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., and is interred in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery at London.
Mr. Hatch was born April 15, 1826, in Sherkin Island, Ireland, a son of Thomas and Sarah (Gosnell) Hatch, of Sherkin Island, who came to Canada in 1829, and located near Ottawa, Ont., whence they moved to County of Carleton, Ont... The children born to them were as follows: John G.; James, who served in the United States Rebellion, and died in the States in 1886; William, of Ottawa, Ont.; Mary A., who died in Bay City, Michigan, in 1899, wife of John Hatch; Ann, who died in May, 1901, wife of Robert Taylor; Joannah, of Victoria, B.C., married to Michael Baker; Sarah, of Harwich township, married to Joseph Cooper; Ellen, who died in February, 1903, at Victoria, B.C., wife of Frank Raitt; and Thomas, a grocer of Ottawa, Ontario.
On Feb. 14, 1856, at his late home, John G. Hatch married Ann Gosnell, and they became parents of children as follows: Joseph died in London township, County of Middlesex; Thomas is a farmer of Orford township; William is unmarried; Samuel is a telegraph operator at North Bay, Ont.; Esther, of London, Ont., married Walter McLean; George is a farmer of London township; Fred is with his brother William; Augusta, of London township, married Frank Shobbrook, a farmer; Wesley was last heard of in China.
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.
John G. Hatch engaged in farming all his life. He came to the County of Kent in 1855 and purchased a farm from an uncle, John Hatch, in Orford township, at Duart, where he remained eighteen years, at the end of that time removing to the farm now owned by his son. Both he and his excellent wife were members of the Methodist Church. In politics, John G. Hatch was a Conservative, but he never participated in local public affairs, preferring to devote his time and attention to his private business.
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.
William Hatch, who lives on the old homestead, was born in Duart, Orford township. He is a thrifty young farmer, and very successful in his work. Like the remainder of his family he is a member of the Methodist Church. His political views make him a Conservative, but he gives all his time to farming duties. As a worthy descendant of some the best pioneer stock of the County of Kent on both sides, as well as for his own good qualities, Mr. Hatch is recognized as one of the representative men of his section of the country.
