The date of his emigration to New England is not known for certain, but he probably came with his brother William, on William's second trip to New England in the Castle in 1638. He settled at Scituate and was freeman 5 Mar 1638/9. --- "Thomas Hatch was an older brother, probably, of William. He settled in a part of the Town at that time but little cultivated, viz. three fourths of a mile west of the present Town-house, near a small brook that runs in the meadow, and twenty rods west of the road. He died early. His widow had an infant Hannah brought to baptism 1646, which was probably near the date of his death."--- (This Tohomas Hatch is not the one of Dorchester, MA, freeman 14 May 1634, later of Yarmouth and Barnstable.)--- On 11 Feb 1617 Thomas married Lydia Gyles, at Tonbridge, Kent, Eng.
