A.J. Hatfield and his wife Susan lived in Mississippi. Looking for a relationship with the Native Americans.
Both were born in the 1800's in MS but I do not know where nor what their parents were. Can anyone help?

Well, since you don't give a time frame, it's hard to say, but the 1880 census lists an A.J. and Susan Hatfield in Mississippi Co., Arkansas, with children Stonewall, Jerry Lee, Maude, and May. A.J. and Susan are both listed as being born in MS.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a Native American relationship, whether you mean marriage with a Native American or just friends with a Native American family. If you mean the latter, that can be very hard to determine, but you might be able to find clues in the places they lived - whether it was probable or not.
If you mean intermarriage, and the family was alive in the early 1900s, you might want to check the Guion Miller Rolls to see if they applied for Cherokee citizenship. I posted a link below that has an index of all the people who applied. If your family is on there, you can order a copy of the application to see if it was approved or denied.
Without more information, it's hard to give you accurate assistance. Good luck!
