Hattie Stoneman

American country musician, also known as 'Mom' Stoneman, as a member of The Stoneman Family (later The Stonemans), which also included her husband, Ernest 'Pop' Stoneman and 6 of their 14 children. Born September 28, 1900 in Pipers Gap, Virginia. Died July 22, 1976 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. After her marriage to Ernest on November 10, 1918, Hattie often played fiddle in performances with him and other musicians. In 1927 and 1928, she was with him for the Bristol Sessions recordings. At both sessions, she played fiddle and sang on several sides with Ernest V. Stoneman & His Dixie Mountaineers and The Stoneman Family, along with several sides by Uncle Eck Dunford. Hattie was featured specifically on the 1927 recording of “What Will I Do, For My Money’s All Gone” (again with Dunford), and “The Spanish Merchant’s Daughter,” recorded at the 1928 Bristol Sessions by The Stoneman Family.
