If you would be so kind, I ask that you share your sources for the information you have shared about Wilbur Hatch. My interest is related to family. My maternal grandmother and Wilbur were first cousins. My great grandmother was Wilbur's dad's sister, Nancy (always called "Nanny"). I, like my great grandmother started my married life where the Hatch family was from, Modena, IL. I am a musician and want to learn more at this late stage of my life. I was 14 when Wilbur passed away. Thank you for your consideration in this regard.
