Hi Nel,
 I checked and I have Obedience A. Hatcher listed as being born about 1810 as well, in the 1850 census she is listed as age 40.

>Hi Nel,
 >The oldest child I have for Branch Hatcher is Frances Epps Hatcher born about
>1810, Samuel B. Hatcher was born about 1814 these ages according to the 1850
>census.

Branch married Susanna P. Cogbill in 1817 so these children were of a first
marriage. So far we do not know whom his first wife was.

As the 1820 census went by ages and sex I am not sure that the possible adult
children you mention in that census were actually his children. The census does
not show relationship so perhaps they were other relatives or employees.

I have not yet seen any other children listed as Branch Hatcher's in any other
records so far.

God bless,
     Beth
