   William M. Hatton, farmer, Attica, was born in Logan township, October 6,
1849. His grandfather Hatton was an early settler from Ohio, locating on Sec.
17, T. 21, R. 7, in 1826. The farm which he improved, and on which he lived and
died, is now the property of Henry Nave by recent purchase. His grandfather
Swank was another pioneer, who came two or three years later than the Hattons,
and set up at his trade of blacksmithing close by Henry Nave's. He afterward
bought on the N.E. 1/4 of Sec. 20. The Swank homestead has recently been
purchased by the subject of this sketch, who also has just disposed of the
Hatton homestead. Thomas S. Hatton was born in 1823, and came here with his
father from Ohio. He married Julia Swank, and the fruits of this union were ten
children, nine of whom are living: Thomas S., James E. (born in 1848), William
M., Charles T., Mary C. (deceased), John A., Frank E. (born October 7, 1857),
Joseph B., David H., Sarah E. and Walter B. William M. was married March 27,
1873, to Nancy C., daughter of Leonard and Ann Eliza Houts. She was born in
Logan township, December 17, 1850. Her parents came from Ohio at an early day,
and settled on Lopp's prairie. They have one child, Charles Edmund, born
December 31, 1873. James E. was married January 24, 1870, to Mary A. Coppock,
who died July 7, 1878, leaving three children. Charles has been in business a
short time in Attica, but recently sold out to his brothers, James E. and Frank,
who now carry on the grocery trade. John A. is in the same business in Williamsport.
