HATFIELD —
I am involved in a one-name study for the surname Hatfield. I am researching this name throughout the world. My earliest Hatfield ancestor that I have documented is my 6th great grandfather John Hatfield, who was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1686. He died in Montgomery County, Pa. before 1756. He was married to Elizabeth Travis. John’s father might have been Adam Hatfield, who was born in 1655 in Germany; however, I have no documented proof of that. Adam’s wife might have been a Miss Pauling.

Hello ~ interesting! I’m researching Heuston/Hueston myself. My grgrgrandfather was William Heuston m. Almira Hatch Barber. Their children were: Theodore, Ebenezer and Jerome DeWitt. This Heuston family migrated from IN>IL>KS between 1850 and 1870. Would love to find Wiliam’s parents/sibling info. Any shared info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sherre
Sherre,
Was your Heuston family originally from Ireland?
I’m sorry, I have no information on any Heustons in the U.S. other than my own. My Elizabeth Bridger Hueston’s father was Patrick Hueston and they immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri from Ireland in about 1863.

Good luck in your search!

Hi,
I am looking for Susan Hayden, born about 1853 in Kentucky. She may be the same Susan Hayden that married Logan Arbuckle in Platte Co., Missouri in 1890. I locate them in 1900 in Cedar Co., Missouri where I see that she is his 2nd wife, but can’t find them after that.

30 yrs. ago i met arvilla drinkard gill thru the phone and mail. somewhere between’79-81. she was looking for the family of dennis and minnie drinkard. i gave her info.. and pd. $15.00 for the book. my son in 1st grade wanted to take the book to school to show his ancesters and lost it. 2o yrs later i was back in touch with my aunt pat drinnkard johnson. she was dennis and minnie’s grandaughter as was my father. i have looked cannot find the records for callaway county only a few and they are obits. i was born in fulton and still have family there. all of my drinkard relatives that iknow of are all buried there or mokane a smaller town on the river. reading the story of the brothers gave me joy as i have heard it also. my aunt has sent me photocopies of origiinal land deeds. a pa per htat shows when william became a door keeper,the william that was secretaary of war, the drinkard tavern(apicture),ect. i am interested in my family and do want to put it all together for my children and grandchildren. i would like info on the drinkard that was in the revolutionary war. arvilla had given it to me and so had my aunt. i cannot find it. also, the drinkard or drikard’s that were in the civil war. i know about the drinkard wagon in oregon. my aunt went there and sent me pictures. just would like some help putting all together. thank you rhonda drinkard
Hi Rhonda,
It is good to hear from you. I also corresponded via mail, emai,l and phone with Arvilla — but in the early 90s. I purchased the Drinkard book and still have it. I have not as yet entered all the information from the book into my family tree program. I’ve only entered information on my individual descendant line from William. I also have a copy of the document that shows William as a Doorkeeper of the House of Burgesses, as well as William Rollerson Drinkard’s document about him operating a tavern in Williamsburg. He was the son of William Drinkard. I have been to Colonial Williamsburg and have found additional documents regarding William Drinkard. I have plans to scan those in and put them on my website. At one time a Colonial Williamsburg Actor/Interpreter played the role of William. I believe it was John Drinkard that was in the Rev. War and he was Arvilla’s ancestor. He is not my ancestor. I also personally do not have a Drinkard Civil War ancestor and cannot recall which Drinkard was in the Civil War, without looking at the book. It will be a while before I can get the Drinkard documents scanned in and the webpage updated, as I’m currently working on my Bridger family documents. Arvilla sent me a lot of copies and most of it does not pertain to my particular line of Drinkards. Eventually I will be happy to make copies for you and can send copies to you. Please email me directly at [email protected] and send me your mailing address and I will send those copies to you.
Regards,
Elaine
Larry,
Logan had 3 wives. Logan died Jan 1906 in Purcell, Jasper County, Missouri. Susan died 13 jul 1901 in Missouri. That’s why you can’t find them in the 1910 census. They were married Oct 3, 1890 in Missouri. I have a copy of their marriage license, and a photo of Logan. I do not find a death record from the Missouri death records archive. If you have a subscription to Ancestry.com you can find more info. I am sending the marriage license copy and the photo to you via email. If you need more info, let me know.

I was playing on the computer and happened to see this site my father was Dennis and Minnies grandson and I am Pat Drinkard Johnsons niece. I have the original Drinkards in the US. My husband is British and I was told the original Drinkards were from Wales. Is that true or is it England? My husband and I have made several trips to Wales and the Drinkard physical characteristic which are similar to mine fair complexion and blue eyes are very similar to the Welsh.
Thanks,
Marla Drinkard-Harvey
Elaine, While i am kin to Molly McAdams from descending from William mcAdams,
greene co, ill throught the marrieage of Isaac Smith and Martha McAdams,Greene co.Ill,
I also matched a descendent of Lewis Riddle Powell,georgia. family finder dna. I am researching Isaac smith
of greene co. il born about 1795. Came to Morgan co 1820 with David,thomas, James,.
Isaac jr born in cincinatti ,probably came through cincinatii floating down the OhioRiver.from Augusta or berkely co. Virginia.I believe the Smiths were connected to the
Powells prior to the migration of James powell to greene co. Probably west Virginia.
any thoughts?
