A leading representative of the coal mining industry in Mingo County is found in the per- son of Valentine Hatfield, a man of extended and varied experience who is looking after the land and timber holdings of the United Thacker Coal Company, and likewise known as a prominent and influential citizen of Burch, also known as Rockhouse. Mr. Hatfield was born in what is now Mingo County, but then Logan County, West Virginia, in April, 1868, a son of Ellison and Sarah Ann (Staten) Hat- field, and a member of an old and honored family of Virginia. Ellison Hatfield, a native of Virginia, as was his wife, fought valiantly as a private in an infantry regiment of Virginians during the war between the North and South, his commanding general being Robert E. Lee. With the fall of the Confederacy and the subsequent cessation of hostilities he returned to his home, bearing the marks of six wounds on his body and also with a record for faithful, brave and loyal service, which included his capture by the enemy at the battle of Gettysburg. Leaving his native state after his marriage, he repaired to Logan County, West Virginia, and there continued to be engaged in agricultural pursuits during the remainder of his life. He was every active in the work of the Baptist Church and was a man universally respected and esteemed in his community. Valentine Hatfield attended the common schools of Mingo County, but his education was somewhat curtailed, as he was still a youth when he assumed life's responsibilities on his own account, being but eighteen years of age at the time of his marriage. Adopting the calling of his father, that of an agriculturist, he applied himself assiduously to this line of activity and became the owner of a goodly property. Some years ago he became identified with the United Thacker Coal Company, subsequently acted as their pur- chasing agent in the acquirement of many of the properties of this concern, and for the past fifteen years has been superintending the interests of this concern in this region in regard to the land and timber requirements of the com- pany. This company has extensive holdings in the Pigeon Creek community, where it is known as an important enter- prise, giving employment to large numbers of men. In November, 1886, in Mingo County, Mr. Hatfield was united in marriage with Miss America Hatfield, who, al- though of the same name and living but eight miles up Pigeon Creek, belonged to another family, a daughter of Madison and Nancy (Ferrell) Hatfield. Mr. Hatfield was an agriculturist and a Confederate veteran of a Virginia regiment. Eight children were born to this union: Madi- son, who died May 4, 1906; Joe, an attorney of Williamson, who married Betta Damron; James Elva, a physician, who married Helda Fola; Matilda, who married Lon Mahon, a general merchant of Rockhouse; E. Couse, who married Pearl Gary; Verdie, who married Thomas Varney, a car- penter of England, West Virginia; Sarah, who married G. U. Curry, a carpenter of Burch; and Edna, who married Charles Osborn, a civil engineer with the United Thacker Coal Company. Mr. Hatfield, while not being a seeker after public honors, has been willing to discharge his respon- sibilities as a citizen, and has served as a justice of the peace and as a member of the Mingo County Court. He has an excellent record as a official, a business man and a citizen, and is held in high esteem by his fellow citizens.

Record for Sarah Ann Staton Uncle Floyd Floyd Hatfield was born slower than his siblings and, unmarried, lived with his mother and his brother Kirk until his death. According to family lore, Floyd's mother Sarah Staton Hatfield claimed that Floyd was "marked by a wild boar." Sarah said this because one day, after quarreling with her husband Ellison and pregnant with Floyd, she ran into the hills to gain some solitude. At some point she met a boar that chased her until she fell and ripped her dress. Upon giving birth to Floyd she realized that he had the "mark" of this animal. jimmyjingles193 added this on 11 Jan 2013 jq999 originally submitted this to EC family tree on 10 Jan 2013 Staton Hatfield, Sara Ann Sarah Staton Hatfield jimmyjingles193added this on 22 Apr 2010 jq999originally submitted this to EC family tree on 2 Aug 2009 Hatfield, Ellison 1841-1882 during Civil War Ellison Hatfield 1841-1882 Sometime during the Civil War , Logan County, Virginia jimmyjingles193 added this on 16 Jun 2009 FrancesEarpMeyer originally submitted this to A Hatfield Family Tree on 22 Aug 2008 Ellison Hatfield.
