御旗本御使番本多三弥と言葉を交わし証拠を取り、働きの趣を速やかに
上聞に達した。その後両将軍様の御前に召し出され、御盃を下され、
御感状二通、御馬、黄金を拝領した。その上権現様が御座をお立ちになり、
御懇切な上意の趣は「一番槍を合わせ、殊にその場での働き、とりわけ一手の
将を討ち分捕りを仕り、その上七日の働きなど、すべて比類なき候趣」を本多三弥が
詳細に上聞に達したところ、甚だ御感銘を受けられた。その節、御次の間に土井
大炊頭殿、青山大蔵殿が詰めておられ、右の様子を聞かれて「ただ今の
上意の趣は尋常の儀ではない、武士の冥加に適う」と言って羨ましがられ、
知高に盃を所望して御飲みになったと申し伝えられている。その子八田金右衛門知
秋は右知高の三男であった。寛永年中に井伊靱負佐直滋に出
仕したところ、直滋が江州百済寺に閉居の節、始終相勤め、卒去の後

英語訳
He exchanged words with the hatamoto messenger Honda San'ya as proof, and quickly
reported the details of his service to the lord's attention. Afterwards, he was summoned before both Shogun lords, granted sake cups,
received two commendation letters, a horse, and gold. Furthermore, Lord Gongen stood up from his seat and
gave gracious words to the effect: "He engaged in the first spear thrust, and his conduct on the battlefield, particularly taking down an independent
commander and taking his head, plus his seven days of service - all are incomparable." Honda San'ya
reported these details to the lord's attention, and he was deeply moved. At that time, in the waiting chamber, Lord Doi
Ōi-no-kami and Lord Aoyama Ōkura were present and heard these circumstances, saying "The present
lord's words are not ordinary matters, but befitting a warrior's divine favor," and they envied him,
requesting sake from Tomotaka and drinking with him, as it has been passed down. His son Hatta Kinemon Tomo-
aki was the third son of the aforementioned Tomotaka. During the Kan'ei era, he entered
service under Ii Yukie-no-suke Naoshige, and when Naoshige went into seclusion at Hyakusaiji Temple in Gōshū, he served him throughout, and after his death
became a ronin, but was summoned during Lord Mitsumichi's reign.
Granted family headship in the 3rd year of Jōkyō (1686, Year of the Fire Tiger) during Lord Yoshishina's reign
Adopted son
Hatta Kinemon Eiji《birthplace: Ōmi, Buddhist name: Kinchū｜real father: elder brother of Tomoaki, Hatta Sakon-emon Tomona, monk Suisei》
Granted family headship in the 2nd year of Kyōhō (1717, Year of the Fire Rooster) during Lord Yoshikuni's reign
Current Hatta Kinzaburō Eijō《birthplace: Echizen》
Regarding ancestral military achievements, during Lord Mitsumichi's reign there was an inquiry to
grandfather Kinemon Tomoaki, and he submitted a written report. Later, there was an official inquiry to Lord Ii Kamon-no-kami regarding matters
from the Osaka Campaign, so written reports about ancestral
achievements were submitted by those of the same name residing in Hikone, as we have heard. The commendation letters and other old evidence
are preserved by the main family residing in Hikone, so we possess only copies.
