    1. [AL-MOBILEBAY-L] Hatfield
    2. Would anyone be familiar with Mary Elizabeth or Thomas H Hatfield who lived in the Whistler area in the early to mid-1900's? Thomas was born in 1880 to Mary Elizabeth Therrell and William H Hatfield, never married as far as I know, and died around 1948; he was buried beside his Mary Elizabeth Hatfield in the Whistler Cemetery. Although her tombstone is still there, Mobile County Board of Health records state that she was transferred to Magnolia Cemetery on 18 Nov 1937. This would have been BEFORE Thomas died! Question #1: Why was she transferred, if she was indeed? Question #2: Wouldn't her tombstone have been moved with her? In 1910, Mary Elizabeth and Thomas were living with Mary E's brother, Zachariah Taylor Therrell, in Whistler. Mary died at his residence 2 years later. Mary Elizabeth's other known children were Annie Rebecca Hatfield (Lawshe), Mary Ellen Hatfield (Williams), and Samuel Hatfield (lived in TN). In 1920, Thomas was living with one of the Lawshes. Family rumor says that he was living in a room at the back of a store, that the store burned, and Thomas died in the fire. If anyone has any knowledge of this family, I'd love to communicate with them. Earlene Lyle
