The Hatfields, Vances, Gibsons, Smiths & Musicks were widespread and
influential families in SW Virginia from before the Revolution (in which
all of them served, on the frontier) to c1800; in the 1790s, many members
of the Hatfield, Vance & Gibson families moved into Kentucky & Tennessee.
Ale married Milly Gibson, and followed his
father into Wayne Co, KY--the family's understanding is that Milly was a
bit too "civilized" for her husband--and Ale soon took up with Elizabeth
Young, setting her up in a cabin on Station Camp Creek. For several
years, he managed to maintain 2 households, having offspring by both
women, but Milly apparently threw him out c
1812--but refused him a divorce. Ale moved to Greene Co, IN, joining
Ale's brothers, Joseph & William, who had already made the move. Milly
followed him in 1836, gave him his divorce, and returned to live with her
son-in-law, John McCoy, in Campbell Co, TN [listed there in 1850]. Ale &
Elizabeth then formally married, giving his "second" family some
legitimacy (though such arrangements were not uncommon on the
frontier...). After Ale's death, Elizabeth lived with her son,
Washington Hatfield, until her death.
