Notizen zu dieser Person

Ephraim Hatfield, son of Joseph Hatfield and possible Elizabeth Vance, was born 1765 in Washington Co, VA. It is reported that he was married to his fathers second wife's sister, Maria Mary Polly Smith.
Some say he married Mary Goff, but I believe this is not so since there in no proof and there is more proof on the side of Mary Smith. It is also reported that he was married to Anne McKenney, the widow of David Musick, on Nov 28, 1830 in Pike Co, KY. Anne died early in 1855 and was buried on Blackberry Creek, Pike Co, KY. Upon his death on June 16, 1855, Ephriam was buried beside her.

The Hatfields and The McCoys, by Otis K. Rice, states that the progenitor of the Hatfield family of KY, famous for its family feud with the McCoys was one Ephraim Hatfield. This Ephraim Hatfield it states first appeared in Russell Co, VA, records where Joseph resided in 1774, and with his second wife, Anne McKenney, moved to Pike Co, KY, where they died in 1855 and buried on Blackberry Creek. Thebig Hatfield-McCoy, according to Rice, with the grandchildren of Ephraim, particularly a grandson also named Ephraim and his respective children. Ephraim Hatfield, from whose loins spring the famousfeudists, did apparently have two wives, for he made deeds with one, Maria Mary Polly Smith, in VA, in the late 1700's, and legally married another, Anne McKenney, in KY, in 1830.

Ephraim's second marriage with Anne McKenney was in Pike Co, KY, Marriage Bond, File #263 Ephraim Hatfield and Anna Bundy, Nov 22, 1830, ". . . application was made hereof by George Hatfield their sonsufficient to Issue this License . . ." Ephriam shows no older woman in his household on the 1830 census of Pike Co, KY and there's a reason why. Shortly before this bond was taken out, Ephraim Hatfield is arraigned in Pike Co. court on charges of cohabitation. Notice that he married her as Anna Bundy (Mundy), not Annie McKenney or Musick. If you read further, you will see where Anne married anMundy before she married Ephriam. I believe this was the name they used to marry under. He appears on the 1820 census in Overton Co, TN, p. 15, showing 1 Male 16-26yrs old, 1 Male 26-45 yrs old and 1Female 16-26.

Interview with James C. Sifers, July 22, 1928, son of Jonathan & Josephine Colley Sifers.
While George Belcher, the speaker's wife's grandfather, was living in Russell County, the Indians made a raid there, killed David Musick, and carried his wife and, I believe, three children away. He joined thirteen other white men who followed the Indian trail down Indian Ridge to the mouth of Indian Creek, then on to Haysi. They reached there after dark and found the Indians in camp near the north end of the present county bridge over Russell Prater. The whites lay and watched the Indians camp all night. The next morning, they attacked, and killed one Indian. The rest scattered, some going up Russell Prater and some down the river. They rescued the captives and took them back to New Garden. Here Mrs. Musick and her children lived in Mr. Belcher's loom house in his yard for some time.She later married a Mundy who was killed by Indians; then she married Ephriam Hatfield and became the relative of all the Notorious Hatfields. It is said that Ephriam was a regular Hatfield name, andEphriam Pressley, who married Dick Colley's daugher, Margaret, was named for a Hatfield relative, his mother being a Hatfield. There were some Damrons in the party that pursued the Indians. Grandmother Colley, who was Emma Ferrell, lived where David Musick was killed. He was working in a field and when the Indian alarm was given, he ran to the house, but, instead of going inside, he crawled underthe house. Here the Indians discovered him, pulled him out, tomahawked him and scalped him. An Indian put the scalp in a belt that he wore and Mrs. Musick said that he seemed mighty proud of it for,on the trip to Haysi, he continually shook it around close to her. My father-in-law told me that one of the white men took a strip of skin out of the back of the dead Indian and wore it as a belt. Drayton Musick, who lives up on the hill, told that his grandfather, Elexious Musick, was one of the children who was captured, and he had scars on his head all his life that were made by the Indians onthe trip.

Ephraim Hatfield, born about 1765 in Virginia and died October 13, 1847 at Blackberry Creek, Pike Co. Ky., son of Joseph and Elizabeth Vance.
Married (1) Mary "Polly" Smith, born about 1767, Virginia and died in 1800 in Virginia in childbirth. Ephraim married (2) Anna "Annie" mcKinney Musick Bundy born about 1764 in Rutherford Co, NC anddied January 21, 1859 in Pike Co, Ky. Their marriage date was November 28, 1830 in Pike Co. Ky. She was the widow of David Musick. Eph and Annie had a common law marriage a number of years before 1830. Ephraim and Annie are buried kin the Anderson hatfield Memorial Cemetery at Blackberry Creek, Pike Co, Ky.

