  ALEXANDER MAC HATTON, minister, Morea. This gentleman was born February 12,
1817, in Scott County, Ky., son of Samuel Mac Hatton, born February 9, 1783, in
Pennsylvania; he removed to Kentucky, where he was married to Sarah Alexander,
born February 3, 1795, daughter of Hugh Alexander, who married a Miss Bell.
Alexander Mac Hatton, Sr., who was the grandfather of our subject, was a Colonel
in the Revolutionary war, and his two sons, James and Samuel, were soldiers in
the war of 1812; the former was killed, with hundreds of other brave Kentucky
troops, at the River Raisin. Our subject was educated at the Hanover College, in
Jefferson County, Ind., and after graduating, he took a theological course at
Cannonsburg, Penn., after which he entered the ministry, representing the
Associate Presbyterian, continuing with untiring efforts in that church for over
thirty years. In 1878, he transferred his relation of the former church to the
Presbyterian. Mr. Mac Hatton was married in Marion, Ind., April 29, 1852, to
Elizabeth S. Lomax, born July 1, 1824, in Wayne County, Ind., daughter of Abel
and Elizabeth Ladd, who came from North Carolina. She is the mother of four
children—Abel L., born June 24,1856; Samuel H., born February 25, 1858; Joseph
A., born May 27, 1860; William H., born April 2, 1862. Mr. Mac Hatton owns a
good farm of 200 acres of fine land, which he bought shortly after he came to
this country, which was in 1861. His son, Joseph, is a teacher in this county.
Abel and Samuel follow the carpenter trade. Mr. Mac Hatton is independent in
politics, but has been identified with the Republican party. Mrs. Mac Hatton's
father represented Wayne County, Ind., in the Legislature for nine years.
