Descendants of John at HECCHE

Generation No. 1

1.  JOHN AT1 HECCHE was born 1415 in Selling, Kent, England, and died 1463 in
Selling, Kent, England.  He married AGNES .....

Notes for JOHN AT HECCHE:
The Hatch family has lived for at least six centuries in the county of Kent,
England.  The family name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon noun haec, Middle
English hacche, later hatch, meaning a gate or wicket. Compare Shakespeare's
words: "In at the window, or else o'er the hatch."  The surname appears in
the hundred of Calehill, co. Kent, as early as 1327-28, the form during the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
being atte Hacche.  It is clear that the name was originally assumed by a man
who dwelt near or at some gate or wicket, such, for instance, as might have
been found at the entrance to the village churchyard or to the grounds of the
manor house.  Many family names had a similar origin during the reign of
Edward I (1272-1307).  For example, John at the hacche or at ye hacche is
termed John atte Hacche, William at
the well is called William atte Well, and Thomas at the stile is termed
Thomas atte Stile, etc.  This form of name remained in use for about two
centuries, until nearly 1500, and then as a rule, the atte either was dropped
or was combined with the following word in such names as Atwell, Atwood,
Atwater, etc.

John at Hecche, of Sellinge, in the hundred of Street, co. Kent, the testator
of 1464, was born probably about 1415 and died not earlier than 15 Nov. 1464.
 He married Agnes ____, who was living when his
will was made.  He  was probably a miller.  He was undoubtedly descended from
some of the Atte Hacches
found in the hundred of Calehill, in the tax subsidies of 1327-28 and 1372-3.
 These subsidies do not name the parishes in which the people assessed lived,
but since he mentions land in Westwell and Charing, both parishes in the
hundred of Calehill, he was certainly descendant to that ancient Atte Hacche
family.

     The Will of JOHN AT HECCHE of Sellyng next Monks Horton [Co. Kent], 15
November 1464.  My body to be buried in the churchyard of Selling.  To the
high altar there 12d.  To the light of the Holy Trinity 6d.  To the light of
the Cross 6d.  To the light of the Blessed Virgin 6d.  To the light of the
Blessed Mary under the High Cross 6d.  The residue of all my goods not
otherwise bequeathed I give to Agnes my

parent's souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed; and I make them
my executors.
     My testament regarding all my lands, William Knyght, John Parys, William
Smyth, John Webbe, and William at Mello are the feoffes of my lands and
tenements at Selling, by indenture dated 10 October, 25 Henry VI [1446].  My
woods upon my lands at Westwell and Charling to be sold to pay my debts and
legacies.  My feoffes to permit Agnes my wife, if she remain my widow, to

and when my son William shall come to the age of twenty-four years, then my
feoffes shall make over the lands to my three sons equally, forever, they
paying to Agnes, their mother 20s. a year
during her life.  If all my sons die before the age of twenty-four, then my
wife Agnes shall have the lands for her life, and after her death they shall
be sold and the money shall be employed to provide a chantry priest to sing
and pray in the churc of Selling for the space of two years, the residue to
be expended in charity for the poor of Selling and for the souls of my father
and mother and all the faithful departed.  If
my wife shall marry before the said Thomas, John, and William reach their
full ages [i.e. twenty-four years], my feoffes shall allow her 20s a year and
shall use the remainder of the profits of my lands for my sons and for the
repair of my messuages and mills.  To each of the feoffes for their pains 6s.
