Jeduthan Hatch left home on Hill Road in Alstead Center, NH and immigrated to Lodi Michigan (near Detroit) where land purchase records from October 1828 indicate he set up business with his brother Luther. While living in Lodi, Jeduthan traveled on horseback to St Louis to buy a herd of cattle and drove them back to Lodi and sold them at a great profit. He purchased Luther's interest in their business when Luther moved to East DuPage, IL (now Lisle) in 1832. In early 1833, Jeduthan followed his brother to Illinois. He homesteaded a 160-acre tract in the SW1/4 of section 3, T38N R 10E between Warrenville Rd and present-day Ogden Avenue, adjacent to brothers Luther and James Crombie Hatch.
Jeduthan quickly became involved in politics and was soon elected to the Illinois General Assembly from 1842-1844, then a DuPage County representative to the Illinois Constitutional Convention in Springfield in 1847. He became Lisle Township supervisor in 1851 and finally DuPage County Judge in 1852. He ran on the Democratic ticket.
The 1850 census shows that Ohioans Sam and Maria Lesher, along with their six children, had moved onto Jeduthan's Lisle property, probably as tenant farmers. Two years later, in April 1852, Jeduthan, a bachelor of forty-four, married the Lesher's 16-year-old daughter Sarah. The extended family continued farming at Lisle until around early 1859. By the time of the 1860 census, Luther and Sarah (Lesher) Hatch, along with four children and the entire Lesher family, moved from Lisle to Walnut Township in Pottawatomie County, Iowa, where he supported the family by farming. Jeduthan and family are not found in the 1870 Census, but by that time, several of the Lesher in-laws had moved west and were living around Blackhawk, Victor/Cripple Creek and Denver employed in mining.
However, by the 1880 census, Jeduthan was widowed and living along Tomichi Creek at Doyleville Colorado where he had established a ranch with sons Franklin P. and Douglas A. Hatch. Land grant and tax records indicate that the Hatches settled at Doyleville around 1875. The 1885 census shows Jeduthan as a ranchman and a boarder with his sons at Doyleville.
On December 14th, 1888, the White Pine Cone newspaper near Gunnison notes that Jeduthan Hatch died at Doyleville on December 9th (see accompanying new clipping).
