Johnse Hatfield and Roseanna McCoy: The Mountain Romeo and Juliet 

@@anthonyfields420 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was a great mini series! All the great actors did a great job, so much so I had to buy the DVD set, an I watch it yearly! My Dad's BFF was a McCoy, I favored the Hatfields.

It was very good. I've watched it several times but to the best of my knowledge its not all that historically accurate.

@@phillipcollins1658 It’s a mini series 🤦‍♀️

Fantastic miniseries too bad you got to now pay to watch season 1

Glad you enjoyed it

That's the closest to the truth as far as we know of That I've heard

Thanks so much!

​@@pikevillehistorymoments7860 Johnse Hatfield was pardoned after saving a prison guard / warder's life

Me too, love my 3 DVD set! I watch it a few times a year.

I don’t agree about Johnsy having the best sense of life. He went to marry five times. It only showcases that he was indeed the cad they say he was. Roseanne was clearly more of a hillbilly than Johnsy and this would have been her first foray into romance where she would have thought that they would be married. She came from a more Godly and righteous family but also a more reclusive family. The Hatfields were business people and more cut throat in their leanings. I actually understand Randall and his hanging onto grievances after all he was the one who lost his children, Anse lost none of his. McCoy kept his oath to stay on in the war while Hatfield was a traitor and a deserter. Feelings ran high during the war and for the South, after the war. They still do if truth be told. McCoy probably did have his pig stolen as well. So the McCoys lived in misery while the Hatfields having taken the low road with desertion only prospered. I think I would feel genuine hatred in those times towards the Hatfields as well. Then the very worst to have your house burnt down and children murdered while your wife received a fractured skull when she went to her daughter that had been murdered might just take the blessed cake for me if I were Randall. He was also taken as a POW and those camps that held the Southerners were notorious for the dreadful atrocities they did with their prisoners. A Southerner would never tell his tales of that though. To repeat though, while Randall kept his oath and suffered atrocities of war, Anse deserted and prospered and his family went on to kill many McCoys. Johnsy was nothing but a weak bastard that put more poison onto the family and with an innocent daughter of Randall’s who should have known better than to go against her own. While the Irish probably did it best over the years of hatred between the Catholics and protestants, how tell me, could i5 have been any different? If the other side killed one of mine then there could be no forgiveness. Which is the reason it went on so long.

Johnse was made to seem like a good guy, based on what I understand.. He was unfaithful, chose to let Roseanna and their unborn child walk away.. He married her cousin.. That doesn’t really seem like a very good guy to me.. Ellison, at least based on the mini series was the most level headed person in the two families

@@tracyanne8616 They stabbed Anderson Hatfields brother around 28 times and shot him in the back . Like a pack of Heinas ! It wasn't all poor old McCoy's ! Pretty offensive who you support . If you'd seen some of the horrors of the Civil War then you too might of just walked away ! Don't judge unless you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes.

I am both a McCoy and Hatfield. I only finding this out a year ago. My father was from Kentucky My mother from Western NC. Dad passed when I was 2. I finally found some cousins in Kentucky. The McHenrys. My Dad was James Edward Hughes. My grandma was Cordila McHenry Hughes. My mother never took me back to Kentucky. But I was lucky enough to go spend time with my family. I have learned so much from them. Thank you for doing these videos. It helps me more than you could ever know. My mother's people in Western NC did not welcome me with open arm's. But my Kentucky people did.

Glad you enjoy it!

We're so glad you enjoyed it.

Amen!! Well said

The right woman can take a man away from his true love. Sometimes lust overshadows love. I know because it happened to a man I know.

Funny

😂

LoL 😂

He at least seems to have aggressively held onto this grudge. There are some historians that believe he likely suffered from PTSD due to his imprisonment in one of the most notorious prison camps during the Civil War. If that's true, it may have affected his behavior.

@@daffodil815 Bless your heart you poor soul

@@daffodil815 so? You’re still bitter

@@daffodil815 omg, grow up! This was over 100+yrs ago.

I'm a McCoy, and I think he had issues. There's some genetic disorder that causes tumors which can lead to outrages and behavior he(And other McCoys) exhibited. It's called Von Hippel-Lindau disease. Good luck! Wish I could show you all our feud paraphernalia!

So she wasn’t the “real McCoy?

You dated an "old gal? How charming!

@@vivians9392 thanks. She was a crazy old gal. I was with her almost a year. She wanted me to slap her during sex. She really had a taste for violence. Getting slapped around was a big turn on for her. She was a good looking old gal but I had to get away from her. She got to stalking me and that was scary. She would park her car in an alley across the street and watch my house. I finally had to take out a restraining order on her. I called the cops one night when she was watching me and they took her to jail. But her being a woman they didn’t do anything to her. One thing I learned from that old gal is there are as many mean women as there are men. She had been married 4 times. I guess that should have told me something but she convinced me that it was all the men’s fault and not hers and she had picked 4 bad men. I met her in a chiropractor’s office where she worked as a receptionist.

@@JohnDavis-yz9nq One hell of a story John she was the real deal McCoy my sister

@@popscyclep8084 That saying actually comes from a black inventor, Elijah McCoy! I'm a McCoy myself, and grew up hearing that saying was attributed to my family, but it's not the case! :-P

My great aunt married a mccoy. They had a large family. On her death certificate it states her last 4 years were spent bedridden.
