Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of the Family of Hatton, Vol. 1 This second Christopher was likewise made a K.B. at the coronation of Charles the First, and was raised to the peerage in 1643, with the title of Baron Hatton of Kirby, co. Northampton. After the restoration he was appointed Governor of the island of Guernsey. He married Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of Sir Charles Montagu of Boughton, by whom he had two sons and three daughters, and died in 1670. He was succeeded in the title and also in the government of Guernsey by his eldest son, a third Christopher, who, in 1682, was further advanced to be Viscount Hatton of Gretton, co. Northampton. It is to this Viscount Hatton that the bulk of the Hatton papers belonged; and the greater number of the letters here printed were addressed to him. He was born in 1632, and in 1667 married his first wife, Cecilia, daughter of John Tufton, second Earl of Thanet. By her he had three daughters, two of whom died in infancy; the third, Anne, married Daniel Finch, second Earl of Nottingham. Lady Hatton was killed in the explosion of the powder magazine at Cornet Castle, in Guernsey, which was struck by lightning on the night of 29-30 December, 1672. Lord Hatton himself had a remarkable escape, having been blown in his bed on to the battlements without suffering injury. His mother also perished, together with some of the servants; while two of his children who were in the castle were uninjured. In 1676 Lord Hatton married again. His second wife was Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Yelverton, of Easton Mauduit, co. Northampton, Bart., who bore him several children, all of whom however died in infancy, except one daughter.
