About the Author
Elizabeth Starr Versailles (1909-1997) was
named Genealogist of the Association in 1962.
She became Genealogist Emeritus in 1984 but
remained active in Hathaway research for many
years after that. It was through her tireless
efforts and sizeable skill that our three
Hathaway books were published. Her first
publication was in 1965, some 621 pages, which
finally put into print the results of Mary Hathaway
Herbert's research, along with contributions
from many. This proved to be a most popular
book and many more Hathaways and their
descendants joined in the efforts. The result
was HATHAWAYS OF AMERICA, 1970 Edition,
1426 pages, which included most of what had
been in the 1965 book. A supplement,
HATHAWAYS 1200-1980, 621 pages, was added
in 1980. Beth coordinated the research done by
hundreds of volunteers, along with doing much
of it herself. She also oversaw the typing and
proofreading that had to be done, much of it by
her sisters and brother who contributed
photography knowledge. Given the amount of
records we now have, she had to have worked
60 hour weeks for over 20 years. Her legacy to
all Hathaways is of immeasureable value.

In 1972, Gail Abner Hathaway privately
published JESSE HATHAWAY FAMILY,
a softcover book, 114 pages. This
contains much of the same Hathaway
material as is printed in HATHAWAYS OF
AMERICA, 1970 Edition (Gail had done
the research for that section of the book)
but it does include many more family photos
and makes a compact presentation of this
particular line. Jesse's ancestry was
Abraham 6, Benjamin 5, 4, Abraham 3,
John 2, Nicholas 1. Through the generosity
of Gail's granddaughter, Gaile Wright
Sweeney, we have obtained the remaining
copies of the Jesse book. They are
available to those from this line at a cost of
$5.00 (to cover handling and mailing).
They can be ordered from:
Ruth Keightley (make checks payable to
her)
