Andrew Hatfield (Cpt of VA Militia) married Christina Snidow (Note, this
is incorrect last name. SGB). They lived on Big Stoney Creek, Virginia,
a tributary of the New River, before moving to what is now Cabell County,
WV, north of Salt Rock (Inez). He owned both sides of the Guyan river in
this area.
Andrew was a Capt in the Rev. War. It is also believed that Andrew was
with Daniel Boone in 1795 when he surveyed two tracts of land of 100,000
acres each running from the site of Boone C.H to the Kentucky Line. The
names of the survey party: Daniel Boone, George Arnold, Edmund Price,
Thomas Upton, and Andrew Hatfield were cut into the bark on a beech tree.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
This cemetery is separate from all other "Hatfield" family cemeteries in
Cabell County, West Virginia.
From "History of the Mose Hatfield Family: complete to 1940" by Tina
(Hatfield) Ashworth, an unpublished family history I found in the
Hinchman Family Collection in Special Collections at Marshall University
in Huntington, WV.
"Capt. Hatfield and his wife were buried on the inside bend of the river,
where it makes a sharp turn to the West. Time and flood have erased
nearly all trace of their graves."
From Barboursville- drive approximately 6 miles South on McComas Road
going toward Salt Rock. Turn right onto Roach Road. You will immediately
come upon a bridge crossing the Guyan river. After you cross the bridge,
as you come off the other side, you will see a brick house and driveway
on your right. As you turn into the driveway, it will split and you bear
to the right. You will then turn to the left onto another gravel
driveway. Follow it to the end (about 1/10 mile) to the brown doublewide
home. This is part of the old Frye farm. Please ask permission of the
homeowner before proceeding. You will walk thru the yard to the right of
the house toward a little outbuilding by the hillside. Walk down the
hillside (abt 25ft.) to a narrow bottom along the riverbank. Turn to the
left and walk maybe 500 feet to a wider spot where there is a fenced in
area. Near the fence is a few old trees. At one end is a clump of large
oaks. At the other end is a couple Boxelder maples. One of the maples is
hollow. They look to be well over 100 years old. But I understand
boxelders do not normally survive that long. If you turn right at the
maples, you will walk straight into the river at a sharp bend. This
little flat area has flooded many times as it is so low and close to the
river. I don't know why the Hatfields would have been buried here, except
it must have looked a lot different 200 years ago.
