· NAN and CAP: Nancy Elizabeth "Nan” (1866-1942) and William Anderson "Cap" Hatfield II (1864-1930) were both at middle age by the time this photo was taken, years after the height of the feud era.

In the 1880s, Cap was considered by many as being the most volatile of feud participants. He was the second child of Devil Anse and Levicy Hatfield.

According to his son, Coleman Alderson Hatfield, Cap was suspicious and distrustful of others most of his adult life (what one might call paranoia today). He was forever concerned of being captured by lawmen or bounty hunters and hauled across the border to face murder charges in neighboring Kentucky.

Cap was amazingly proficient with a revolver, rifle, shotgun, knife, nightstick, or even with his bare knuckles. He was also crafty and intelligent.

It was Nan who eventually taught Cap how to read, which certainly revolutionized his life and worldview. From that point, Cap became a voracious reader, and even studied law. He ultimately passed the West Virginia bar exam and became a practicing attorney.

Later, Cap’s stepson, Joseph M. “Joe” Glenn, and his biological son, Coleman Alderson Hatfield, became lawyers, as well. Likewise, in due course, Coleman Alderson had a daughter (Cap's granddaughter) that passed the bar and practiced law.

Of this, Debbie Storey Bennett, a friend of the Hatfield and McCoy Feud Facebook page once posted, "That's a pretty amazing story! They were really tough people back then! I guess they had to be to survive. Maybe one day they will be able to say that about us!"

It's not possible for him to pass a WV bar . The WV bar wasn't put in place until 1947. He died in 1930 so it was impossible. There's no record of him taking a bar which technically doesn't make him a lawyer.
