Elizabeth Hatfield b. 1833
John (son) b. 1871
Thomas (son) b. 1874
Phoebe Fletcher (daughter) b. 1867
Thomas (grand son) b. 1897
Elizabeth is the widow of Thomas Henderson Hatfield (1825-1893), son of Joseph and Martha Hatfield. Thomas Henderson died in 1893. Elizabeth is the daughter of Jacob "Rich Jake" Cline, one of the largest landholders in the Tug Valley in the 1860s when he died (between 1842 and 1860 Rich Jake bought over 1200 acres of land on Peter Creek). Jacob Cline was the son of Peter Cline, for whom Peter Creek was named. Elizabeth's younger brother was Perry A. Cline, who petitioned the governor of Kentucky to issue indictments for Devil Anse and the other Hatfields in the 1880s. Her older sister Martha was the wife of Asa Harmon McCoy, who was killed in 1865 by Jim Vance while he hid in the woods.
Elizabeth's daughter Phoebe lives with her, along with Phoebe's young son Thomas. Phoebe is listed as divorced from her husband, Will Fletcher.
In a court case in 1916, the heirs of Phoebe's son Buddy (not born in 1900) will be sued by the heirs of Jordan Dotson over the mineral rights on some land once owned by Thomas Henderson Hatfield. In the court case, the area where Thomas Henderson and Elizabeth live is referred to as Peel Poplar Branch of Left Fork. I'm not sure where that is.
Will of Jacob "Rich Jake" Cline - leaving Elizabeth Hatfield land on Peter Creek.
