For a picture of Ephraim, go to the Media section.

Ephraim Hatfield was born in 1765 in Russell County, Virginia and died October 13, 1847 at Blackberry Creek, Pike County, Kentucky. From him, all Hatfields in the Tug River Valley descend.

Ephraim married (1) Mary Smith (1754-1800). Joseph and Valentine. He married (2) the widow Annie McKinney Music (1764-1859). He had children with both wives.

Ephraim Hatfield was listed himself in Russell County, VA, in 1788.Since it was the law of the land that any male 21 or over must listhimself, his slaves, horses, cattle and property for militarypurposes, it means that Ephraim was 21 years old that year. However,he did not yet own any property. Ephraim seemingly never owned landin Russell County, and yet appears to be the son of Joseph Hatfield.He married Mary Smith Goff and they had three children, Valentine,Joseph, and Biddy. Bidy was a nickname for Brigeta which was the nameof Mary's mother. Her father was Ericus Smith who was in Fincastleand Russell Counties. Also, Ericus and Mary Smith were the parents ofRachael Smith who married Joseph Hatfield after his first wife,Elizabeth Vance, died. Ephraim Hatfield was probably named for theElizabeth Vance's brother, Ephraim Vance. Mary died and Ephraim married Annie McKinney Musick, widow of DavidMusick who was killed by Indians and Annie and the children carriedoff by them. Ephraim was among those who rescued them. Later theywere married and had five children of their own. Ephraim moved toLogan County, W. VA and some of the decendants of his son, Valentine,aided by other relatives and inlaws, fueded with the McCoys in PikeCounty, KY, just across the creek.
