Hatton/Rankin/Manchester UK to Cuba?
Posted by: Edward Stalling (ID *****0849) Date: November 08, 2008 at 13:11:20

Looking for help with my Hatton line -- a very colorful line. Recently
uncovered a large,old (late 1800's) Hatton photo album and also a 24 page
handwritten Hatton family history. Wondered if our Hatton line tie in,
would like to share info. Summary of my line is as follows:

? Hatton (b. early 1800's?) owned a steel business in Manchester, ENG. His
mother could have been Isabella Rankin. His wife (?) died leaving him with
three sons: John, Richard (b. 1830-1840?), and (?). Remarries, his sons
dislike her, they leave ENG. One son goes to Canada, one to USA, and Richard
goes to Cuba where he becomes a prosperous sugar plantation owner and marries Maria De Jesus Sardinia. They have five kids..(1) Electario (later Joe) goes to Columbia in NYC and becomes an engineer. (2) Ysidra marries the son of a Count and is showered with gifts but is unhappy, (3) Frank gets medical degree from Columbia in NYC, (4) Eugenia becomes a nun - Sister Superia - in convent in Great Falls, MT, and (5) Emma marries William Schmitt of NYC and they have four kids, including my grandmother Emma.

Richard seemed to have become a very prominent citizen of Havana, Cuba.

There are also pictures of a "Isabella Rankin Hatton" also referred to as
"Great Grandmother Rankin - on the Hatton side" which leads me to believe
that Isabella Rankin is probably the mother of (?) Hatton who owned the steel
business in Manchester

Look forward to hearing if any of this seems to tie into your Hatton research.
