Elias Hatfield, my gr gr grandfather, b. ca 1806 TN was first recorded in the 1840 census of Crawford CO, AR and again in the 1850 census of Greene CO, MO. There is an Elias Hatfield on the 1830 census of Cumberland CO, KY without absolute proof that this is "the Elias".
I believe that my Elias is kin to the Valentine Jr. Hatfield clan that moved from TN to Fulton CO, AR in 1840-1850 (ref. Harry Sellards Hatfield book pp. 426-427). My gr grandfather Francis Marion Hatfield (son of Elias) b. ca 1846-48 MO moved to AR and then was in The Oklahoma Land Run of '89. My Francis M. had what was termed a cousin named Francis Hatfield (same name) on page 427, 41-4 of Sellards' book. Cousin Francis visited my gr grandfather in 1921 in OK and died during the visit, I have a copy of his death cert. Cousin Francis' line is well documented, but we have no concrete evidence linking our Elias to the Valentine Jr. line.
The next piece of the saga is family rumor that Elias' mother was a Basham (a red headed Basham) and that she took Elias out of TN when he was a young boy, to where we don't know perhaps KY.
