Nicholas Hathaway

• General Notes
  • Nicholas Hathaway, John’s father, was probably the son of Thomas and Margaret Maxfield Hathaway of Kingscote, Glouchester, England. He was born around 1595. Nicholas arrived in New England before February of 1638/9 and was in Braintree in 1642. It's possible he had two others sons named Jacob and Joseph.
    
    Maps included in the Hathaway family history of Freetown, Massachusetts, show sites such as the Hathaway Library, a house built by Dr. Nicholas Hathaway in 1806, Silas Hathaway’s Creek, Hathaway Wharf, the home of the Hon. Elnathan Hathaway, and the marker at the first John Hathaway house. It notes John Jr. had the first licensed tavern and owned a share in the iron factory there as well as perhaps a shipyard. The history recommends as sources THE HISTORY OF BRAINTREE, THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST: Vol 23 and Vol 34; HISTORY OF DIGHTON and TAUNTON DEEDS.
    
    Files in Salt Lake agree Nicholas was the son of Thomas and Margaret and add that his grandfather was also Thomas Hathaway (172).
