The family of Hatter had an estate and seat in East Creech, Knolle parish, in the 17th and 18th centuries; but in 1770 it passed out of their hands. During the latter half of last century there were two well - known Shaftesbury squires of this name, and the name is still in that town. The great tithes of Sydling St. Nicholas, in the first quarter of last century, were held by a Mr. Hayter. John Hayter, son of the rector of Sutton Mandeville, Wilts, lived for half a century in Melbury Abbas, and died in 1770; his son (apparently) was churchwarden of Melbury Abbas, Dorset, in 1786 (H.).
