| Anecdotes | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| There was a story that was told about a man plowing corn in Arkansas. Someone shot him [and] later a Hathcoat married the man's wife. I was told this by my father and uncles but they did not know who the Hathcoat was or when it happened. I just wrote it down. All families have stories like this. Years later, Christeen Hathcoat Moore was in Lawrence County, Arkansas. talking to her Uncle, Wesley Hathcoat, born 1878, son of John Wesley Hathcoat. He told her that late one night a brother or cousin of John Wesley Hathcoat came wanting money to leave on. That he had killed a man named John Burr. I wrote this down and put it away. This last year I was doing research in Lawrence County [and] I found this info. There was a man named John Burr shot and killed just down the road from where John Wesley lived and they never found his killer. Someone wrote to me wanting information on the Hathcoats and his mother was a Ratliff. I asked him to ask his mother about this [and] she told him her father or mother told her a great uncle had killed a man and ran off to California. [She] did not know his name. I can find no record of Andrew J. Hathcoat after 1900. Maybe this was him and he changed his name. (W. Gene Hathcoat, Dec 2001) 101 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
