Frederick Hatch
Due to poor winter weather conditions on the mountaintop, Monticello will be closed to the public on Wednesday, February 12.
Frederick Hatch was an Episcopal minister in Charlottesville, Virginia. He gave services in the county courthouse until an Episcopal church was built in 1824. Hatch ran a school that Thomas Jefferson's grandsons, Benjamin Franklin Randolph, Meriwether Lewis Randolph, and James Madison Randolph attended. Jefferson himself donated money for a house for Mr. Hatch.[1] Martha Jefferson Randolph reportedly went to Hatch's services.[2]
Frederick Hatch presided over Thomas Jefferson's funeral service.
