Note

Starr Versailles. Houston Clayton Library has a copy. The house ÒHatherageÓ
still exists, pictures available at

The
will of John Hathaway is written in clear handwriting with perfect spelling. He
was stout, handsome, very active, well-proportioned, with beautiful shining
black hair. Undaunted resolution, friend of American Revolution, commanded a
militia company which served in Pennsylvania and New York during the war;
called Capt. John. In 1772, he moved about 12-14 miles above Warrenton, built
Hatherage, a long rather narrow stone house, 2-3 miles northeast of Marshall,
set back from the road leading from Warrenton to Middleburg, via The Plains and
Zulle. When Hatherage was sold in 1837 the following reservation was made:
"It is expressly understood between the foregoing parties Hathaway and
Kincheloe that the family Graveyard on the farm herein conveyed in reserved and
excepted and shall be forever subject to the use and direction of the said
Hathaway and heirs including the ground now enclosed for that purpose and not
to exceed one fourth of an acre. In testimony whereof the parties have here
unto set their hands and seals the day and year above written." Signed by Brandt
Kincheloe and H. S. Hathaway, rec. Deed Book 37, page 377, Fauquier Co., Va. It
is presumed that John and Sarah and two of their children are buried there.
Magistrate. Member of Court of Common Please of Fauquier Co.
