Hello, I'm enjoying this site. My great grandfather was William Anderson
(devil anse) Hatfield. My grandmother Mary Hatfield (dtr. of Anse)
married my grandfather Frank Howes in Cabell Co. WV 7/4/1900. She was
married first to a Simpkins, then Hensley, then Frank Howes. She had a
son and dtr. by Simpkins but they both died of consumption around 8 yrs.
of age. The prev. husbands died, one fell ...off a horse I was told. Mary
and Frank Howes had four sons. James Anderson Howes (Anse) and Lindsey
Howes and Jennings Harvey Howes who was my dad, he went by Harvey. And
the fourth son was Joe Howes. They lived at Sarah Ann, on Island Creek. I
was born there, the fourth of six children of Harvey Howes and Anna Grace
Miller. I knew gr.grpa Anse moved from Blackberry Creek because of the
danger there with the feud. The mountains and hollows gave him and his
family more protection. We visited his gravesite many times on the
hillside of Sarah Ann when I was growing up in WV. We moved to
Bengal/Kistler coal camp when I was five, then moved away because of mine
closings. My uncle Joe is buried in the Hatfield Cemetery at Sarah Ann.
He was killed in a mining accident at the age of 34 leaving five small
daughters in 1950-or `51. I bought 10 of Altina Waller's book called
"Feud" Social Change in the Appalachians. She put it all into historical
context. I gave one to each of my sisters and brothers and to my four
kids, keeping one. WV Archives has a photo of my dad Harvey and his
brother Lindsey as toddlers. I have the photo also. I've enjoyed all the
posts. Thanks.
