Valentine Hatfield was a member of the company of Captain Burwell
Spurlock in the war of 1812.

Note: "Wall" Hatfield served in the war of 1812. He received a land grant of fifty acres in Floyd County, Kentucky, in 1821. This would be present day Pike County, Kentucky. Sometime after 1830, he moved his family to Logan County, and settled in what is now Wyoming County, West Virginia. HATFIELD Henry Clay Ragland had this to say about the Hatfield Family (Swain, p. 68-69; 75-76): "At what is still known as the Hatfield place, on Horsepen, Valentine Hatfield of Washington County, Virginia, settled at quite an early day. He was the father of nine sons and three daughters, and from them have sprung many of the Hatfields of the Guyandotte and Sandy Valleys. Valentine Hatfield married a Miss Weddington, and he was a half-brother of Thomas Smith. His sons were Ali, who married a daughter of Ferrell Evans; Ephraim, who married Bettie Vance; Joe, who also married a daughter of Ferrell Evans (this Ephraim Hatfield was one of the quietest men in the county, and was for a long time a Justice of the Peace, yet he was the father and grandfather of the Hatfields who were engaged in the Hatfield-McCoy feud); Andrew, who married a daughter of Humphrey Trent and whose descendants live in Wyoming County; Thomas, who married a daughter of Frank Evans; John, who married a daughter of Abner Vance; James, who married a daughter of John Toler (Squire M. A. Hatfield and James Hatfield are the sons of this marriage); Jacob, who married a daughter of Peter Cline; and Valentine, who was never married. Of his three daughters, Phoebe married Alexander Varney; Celia married James Perry; and Annie married James Justice, who was at one time sheriff of Logan County, and who was the father of John Justice, once a prominent merchant of Logan Courthouse; B. H. Justice, once a merchant and timber dealer in Cabell County, and William E. Justice, once a merchant of North Spring, and at one time a member of the West Virginia Legislature. Joseph Hatfield, a brother of Valentine Hatfield, settled about the same time at Matewan and will be mentioned hereafter." ... "Joseph Hatfield, who has already been mentioned as the brother of Valentine Hatfield, and a half-brother of Thomas Smith of Horsepen, settled at what is now Matewan at about the same time that his brother settled on Horsepen. He married a Miss Evans of Russell County, and was the father of ten sons and one daughter. His sons were Joseph, William, Ferrell, Ephraim, John, Valentine, Richard, Thomas, James, Smith and McGinnis, and the name of his daughter was Phoebe. All of them moved across the river into Kentucky." The Hatfields calls this daughter Virginia Jane (Hatfield, p. 191, 199) Moved first to Wyoming Co., and later to Logan Co., WV. He was the progenitor of many Hatfields in Southwestern WV. Several of them, including William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, a great grandson of Ephraim and Mary, participated in the Hatfield-McCoy fued. In fact, "Devil Anse" was supposedly a leader for the Hatfield fueders. - The Musick Book Had 12 children, 9 of them sons. - Fued: Hatfields, McCoys, and Social Change in Appalachia, 1860-1900 1

Title: Hatfield Family Originia
Author: Elaine Powell
Publication: http://members.aol.com/hatwelle/genealogy.html
Text: Ephraim had two sons. One of his sons, Valentine, born in 1790, first appears in Washington County, Virginia which records his marriage to Martha Weddington. Valentine and his bride emigrated to what was then Logan County and settled at what is still known as Hatfield Place on Horse Pen Creek in Mingo County, West Virginia. He was one of the most prominent men of the region. Like his brother Joseph in Pike County, Valentine sired a large and prolific family; he was the father of eight boys and three daughters. He became the founder of the Hatfield dynasty in West Virginia. His family settled nearby. Eli and Ephraim (Big Eaf), settled in Mate Creek; Thomas and Jacob settled on Gilbert Creek; Joseph settled on Ben Creek; James G. "Old Slater" and his brother John plus Phoebe settled in what is now Wyoming County; Jenny lived near the Wyoming/Mingo County line at Justice, West Virginia, opposite the mouth of Little Huff Creek. Valentine eventually in 1855 took up about seventy-five acres of land in the "Roughs" of the Guyandotte River, near Justice, where he died on June 16, 1867.

Census: 1850 Logan Co- age 61, & wife Martha, age 61 (& others).
