I am seeking the parents of my ancestor, Tom Hatfield. Tom Hatfield was born in April 1904 in Garden Springs AL. From information (that may not be too reliable, unfortunately) given by a relative, his parents were Tom Hatfield (possibly born about 1877 in Rock Run AL) and Eliza Bell/Elizabeth Adabell Knight/Roberts. Lots of uncertains on her name. I believe the Eliza Bell Knight part more than anything else though.

Anyway, apparently Tom Sr. was killed/died/something happened to him after Tom Jr was conceived but before he was born. Eliza Bell remarried to George Washington Hester, but not until 1920. I don't know what she did between marriages, if indeed Tom Sr. wasn't around.

Tom was later married several times, raising a good sized family of kids between the marriages, owning his own gas station, and passing away in April 1968 in LaGrange, Troup Co., GA.

I would really like to find out what happened to Tom Jr's dad, if his name is indeed Tom Sr. Anyone who can offer any help would be greatly appreciated.
