SAMUEL B. HATCHER was born February 24, 1838, in Barren County.  At the 
age of nine years he moved with his parents to Edmonson County, where he 
grew up.  At the age of twenty-one years he left home, and lived for one 
year in Warren County, after which he lived for six years in Hart 
County; in 1873 removed to Barren County, and located on the farm where 
he now resides.  His father, Branch Hatcher, was born September 20, 
1809, in Buckingham County, Va.  He was a farmer, and in connection with 
his farm for a number of years engaged in working at the stone-mason's 
trade.  He also clerked for sometime in the store of James G. Haddy, who 
was afterward elected lieutenant-governor of Kentucky.  Branch Hatcher's 
father, Barnett Hatcher, was also a native of Virginia, and of Scotch 
descent.  Branch Hatcher was married in 1837 to Phelissa A., daughter of 
Samuel V. and Sally (Williams) Saunders, of Barren County.  From this 
union sprang Samuel B., Jasph P., Daniel, Sarah (deceased), Robert and 
Martha (Chambers, deceased), Josie, Katherine (Staples), Azariah and 
Ermine P. Robert and Martha are twins.  Samuel B. has been twice 
married; first, January 29, 1867, to Joanna A., daughter of Richard C. 
Mansfield.  She was born December 3, 1843, and bore her husband two 
children:  Herschel P. and Charles A. (deceased).  She died December 23, 
1871.  Mr. Hatcher's second marriage took place April 1, 1873, to Mrs. 
Mary E. Dickerson, daughter of Robert and Edith (Peers) West.  Her 
children are William (deceased), Charles (deceased), and Thomas J. 
Dickerson.  Mr Hatcher is the owner of ninety-five acres of fine land, 
well improved and in a good state of cultivation.  He is a member of the 
Rock Spring Baptist Church, as also his wife.  He is an active farmer, 
and in politics is a stanch and unswerving Democrat.
