Martin & Nancy Hatfield Family Record

This family record for the Martin and Nancy Hatfield family was found in papers belonging to their daughter, Minnie Pearl Hatfield Wilson.  It is a record of the births for the Hatfield children, also recorded are a few marriages and one death record.  The last entry was added upside down at the top of the back page in 1910.  My guess is that the record was written sometime between 1895 and 1905. This is the only record of son, James Monroe Hatfield, born 14 August 1889 and died 23 August 1895 when he was 7 years and 9 days old.

Charlie Hatfield Family Photo

 

Charlie Hatfield Family

This photo was found in the family album belonging to my great-grandma Minnie Pearl Hatfield Wilson.  Written on the back of the photo was "Charlie Hatfield's family".  At the time that was all I knew about the photo until a Hatfield family researcher left the following information: "The children in the photo are identified as: Oldest Son was John Martin (far left), next son was Paul Martin (standing between Inez &Charly), then Lucille Hatfield, then Martin Hatfield, and then Rena Jo Hatfield is the youngest child in this photo." Guessing from the ages of the children, the photo was taken early 1925. They appear to be on their front porch of their Dove Creek homestead.

This is just one example of  how family history researchers working together can leave a more complete history for descendants.  I had a photo and another researcher could identify the individuals in the photo.  If any descendant of the Charles Hatfield family would like the original, just contact me.

Charles Orlando Hatfield was the second son of  Martin Monroe Hatfield and Nancy Abbigail McNeil.  He was born on 22 March 1882 in Smith County, Kansas.  By 1900, Charlie had moved with his family to Woods County, Oklahoma.  From Oklahoma, the Hatfield family moved to Dove Creek, Colorado.  When Charlie was thirty-five years old, he married Inez Allen Martin in Cortez, Montezuma, Colorado.  Inez had two sons from a previous marriage.  The Hatfield's lived on their homestead in Dove Creek, Colorado.  They had seven children: Lucille Hatfield, Martin Monroe Hatfield, Rena Joe Hatfield, Zena Rae Hatfield, Charles Hatfield Jr, Pearl Lillie Hatfield, and Celesta Hatfield.
