Notes
| Birth | There were multiple Francis Hattaway/Hathaway's that arrived in Colonial Virginia between 1630 and 1694. There were actually 3 that are likely candidates but we have not been able to determine the exact one that is the progenitor of the Hattaway's of NC. The one that arrived in 1694 is considered the most likely candidate. The exact date of birth of Francis is unknown since no record has been found yet. The date and land of origin are based on an entry for when Francis was transported to the Virginia Colony. |
| Immigration | It has long been believed that Francis has been the progenitor of the Hattaway's to America but that he was born in 1694. From the book, Cavaliers and Pioneers, we find that he arrived in Virginia in 1694. The town of Holland is the closest city to where William Collins received his plot of land (Kingsale Swamp). This was found by cross referencing the other men listed (Francis Sanders and Thomas Bissell) and where they received their property. There is still a street in Holland called Kingsale Rd. |
| 1701 | According to history, individuals who were transported to the colonies from England served an indenture (servant) to the person that transported them for a period of 7 years. They would work the land for the person that transported them and help prepare it. This would include logging, farming, and building a home stead. If Francis started his indenture when he first arrived in 1694, he would have completed that service in 1701. He in turn would receive a piece of property of his own to settle. |
| Residence | This assumption of his location is based a deed for David Hataway Jr that states David and his wife sold his property in Southampton County in 1754. |
