Hatch, Chester P. A native of New London county, Connecticut, born June 3, 1814.
At the age of eighteen he was apprenticed to the trade of millwright, at Windon,
after which he learned the trade of machinist. In February, 1853, he left New
York City, on board the "Uncle Sam," for California. At Panama he took passage
on the "Sierra Nevada" for San Francisco, arriving in March, 1853. He
immediately proceeded to the Sonora mines, where he mined for a period of seven
months, when he returned to San Francisco and engaged in the manufacturing of
sash, doors and blinds, until March, 1855, when he came to Petaluma and carried
on the same business. In 1858 he took a trip East, sojourned one year, when he
came back to this city, and in 1859 formed a partnership with Charles Cobb, and
started a foundry and machine shop, and conducted it as partners until 1871. Mr.
Hatch then purchased his partner's interest, and has since conducted the
enterprise on his own account. He married, in 1862, Lucretia A. A. Newton.
