Articles from the Wayne News, regarding Byron Morris Column
The article of a few weeks ago on the Old Cemetery and its removal to Dock's Creek brought responses from three readers who knew something of its history and I want to quote portions of all three.
The first letter was from Mrs. Doug Booth of Kenova and she wrote, "In answer to your question in the Wayne County News as to whether the cemetery moved from the Neal Plant area to Maple Hill Cemetery was Hatten or Fergusion Cemetery - It was the William Hatton Cemetery.
George Washington Hatten was the youngest of the 13 children of Wiley Hatten, Sr.. was the son of William Hatten. William Hatten first owned the Harrison Jarrell farm. He and his wife, Susan Flick and a number of their children, grand children, in-laws and friends were buried there. I would say that about a third of the graves in the grave yard were moved to Maple Hill. Yes, the cemetery was well over a hundred years old. During the life time of Wiley Hatten Sr. the graves were all marked with tombstones; the plat was fenced and well kept. It was desecrated during the 1940's when the control of the property had changed hands or was in a state of fluctuation.
Eight Generations of Hattens - Hattons have lived on part of the original William Hatton property. We have been here a long time. My brothers, Dale and Larry Hatten still farm for a living and still hold part of the William Hatten farm. Most of it has long since changed hands or gone over to industry. I enjoy reading "Out of the Past". I share your interest in local history.
My great grand mother, Eliza Ann Dixon Hatten had in her possession a large folded billfold which had burned in the leather, Jeremiah Dixon, the dates for the Mason-Dixon Line and a map of the Mason-Dixon line area. Her father was Meredith Dixon. I do not know what connection Jeremiah Dixon was but feel there must have been one for her to have this billfold in her possession. I am trying to determine the connection between the two. Have you any Dixon history that might clarify? The bill fold burned in the 1950's when my uncle Harry Hatten's house burned."
Another letter on the Hatten Cemetery came from Dee Ann Burdette of Route 75, Kenova and a portion of her letter is as follows; "My name is Dee Ann Burdette and I have some information on the Cemetery you mentioned in you August 4 column in the Wayne County News. The Cemetery which was moved from Neal to Docks Creek was the Hatten burial ground. The property originally belonged to my great-great-great grand father William Hatten; he owned the land long be fore Harrison Jarrell did. The Ferguson mentioned in your column was the grand father of General
N?? (not readable), whose mother was Indiana Hatton, the daughter of Wiley Hatten Sr., who was the son of William Hatten, the original owner. The cemetery was a private family cemetery but in-laws and friends were allowed to bury their dead there with permission.
The George W. Hatten mentioned was the baby brother of my great grand father William Henry Hatten.
My mother, Juanita Hatten Booth, remembers going to that cemetery as a girl with her grand mother to clean weeds off graves. It was my mother who supplied from memory the names you saw listed at Dock Creek. But she says it was a large cemetery, with many impressive monuments, but after so many years she cannot remember all of the names. There should have been more graves than there found when the cemetery was moved, but the passage of time and the fact that the cemetery was occasionally flooded cause some graves to be lost. This occasional flooding was the reason the family quit burying there and buried my great great grand parents and their descendants in the present family cemetery high on a hill on the dairy farm of my uncle Dale and Larry Hatten on the Big Sandy Road."

16 of 35 bodies were found
Copied from monument by David H. Hatten
Note by Walter Hatten:
Does any one know if there is a list of those buried there?
William Hatton Sr., was an older son of Samuel and Rosanna Queen Hatton. Scores of descendants are found across the U. S. A., and is the most numerous part of the Hatton clan in the Big Sandy River Valley. Recent discoverer in my deceased father's records indicate that his middle name was Shannon, which would explain the numerous William S. Hatton (en)'s found in the Jonah Hatton Sr. line. It's funny but his brother Philip's children married many Shannons.
