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.