A member of the posse that overtook the Indian raiders and brought back Mrs. Musick and her children to Russell Co. was a brawny and sinewy widower, named Ephraim Hatfield. He, about 28 years of age,lived on Thompson Creek, not far from the David Musick home. Widower Ephraim and widow, Annie (McKinney) Musick, had mourned or would yet mourn for the loss of their spouses, but each had apparently seen in the other a person whom they liked very much. Nonetheless, Ephraim, as did most of the pioneers of that age, traveled and explored SW VA and eastern KY, looking for good land to buy on which tobuild a new home. Ephraim's trips to the Pond and Blackberry Creek areas of Pike Co., KY, resulted in his decision to move to Blackberry Creek. In 1795, most likely before the move, he and Annie Musick were married. They moved subsequently through the valleys and acreoss the mountains to Blackberry Creek in Pike Co., KY. Here they built a home, where they lived until their deaths. - The Musick Book by Egbert S. Musick, 1978.

called "Eaf of us all" because he moved to Logan Co. , Va. from the eastern part of Va. to establish a home and raise the first Hatfield family in that area.

About the same time, Ephraim Hatfield, nephew of the Revolutionary War soldier, first appeared in Russell County, Virginia. He became the founder of the Hatfields of West Virginia and Kentucky. He married Mary Goff, who died about 1790. About five years later he married Anne McKinney Musick, the widow of David Musick who was murdered by the Shawnee Indians near present Honaker, Virginia, in Russell County in August 1792. Ephraim's wife Anne died early in 1855 and was buried on Blackberry Creek, Pike County, Kentucky. Upon his death on June 16, 1855, Ephriam was buried beside her.

Ich folge hier diesem Ephraim Hatfield nicht weiter, da er nicht in der direkten Vorfahrenlinie ist.
Auf Ancestry.com habe ich viele Hinweise auf Dokumente gefunden zu ihm und seiner Familie, die sich jedoch teilweise wiedersprechen. Unterschiedliche Geburts- und Sterbeorte bei nahezu gleichen Geburtsjahren. Auch das es verschiedene Sterbedaten gibt ist ein Hinweis darauf, das hier zwei Familien verschischt wurden.
Zwar scheint sein Vater der gleiche zu sein, aber er hat bei den Funden unterschiedliche Angaben zur Mutter. Der erste lange englische Kommentar scheint seine Lebensgeschichte am besten zu kennen. Danach ist Rachel Smith NICHT seine Mutter, sondern Elizabeth Deliz Vance, die wohl im Kindbett starb. Sein Vater heiratete später noch einmal. Der Gatte von Rachel Smith heißt ebenfalls Joseph Hatfield, aber mit anderem Sterbedatum und Ort, jedoch in der Nähe. Rachel ist auch 18 Jahre jünger als Elizabeth Vance. Da Rachel 1753 geboren sein soll, kann sie gar nicht 1765 Ephraims Mutter geworden sein! Sie wäre erst 12 Jahre alt gewesen.
Ephraims Mutter Elizabeth Delice war zuerst mit einem Jungen Mann, Alexander Smith, verheiratet, welcher von Indianern kurz nach der Hochzeit getötet wurde. Viele Ancestrybäume kennen nicht mal dessenVornamen, und wissen nur, daß Elizabeth als Wittwe Smith den Joseph heiratete.

Ephraim heiratete auch die Schwester der zweiten Frau seines Vaters, Mary Polly Smith. Demnach sind Rachel und Mary Polly die Schwestern, Rachel also seines Vaters 2. Frau?

Ephraim und sein Bruder Valentine haben nichts direkt mit den Vorfahren der Propes zu tun. Beider Halbbruder John bildet die Linie.

Titel	Die Familien Schmiers und ihre Verwandten
Beschreibung	um 2009 veröffentlichte ich die erste Version meines Vorfahrenbaumes in GEDBAS. Heute 2014 kann man diese als überholt bezeichen und ersetzen durch die neue Version von 2014. Diese Datenbank enthällt möglichst alle Vorkommen von Schmiers weltweit in zwei großen Familiensträngen, die beide aus Westfalen stammen. Zusätzlich, wenn alles klappte, auch einige Streufunde, die noch nicht zugeordnet werden konnten. Mein Zweig stammt aus dem Kreis Steinfurt, ist in Westfalen ausgestorben und lebt als "sächsischer Zweig" weiter. Der andere große Strang stammt aus der Umgebung Cappenberg und hat zahlreiche Nachkommen in USA und Deutschland. In den vergangenen Jahren ist meine Forschung deutlich vorangeschritten. Beim Export hakte ich an "lebende Personen ausschließen". Hoffentlich vergaß ich bei keiner Person mit unbekanntem Todesdatum das Häkchen bei 'verstorben' zu setzen... Ich würde mich über Fragen zu diesen Familienbäumen freuen.
