The first one died before Hatfield married the second, and the second was a Devonshire girl who bailed him out of jail in order to marry her. He certainly wasn't a very grateful sort.Alyssa Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074748920540723377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605326350033222320.post-52107304363050007832012-04-19T19:56:42.809-04:002012-04-19T19:56:42.809-04:00Interesting story, Alyssa, not one I'd heard a...Interesting story, Alyssa, not one I'd heard about.

Hatfield married the girl for her dowry, spent the money, ran out on her and their three daughters, and then presumed on the duke for money to get out of prison--twice. He wooed his second wife during a lengthier prison stint, but likewise abandoned her and their two infant children.Alyssa Everetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074748920540723377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605326350033222320.post-42961601866899943152012-04-19T08:20:25.483-04:002012-04-19T08:20:25.483-04:00Great story.
