John Hathcock, Sr. (b. Abt. 1774, d. Abt. 1860)
Notes for John Hathcock, Sr.:
The Hathcock line is supposed to have left England about 1635 when Thomas Hathcock migrated to
America.Of English origin, the earliest known date is a court register of 1274 which contains the name
of Walter Hathecok, a feudal tenant. Hathcock records begin in the mid-sixteenth century, about the time of Englands' earliest written records.
All three branches apparently migrated to Tennessee at about the same time. The heads of
the three Lincoln County, Tennessee branches were Charles Hathcock, born about 1797 in South
Carolina, another Charles Hathcock, born about 1804 in Georgia and John Hathcock, born about 1801-04
in Georgia. Charles and John migrated from Elbert County, Georgia and the other Charles moved to
Lincoln County from Bibb County, Alabama. Charles had previously lived in Bedford County, Tennessee
and he appears on the Bedford County Tax List of 1812. He moved to Lincoln Co. from Bibb Co. some-
time between 1834 and 1840 and later lived in Shoals Ford in Limestone Co., Alabama in 1860.
