Cache tribute to America's most recognized "Family Feud"
Devil Anse Hatfield
William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield (September 9, 1839 – January 6, 1921) was the patriarch of the Hatfield clan during the infamous Hatfield–McCoy feud which has since formed a part of American folklore. Devil Anse himself survived the feud and agreed to end the feud in 1891.
Hatfield was born in Logan, Virginia (now Logan, West Virginia), the son of Ephraim Hatfield and Nancy Vance. He ran a logging operation, which accrued much wealth for his extended family.
A southern sympathizer, Hatfield formed a Confederate guerrilla fighting unit during the American Civil War that he named "The Logan Wildcats."In 1865, he was suspected of having been involved in the murder of his rival Asa Harmon McCoy, who had fought for the Union Army and was waylaid by "The Logan Wildcats" on his return home. Hatfield had been home ill at the time of the killing, which was most likely committed at the instigation of his uncle, Jim Vance. This sparked the beginning of the notorious feud between the two families that claimed many lives on both sides.
William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield married Levisa "Levicy" Chafin (December 20, 1842 – March 15, 1929), the daughter of Nathaniel Chafin and Matilda Varney, on April 18, 1861 in Logan County, West Virginia (then Virginia). Their 13 children were as follows: Johnson "Johnse" Hatfield (1862 – 1922) William Anderson "Cap" Hatfield (1864 – 1930) Robert E. Lee "Bob" Hatfield (1866 – 1931) Nancy Arvella "Belle"/"Nannie" Hatfield Vance Mullins (1869 – 1939) Elliott Rutherford Hatfield (1872 – 1932) Mary Hatfield Hensley Simpkins Howes (1874 – 1963) Elizabeth "Betty" Hatfield Caldwell (1876 – 1962) Elias M.
