  	Joseph B. Hatfield was the eldest child of Ephraim and his first wife, Polly Smith or Goff. He was born in 1785, so at the time of his arrival on Blackberry he would have been around 30 years old. His wife, Martha "Patsy" Evans, was also 30 years old. They were married in 1808, and by 1815 they had four children: William, Ferrell Marion, Ephraim, and Phoebe. Martha Evans was the daughter of William Harmon Evans and Martha Thompson. Martha Thompson's parents, John and Mary Thompson, were from Ulster, Ireland and, if the work I have seen is correct, Martha was the first of their children born in America (in 1746). Martha Thompson's first husband, William Ferrell, was also born in Ireland. He was killed by Indians in 1778 at the New Garden Settlement in what would eventually become Russell County, Virginia. Two of Martha's children with William Ferrell, John Ferrell and Richard Ferrell, also came to the Tug Valley, settling on the West Virginia side of the river.

Also of significance is the fact that the Alfords and Ross families were from New Kent County who's sons married into this Ferrell family. From 35 entries in North Carolina Deed books, and in the counties of Bertie, Edgecombe, Granville, Bute, Warren and Franklin, the following was put together: Starting on Aug. 10, 1734, John Ferrell purchased 100 acres from William Fish (his Father-in-law), in Bertie County, NC. This was the year he married Ann Fish. Over the next 53 years, John would accuire 4,464 acres either by grants or purchases. He would sell or deed to relatives, 3,231 acres during the same period. The last land sale recorded for John Ferrell, Sr. was on Sept. 11, 1792 to his son, John Ferrell, Jr. for 200 acres,,"on the south side of Tar River and on the Camp branch adajacent to Passion and Matthew Ferrell". John Ferrell died in January of 1793 and it is interesting to note the increased frequency and size of his land sales and other property (such as three slaves), as the year of his death approached. Following his death, the following records were recorded: June Ct. 1793 Bute Co.

From the time of the building of the old Block House at the forks of Sandy, about the year 1789, frequent visits were made from the cabins on the frontier by daring hunters to their friends in the old fort, but there is no account of any settlement being made on the West Virginia side of the river below the McDowell County line, or even above that line, until the year 1800, when Richard and John Ferrell, sons of Richard Ferrell, who was killed by the Indians in Thompson's Valley in 1780, settled on the farm where M.A. Ferrell now lives. Richard Ferrell, the youngest brother, married a Miss Romaines, of Russell County, Virginia, and was the father of ten children - six sons and four daughters. His sons were William, who married Mahala Tiller; John R., who married Elizabeth Coleman; Elizah, who married Barbara Jackson; Richard, who married Letitia Eskew; Evans, who married Martha Duty, and Moses, who married Jane Lockhart. His daughters were Rachel, who married William Tiller; Rebecca, who married Green Justice; Elizabeth, who married Joab Justice, and Nancy, who married Cummings Musie [?]. John Ferrell married Nancy Jackson of Russell County, Virginia. He was the father of three sons and two daughters. His sons were William, who moved to Roane County; Andrew, who married Polly Slater, and then moved to Missouri; and John, who married Jane Taylor, and was through a long life, a prominent Baptist preacher, and was greatly beloved by all who knew him. His daughters were Jennie, who married John Murphy, and Levisa, who married Ralph Steel, of Island Creek. johnlboydsradded this on 22 Dec 2009 nana2x1961originally submitted this to Coffey-Hardin-Hamilton-Williams Family Tree on 6 Dec 2008 nancy ferrell musick nancy ferrell johnlboydsradded this on 31 Oct 2010 Nancy Ferrell Musick Death cert 19190502 [S394] Ancestry.com, Public Member Trees, (Name: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.; Location: Provo, UT, USA; Date: 2006;), Database online., Skinner/Schinzel-Ahlemeyer/Haines Tree J_Ahlemeyer.
