New England Hatmaker In Search of Roots
To assembled Hatmaker Clan:
I'm Kelly Francis Hatmaker.
My Father was Francis Howard Hatmaker, Jr., nicknamed "Butch."
My Grandfather was Francis Howard Hatmaker, Sr.
My Great-Grandfather was Kelly Francis Hatmaker.
My grandfather Frank married Evelyn Bolyard. They had a son (my dad) and a daughter, Lois.
My dad grew up around northern West Virginia (Morgantown area), before his family moved up to Connecticut (near Groton, CT). My grandfather worked in the submarine yards at Electric Boat there.
My dad married Sheila Ann Morgan, whose family has deep roots in that part of Connecticut (the Morgan family owned most of what is now Mystic Seaport, and the family farm is still being worked near Ledyard).
I've only met one Bolyard, Neil - who used to work for WVU. I've never met any of my Hatmaker relatives, outside of immediate family.
I have two sisters: Kate Lorissa Hatmaker and Kristin Ann Hatmaker - and a brother: Travis Richard Hatmaker.
Can anyone help me (re-)connect?
Regards,
Kelly F. Hatmaker
