Biography / Administrative History
Frederick Winslow Hatch, 1789 – 1862, was born in Massachusetts. He studied under Bishop Thomas John Claggett in Baltimore,
MD and was ordained by Claggett as a priest in the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1811. He served a succession of parishes,
primarily Grace Church at Crismont, and Christ Church in Charlottesville, Virginia approximately 1820 – 1830. Thomas Jefferson
was a member of Christ Church, Charlottesville, and designed the building, which no longer exists.
In 1830, Hatch was called to the National Church in Washington, D.C. and appointed Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives
1830 and 1834. He served in Poughkeepsie, NY, Southport (now Kenosha) and Racine, WI, and St. Louis, MO. Hatch’s oldest son,
also named Frederick Winslow Hatch (1822 – 1885) became a medical doctor and moved to Sacramento, California in 1851. Hatch
followed his son re-locating to California in 1856, serving in Marysville and Folsom. He died and was buried in Sacramento
in 1862.
Though there is no specific documentation on how the collection came to the GTU Archives, it is presumed the collection was
donated by Katharine Hatch Toevs (1913 – 2007), a great-granddaughter. Arranged chronologically, the collection contains 62
handwritten sermons, each bound in paper with the title written on the cover. The date and place the sermon was first preached
is written at the end of each sermon. If the sermon was preached more than once, each subsequent date and place is noted on
the back cover.
