, England. However, this remains unproven.[citation needed]
Dupes of above: Emanuel Lewis and Agnes Atkins.
This appears to have originated in R.G. Newton, Newton and Hatch Families of Sherburne, NY" as referenced in Charles Lathrop Pack, Thomas Hatch of Barnstable & some of his descendants : the descent of Alice Gertrude Hatch and her husband, Charles Lathrop Pack, from Thomas Hatch and allied families, Newark, N.J.: Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New Jersey, 1930.
Anderson in his Great Migration series (1995) names her simply Grace ______.[1]
Biography

She may not have been the mother of Thomas Hatch's children.[2]
Otis: "She must have been a second wife, for if Jonathan and Lydia had been her children, she would not hve allowed them in youth to hve been aliens from their father's house and exposed to all the temptations of a wicket world. I have no other evidence that she was a second wife."
Jonathan Hatch had four daughters, none of which he named Grace; Lydia named none of her daughters Grace, and this first name was not handed down in subsequent generations.
She died between 27 Jun 1661 and 2 Mar 1663.
