Note from Nel: This DAR data may be the source for the occasional reference to Huldah Tyce (Tice) as wife of Edward Hatcher. At this point there appears to be no other records to verify this marriage. At the time of his death, Edward was married to Sarah Borling who was the mother of his two youngest children. There is no reference in his will to his previous wife(s). Oddly enough, Edward had a grandson who named his daughter Huldah Tice Hatcher. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has further data on Huldah Tice.
