Misc. Notes
(Following
extracted from page 910, 1970 edition, “Hathaways of America”, compiled by
Elizabeth Starr Versailles. Houston Clayton Library has a copy.)
"William
Hathaway, b. near Stratford, Eng., 1636 (Ref. DESCENDANTS OF HUGH BRENT AND
SOME ALLIED FAMILIES, Wm. A. Brent, p 235.) d. Lancaster Co., Va., 1692;
tradition that he had married Letitia Lawson on ship en route to America; that
he inherited a share in English property; that he later returned money to
England.
"Basic
research by Virginia McComb, 1950, HATHAWAY AND LAWSON FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA. A
copy is filed with West Virginia Collections, at W. Va. Univ. Library,
Morgantown, W. Va. by Mr. and Mrs. Tatterson who researched the descendants of
Henry and carried on several other branches of the family.
The Hathaway
ancestral home still exists in White Stone, Virginia, and is known as Enon
Hall. (There are pictures in the “Hathaways of America” book.)
"William
Hathaway's first deed was from Wm. Downing, 1666. His land was near the month
of the Tappahannock, in early times called "Chickacoon Country". It
is not known who built the first "Enon Hall" nor if it was named by
Hathaway or Downing. It was originally a frame colonial-type small house with
portico, middle entrance into a wide hall, on either side two large rooms below
and two above. A fine brick wall surrounds the ancestral graveyard, with later
graves marked by stones, and earlier ones by boxwood. Antipoison Creek runs
through the estate, tidal waters. It is about two miles from White Stone, Va.
Many changes and additions were made in the 270 years it was owned by the
family, which now owns only the graveyard. The first house had dining-room in
the basement and kitchen in the yard. Later an end room and a half were added,
then two to the back; then two more. The large yard has mulberry, aspen, coffee
and maple trees. The formal garden is off the parlor. Slave quarters were on a
point called Quarters Point. "Aenon" means waters or springs (Bible:
John 3,23).
"Several
branches of this family have passed along a tradition that William had more
than one son, and that at least one went to Mass. and another to North or South
Carolina. We have proof of only the one son, William II.
Haddawais
Creek was named in 1649 for Roland Hathaway who lived in Northumberland, Va.
Virkus COMPENDIUM OF AMERICAN GENEALOGY 5/331 gives Rowland Haddaway's birth
1607, death 1667. He then is the elder of the Hathaways who emigrated and
possibly is the father of William b. 1636, and John of Baltimore whose will was
probated 30 Aug. 1692. Some support for this hypothesis is found in the Order
Books of Lancaster Co., Va. where William's surname was spelled Haddaway for
the years 1660, 1662, 1664, and 1665. In later years it was Hathaway. pages
358-9 HATHAWAYS 1200-1980 give additional details of this research.
