This is great! I know Hollywood exagerates a bunch, this is so wildly different than the story we were told in the mini-series. I am salivating, to read the rest of the history!
On one side they could have let the law deal with them but the chances are devil ans and the others feared they wouldn’t get true justice unless they did it themselves
Some of the guys here at the fire department were digging up some old history of the department and we came across this video and we were hoping that you could tell us where the reservoir in the video would be located hoping that we could try to find it? We would greatly appreciate it and thanks in advance!

He run to another state to hide from his warrant for the murders of the 3 boys and while on the run and not home providing for his family his 7 yr old son died of malnutrition Sad with his grandpa Devil Hatfield living near by and that's why when Cap died he was Not buried with his daddy Devil in the family cemetery
The McCoys began shooting. The fire stated from the 8lbs of black powder stored in the cabinet of the kitchen from a spark from one of their firearms. The McCoys should have just came out peacefully and negotiated a peace treaty putting an end to the feud for ever.
Lowgap and Buffalo trail. Present-day mountain parkway route 114 between sayreville and prestonburg. Lowgap at ivington makes easy travel from licking River to big Sandy. Buffalo use this Gap in migrating thus forming Buffalo Trace, Indian path. Used by dr. Thomas Walker and later Boone.
I grew up in Pikesville Ky. I'm kin to the McCoy's on my grandmothers side. I just think it is really sad what Randall went through. The man lost all most all his children. His wife was never the same. But that wasn't enough pain for this man. After everything he went through he burned to death. Devil Ans dies in his sleep. Why was Randall's life hell on earth? I know the feud was both family's fault but I believe poor Randall got the worst of it. I'm so proud to be related to him. I hope he finally found some peace.
Covid nineteen PLANdemic sir. God bless. I'm here on marrowbone Creek road in the Elkhorn area for the last 37 years. I have never seen a more beautiful and peaceful place
He was born in 1864 and died in 1882. What more research should he do? Randolph Mcoy Jr, "Bud" was 18 when he was killed. Look it up, the historical birth and death records are there.
Bud was a 15 yr old boy and not involved in the election day incident but was grabed up by the Hatfield gang, mistaken for another brother that was involved 🙄 😢
My grandfather is John Franklin phillips and my grandmother is Emma Jean Hatfield how crazy would it be to be related to both Bad Frank in the feuding Hatfields.
I went to the job core school there in pikeville it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had I love the mountains. The people were nice how many really good friends and then I moved to West Virginia, and I gotta say that is by far one of the most beautiful places that I have ever lived in my life and I’m working on trying to move back
Her given name was Sarah, but she reports from the time and from descendants indicate that she was usually called Sally. We just chose the name we thought she was most often called.
My Grand pa fault at the middle to end of ww2 and then to the end of the Korean War they don’t make men like that know more I wished I was half as strong as him.
I do not believe Anse Hatfield would give orders or even condone shooting women and girls as they were non-combatants and viewed as the weaker sex. So it must have been one of the other men who said to shoot whoever came out the door.
Jim Vance was framed after he was murdered. There were no warrants for his arrest. He was in Pike County for a court case during the time he was supposed to be hiding out with the Hatfields before the cabin raid. He would never have gone to Pike County for court if he was wanted there. Johnse was on trial for murder so he lied about it all being Jim Vance's idea to raid the cabin. So did the others who took part in the raid.
I played my part in that cut thru. My husband and I hauled tons of ice to the site to be dumped into the cement in the heat of summer so that the cement would cool as to not set up so quickly.
