The genealogy of the family is traced back to Thomas Hatch, whose name is identified with the early history of the New England Colonies.

The subject's father was Timothy, removed to the Empire State when his son Jethro was but a child and was one of the pioneers of Chenango County, where he resided until his death, which occurred when he had attained to the advanced age of ninety-eight years. Jethro married Minerva Pierce, a native of the Green Mountain State, and in 1846 emigrated with his family to Kane County, Illinois.

He settled upon an unimproved farm in the township of Sugar Grove. He located on State land and was one of the earliest of the pioneers of that county. There he lived until the country, which was then in a wild, uncultivated condition, was thickly settled, converted into fine farms and covered with pleasant and comfortable homes.

Toward the close of his life he removed to Aurora, where he died when eighty-five years of age. His wife survived him only four years, passing away at the age of eighty-three.

Jethro Hatch and wife were the parents of five children, three sons and two daughters: Mercelia, the widow of Dr. Lawson Winslow; Fayette; Dr. Jethro; Mattie W., the wife of D. C.Winslow; and Austin P.
