Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 784-785:
John G. Hatch, who for many years was an honored resident of Orford township, County of Kent, passed away Aug. 6, 1897, in London township, County of Middlesex, Ont...
     On Feb. 14, 1856, at his late home, John G. Hatch married Ann Gosnell, and they became parents of children...
     Mrs. Hatch was born on the present farm of William Hatch, which consists of 100 acres in Lot 18, North Middle Road, Sept. 6, 1835, a daughter of Joseph and Esther (Rushton) Gosnell, of County Cork, Ireland, and Nova Scotia, respectively. About 1822 Joseph Gosnell settled with his father upon the farm above mentioned. The first settlement of the family in Canada was in 1819, at Kingston, Ont., where they remained three years, during which time the men worked on the canal construction. The mother died in 1840, aged twenty-eight years. Joseph Gosnell was a farmer, and in addition to the one farm which was given by the government he took up another in the same township, also of 100 acres, which he sold later on. His death occurred in 1870, when he was seventy-six years old. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Church, while in politics he was a Conservative. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Gosnell were: Laurence, who died at Detroit, Michigan, in 1866; Ann, Mrs. Hatch; and Sarah, of Rushton Corners, Howard township, unmarried...
     During the early days the pioneers suffered and endured much. One of the greatest difficulties they encountered was in the transportation of their products. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hatch carried the grain to the nearest mill, the one owned by George Henry at Clearville, nine miles from their home, and brought back the flour. More than this, when occasion demanded, they would bring merchandise from Detroit, Michigan, and upon one occasion Joseph Gosnell made a trip from Detroit carrying upon his back half a hide of sole leather, half a hide of split leather, and two plow points; he worn out two shirts on the trip.
