Frederick Winslow Hatch (1789–1860), clergyman and educator, was born in Blandford, Hampshire County (later Hampden County), Massachusetts. He studied under Bishop Thomas John Claggett in Baltimore and was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1811. Hatch embarked on his career in Edenton, North Carolina, where he was employed at a church and school, leading the latter from 1811 to 1812 and the former from 1811 until 1815. He returned to Baltimore before moving to Charlottesville as rector of Fredericksville Parish in 1820. During his tenure there, Hatch conducted a small school and led a successful campaign to raise funds for the construction of the first Episcopal church in Charlottesville. He also played an important role in TJ’s family, teaching his grandsons Benjamin F. Randolph, Meriwether Lewis Randolph, and James M. Randolph, and officiating at the weddings of his granddaughters Virginia J. Randolph Trist in 1824 and Ellen W. Randolph Coolidge the following year and at TJ’s funeral in 1826. Hatch moved in 1830 to Washington, D.C., where he was rector of Christ Church, Washington Parish, 1830–35, and elected chaplain of the United States Senate in 1833 and 1834. He subsequently served churches in Poughkeepsie, New York; Southport (later Kenosha), Wisconsin; Saint Louis, Missouri; and Marysville and Folsom, California, where he officiated until his death (MS Hatch sermons and typescript biography in CBGTU; Sketches of Church History in North Carolina [1892], 256; Ethan Allen, Clergy in Maryland of the Protestant Episcopal Church Since the Independence of 1783 [1860], 32; J.
