Cap William Anderson Hatfield and Wife, Photograph. Silver gelatin portrait of Capt Hatfield, as identified in negative, with his wife, Nancy Elizabeth Smith, signed in the negative by Baker, 4.25 x 6.5 in., mounted on card stock, 8 x 10 in.

Cap William Anderson Hatfield (1864-1930) was the first son of William Anderson Hatfield I, aka Devil Anse Hatfield, chief of the Hatfield Clan during the 40+ year feud with the McCoy family, which involved a series of battles that raged in both West Virginia and Kentucky. Although Cap Hatfield was viewed as a lawless murderer throughout the entire Hatfield-McCoy Feud, it has been suggested that he sought peace later in life, first by farming, then by studying to be an attorney. He also went on to serve as a deputy sheriff in Logan County, WV.
