The "PegLeg" COULD HAVE BEEN Uel Hatmaker (page 546 in Part II, Shadows Over Us - www.hatmaker.org).He was the son of James Madison Hatmaker and Mary E. Isley Hatmaker.James Madison was the son of William "Billy Tank" Hatmaker, making him first cousin once removed to Mary Elizabeth Hatmaker (daughter of Aaron Thomas SR Hatmaker and Malinda Jane Miller).Uel is noted in 1917 as having abnormal legs (could be polio?) and this is probably why he was referred to as "PegLeg."If any of this information rings a bell, Jerry Hatmaker is the one that clued me in on the possibility of the connection.Would enjoying seeing any photos of the older family links that you may have!Do you have any and if so, would you please scan and send them to me?
