The Hatfields, Vances, Gibsons, Smiths & Musicks were widespread and 
influential families in SW Virginia from before the Revolution (in which 
all of them served, on the frontier) to c1800; in the 1790s, many members 
of the Hatfield, Vance & Gibson families moved into Kentucky & Tennessee. 
Ale married Milly Gibson, and followed his
father into Wayne Co, KY--the family's understanding is that Milly was a 
bit too "civilized" for her husband--and Ale soon took up with Elizabeth 
Young, setting her up in a cabin on Station Camp Creek. For several 
years, he managed to maintain 2 households, having offspring by both 
women, but Milly apparently threw him out c
1812--but refused him a divorce.  Ale moved to Greene Co, IN, joining 
Ale's brothers, Joseph & William, who had already made the move. Milly 
followed him in 1836, gave him his divorce, and returned to live with her 
son-in-law, John McCoy, in Campbell Co, TN [listed there in 1850].  Ale & 
Elizabeth then formally married, giving his "second" family some 
legitimacy (though such arrangements were not uncommon on the 
frontier...).  After Ale's death, Elizabeth lived with her son, 
Washington Hatfield, until her death.
