Request partially completed [19 July 2023]

Hi.

As a volunteer administrator, it is my job to respond to requests to delete pages from WeRelate. I saw your request to move Person:Mary Cochran (10) to different parents, which I have done in good faith after checking the Annals of Southwest Virginia. I changed her birth year as requested as well. What I did not do is to make William Cochran (husband of Margaret) the son of Peter and Margaret Cochran as the notes on Mary's page indicate. This requires more research that is outside my area of expertise. If you believe that William was the son of Peter and Margaret, please add them as parents to his page and provide a source and/or argument for doing so. You'd probably want to change Peter's birth year ("before 1735", the same as William's) as well.

For next time: WeRelate doesn't require you to ask others to change data that they created. You could have made these changes yourself by editing Mary's page, removing her parents (both sets, since she was linked to 2 sets), adding new parents and selecting William and Margaret. A request for delete (as you submitted) is a request to delete the page entirely from WeRelate, which was not your intention.

Take care.--DataAnalyst 12:43, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Joseph Hatfield [15 August 2023]

Hi, Jacie---

Leslie Collier, Jerry Hatfield, and I made a concerted effort from the late '60s all though the 1970s to collect all the sources and info we could find on Joseph, the Rev War veteran, in an effort to separate the facts from the many fanciful stories about him -- especially that nonsense about him being descended from Matthias Hatfield of Staten Island, which was an invention by a Hatfield researcher back in the '30s who just wanted to connect to a wealthy & titled family back in England.

Leslie was living in Dallas then, and I was on the staff of the Dallas Public Library, which had one of the largest genealogy collections west of the Appalachians, and we went through every published source we could find in those pre-Ancestry, pre-WWW days -- both secondary histories and collections of primary documents. (Inter-Library Loan is your friend.) Jerry put it all online and it's all still available at <https://www.theheritagelady.com/jerry-hatfields-compiled-genealogy/hatftrea.htm>, though I don't think anything new has been added there in some time. (We're all getting old.) I gather you've also seen some of Leslie's excellent analyses of the data, most of which can be found online.

The short of it is, everything there is to find about Joseph Hatfield is available at Jerry's website and/or on my Joseph Hatfield page here at WeRelate -- I think. Specifically, the early Tennessee tax records have been collected and published, and those include a "Joseph Hatfield" in 1797 in Grainger County, and in 1805 in Anderson County. (The "Joseph" listings in Campbell County in the 1830s would be his son.) Nothing in Greene County. Based on the birthplaces of his children, he appears to have moved his family from Virginia straight to Tennessee between 1795 & 1800, so one or both of those earliest listings are probably the elder Joseph. (He seems to be the only "Joseph Hatfield" of tax-paying age at that time.)

There's no evidence that Joseph settled for any length of time in Kentucky, though it's quite possible he wintered over in Pulaski County or elsewhere on the slow journey west. (That was pretty common.) We also don't know whether he had a particular destination in mind in Tennessee -- following family or friends, or whatever -- or whether he was just looking for a good spot and liked the looks of Campbell County when he got there. I actually know something about Pulaski County, because that's where the Gastineau family was from, which intermarried with the Hatfield in Indiana a couple generations later. And checking through my sources on Pulaski, I don't find anything on the Hatfields.--Mike^Talk 12:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
