Hatcher, Josiah - Burke ******************************************************* The fact that he was living apart from his parents in the 1820 census indicates he has already received his inheritance, thus no mention in his father's will. There is no other known Josiah other than this son of Josiah Sr who could have entered the 1827 Lottery from Burke County. With all other sons of Josiah Sr accounted for, the only conclusion one can draw is that this Josiah must have been the husband of Matilda Brown.
