I appreciate you sharing our history again with us. Wish you could of had more time to show more was so interesting. Would love to see the McCoy cemetery next. Stay safe and thanks again.
I spotted the headstone of an MD Hatfield, b. 1897. I wonder if that’s the one my grandmother, b. 1890, was friends with? She used to say she was friends with Dr. Hatfield when the whole Hatfield v McCoy thing came up. So I guess you could say I carry living memory of the feud. She would never say more. It made me wonder what she witnessed. I was born and raised in Kanawha City, along the tracks. We kids used to walk up the holler all the time. It must have been a natural gas well we saw up there. The kind with the old fashioned back and forth, up and down action. Anyhow it really spooked us five year olds. Hahaha. Good times. Nowhere else on earth looks like the West Virginia hills. 💗
The freat singer Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers is from this family. His voice was unique and pure which figures with people from this region.
How in the world were they able to get grave stones to this cemetery in those surroundings, let alone that statue? So glad this piece of history is still around.
I would have liked this video a lot better if that other tourist hadn’t followed Davis around putting in his two cents worth of story (rumor) gab,gab,gab! The feud didn’t start over a hog, it started when a confederate militia group, the Logan county Wildcats, led by Devil Anse’s uncle Jim Vance, ambushed and shot & killed Randall McCoy’s brother, union soldier Asa McCoy. The hog affair came a little later.
traveled too there and all of the other sites in may of 2021, i believe after looking at tons of google images, i believe the home that ANSE HATFIELD had built after the feud was right across the bridge below where the cemetery is. could be wrong but the bridge is exact as in an picture of the house on google images, if i am wrong please let me know. i wish they had a marking stating that so we would have known a little more at the time.
@@jamestabor7725 thank you JAMES, it is certainly a possibility, too me it would be awesome to be able to walk the lands along MATE CREEK and thacker creek where some of the houses were that belonged to the families,
I was talking to my dad who is 79 and grew up a few miles from the Hatfield graveyard. He said that their house was down the road a couple of miles headed toward Logan . There's a stone house on the property that's there now. The original house has been gone for along time now.
@@jamestabor7725 thank you for finding that out JAMES, bless your father for letting us know, there is a little bit of history that we xan both pass on too others as well, thank you again
@@townesv.9424 I haven't been home in a few years but the stone house house he is talking about is also across the creek. All those bridges crossing up through that area look the same. I'm sure if you go on Google maps and follow Rt 44 down towards Logan you can spot the stone house and bridge. Glad I can help.
Hey Davis Mahavis, while you are in WV come on over the mountains to VA and come take an old 81 year old woman with you to the old confederate cemeteries we have here.
Do you mind helping me trace my grandmother...her name is Ursa Mae (Hatfield) Worthy....dob 07/15/1908...her father Robert Lee Hatfield...his father George...we think
@@edyiestallings4347 I suggest doing an ancestry DNA. I’m related to Hatfield’s by Vance side. Devil Anse is my cousin so many years back. I can ask around some of the family about your family member.
@@edyiestallings4347 your grandmother and I probably share a grandfather. Abner Vance. He was the Hatfield’s grandfather and Vance. Get your ancestry dna kit and it will help you.
I'm a Hatfield great uncle anse I got documents on how the druid started if I'd give the museum or any one on how the fued and other things happened I kid u not history will be changed but il die before I give this diary and documents up
At the 47 second mark I admitted I didn’t know all that much about it.. learned a lot that day and came home and read more on it .. I think its ok to go out and experience things first and learn in person too.
one of the worst videos, he was to busy speaking to someone and wasn't in concern of what he was doing, missed headstones, hearing his comments with that person, damn dude if you are going to give a video, do it right
Wish you could have made the video with a little more respect and not all the goober talk and laughing in the background. This was a true story, needs a little more respect than the constant yeah, yeah yeah. Not watch, sorry. Educate yourself on the whole story.
@Joy Brickman there was nothing disrespectful in this video. You’re a moron for making such a comment. If you’re such an expert on the Hatfield and McCoy feud go make your own video.
@@joybrickman8552 well you got my opinion didn’t you? Congrats for being a know it all about the Hatfields. Like I said go make your own video instead of blasting someone else’s video they made. I bet your a blast at parties...loser.
@@TimSnead223 I wasn't blasting his video, dearie, just thought he could have showed a little more respect to an American tragedy. Go find find someone else to grumble to. You are boring me.
