Research of Marjorie Fischer.104
“Ann Newman, the 2nd wife of Peyton Hathcock, apparently died shortly after 1850. Peyton then married Mary Ann Hood, widow of Henry Hood. Pleasant and Clarissa Hood came to Haywood Co TN from Amelia Co VA around 1830 when both were about 52 years of age. With them were their two sons, Anthony and Henry, Anthony’s wife and his two small children. It is not known if Henry was married when he came to Tennessee or if he married Mary Ann in Tennessee. Probably the latter, as the census records indicate that Mary ann was born in Tennessee. Henry Hood died before 1850 and his widow and four daughters were living with his parents, Pleasant and Clarissa Hood, according to the 1850 census of Haywood Co TN.
“Evidence from land records indicate that the Hoods and Denton Hathcock, who came to Haywood Co before 1828, were close neighbors. Peyton Hathcock no doubt stayed with his Uncle Denton Hathcock when he first came to Haywood Co and was acquainted with the Hoods. In fact, Mary Frances Hathcock, daughter of Peyton, married Newton Alexander Hood, who was the son of Anthony and grandson of Pleasant Hood. Peyton Hathcock married the widow of Henry Hood between 1850 and 1853. There are many court references in the Guardian Settlement Books in Haywood County Court House regarding the minor heirs of Henry W. Hood and their mother Mary Ann Hood, then wife of Peyton Hathcock. The first such mention is in Book E, page 408, dated 5 Dec 1853. In Deed Book U, page 116, a record states that Peyton Hathcock married Mary Ann Hood, widow of Henry Hood, and she relinquished her dower rights. The land was sold for the benefit of the minor heirs of Henry Hood.”
The maiden name of Mary Ann Hood is assigned without hard evidence. It is based on unsourced internet genealogies.
