Notes:

Probable son of Thomas and Margaret Hathway of Kingscote, Gloucestershire, England per the Hathawayfamilyassociation.org. The best reference on this is The Hathaways of America by Elizabeth Starr Versailles published 1965. The book notes the will of Margaret Hataway, the widow of Thomas Hathaway, which mentioned two sons, Nicholas and Abraham. The book notes that Hathaway is a fairly common name in England, although Nicholas and Abraham are not. There are no other parish references to be found to a Nicholas. The name Abraham appears as a grandson of Nicholas. That is not enough evidence to conclude that Nicholas is the son of Thomas and Margaret. At best, we can say the possible Nicholas is the son of Thomas and Margaret Hathaway of Kingscote, Gloucestershire, England.
