Thank you for sharing this article! Rebecca was my great great grandmother. Her son, written here as Hibbard but his death certificate is William Hibbert Hatfield, was my great grandfather, and his daughter, Doskie Hatfield was my grandmother. I have been doing some research on Monteville. I thought he was pardoned from prison much later so this helps me. Let me know if you would like to to share what I found.

SISTER-IN-LAW OF OLD 'DEVIL ANSE' HATFIELD DIES IN LOGAN AT 86
LOGAN, May 15 -- AP -- Mrs Rebecca Hatfield, widow of Monteville Hatfield, died here Saturday night at the home of a daughter. She was 86.
Mrs Hatfield was a sister-in-law of "Devil Anse" Hatfield, the leader of his clan in the storied fued with the McCoys, and an aunt of Dr. Henry D. Hatfield of Huntington, former Governor and US Senator.
She was a daughter of the late Nathan and Matilda Chafin, the youngest and last surviving member of a family of 11 children.
Monteville Hatfield, a "peaceful" member of the clan, left his farm on the Tug River, Mingo county, during the feud and made his way to Virginia where he lived until it subsided.
Later, he was convicted of a murder in connection with the feud, but after serving five years in prison it was discovered he had been "framed" and he was released with full pardon to return to his farm.
He died some 40 years ago.
Mrs. Hatfield leaves four children,
Mrs. Lydia Jackson,
Hibbard and
Howard Hatfield,
all of Logan, and
Reese Acord, a son by a former marriage, in Mingo County.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete but the burial will be at the side of her husband in the Hatfield family cemetery on Main Island Creek, where "Devil Anse" also is buried and where a monument of him commemorates his leadership of the clan.
