I'm related to the Hatfields and proud. I heard stories from my mom about how my great grandmother wouldn't let her watch Star Trek because of Bones McCoy.
@@yourinnerlawyer4035 why do you have to be so rude? If you didn't have anything nice to say why say it at all? It wasn't a joke, but my great grandmother wasn't a dunce or a mental case for this. She associated Mccoy with something that was against her family.
How the hell do they know those bullets were fired that day, Hell back than if you were able to take a successful shit you started firing your gun. Those bullets could have been fired any number of other times. If they made a statement like, these bullets MAY HAVE BEEN fired that day, I could deal with it, But to say it with such certainty and conviction. I find it irresponsible . oh well ,
I assume it's because they were bullets found at the burn site. And in areas where someone could've easily been hiding. Etc etc. No it's not concrete proof they were fired that day. But there's A LOT of circumstantial evidence pointing to it
I am related to Hatfield and McCoy.... McCoy on fathers side and Hatfield on Mothers side .what a lot of people don't know they are all related to each other. it was a family feud . Some people in those days changed their last name to Coy and Fields. this is what you all don't know. the feud lived many years after that in a lot of old peoples hearts. I remember to old women at a barn gathering one was a Hatfield and one was a McCoy they stared at each other and I heard my grandma say they use to be friends before the feud. but now they wont even speak to each other...so sad to have that much hate for your friend or family. It all started by 2 men trying to see who was the strongest and got all these people killed! They was all related to each other.!
debora smith yes I'm so glad someone else said this. I have done my genealogy and both also. So many people don't realize that or that some continue the fued
Wrong. Mingo county here. Yes some were related but most of the familys weren't. Also changing of last names was frowned upon. All this goes back to before the war. A failed courtship. Smh. Do you know how many people say they are related to one family or another but I go through their geology and find out they aren't. Ive study this since I was 8 years old. The history channel has actually borrowed pictures off my grandmother that had both family from before the war.
They were both at fault. And their children helped perpetrate the hate. The three sons of Randall McCoy stabbing the brother of Anderson Hatfield then shooting him led to their executions. The New Years massacre of the McCoy family in their cabin was equally inexcusable. Shakespeare pointed this out so well in his plays hundreds of years ago what the price of escalating hatred would bring on those who perpetrate it.
The McCoy's lived in British colonial Maryland before moving to Kentucky. North side.. I'm related to the Mccoys. My pop told my mom, she called him a liar. He passed in 2000 and that was way before the TV series and no one ever Mentions that. You have to research to know. He knew they were from Maryland. By Antietam and Reisterstown.
Everybody talks about the hatfields and McCoy's when there is a place in clay County Kentucky called Martin's creek where a battle took place, im not sure who these people were but my family said when they were children they heard gun fire night and day for a month from what I gather around a hundred people died , I wished I knew the real truth of that battle, but over on Martin's creek hundreds of people will tell tales of that story ....most of them said it was worse than the hatfields and McCoy battle.....
The Hatfield McCoy Country Museum in Williamson, WV will be open for the 2017 season beginning May 26 with daily hours 9-5 Tuesday-Saturday ! See you soon !!!
I wouldnt boast about being a relation to ridiculous people and their ridiculous murdering feud. Pure stupidity on all counts. But hey, the apple doesnt fall far from the tree 😉👍obviously.
how pitiful, these people could have been friends. it always makes me sad, I see comments on here about "how proud' they are to be kin to the Hatfield or McCoy's. that my friends is the whole problem! pride is a sin, and it destroyed these peoples lives! and it can destroy yours,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm not related to either family but a fued of such took place down livingston parish louisiana on hog branch in the Florida parishes were I live, some of the decendents still live here they sayed the baptist preachers would ride there horse at night with a coal oil lantern tied to his saddle so he wouldn't get shot from people laywaying others
Actually it is not known what actually started it! There is the story about the hog, which in those days, was food for the winter! So it may sound trivial but it was important to the family. Remember that being a horse thief was a hanging offense in the old west.
According to a book I'm reading there was only one church there, I think Baptist (?) and it's members were the woman and old fold. The men were mostly out swapping goods in the woods. The Hatfield & McCoy feud after Kevin Costner. Really good read and dispels most of what we generally believed.
I am a direct decendant of the McCoy clan. My mother is Eacie Belma McCoy and her father is William McCoy. I was born on the border of Kentucky and Ohio in West Union county. My mother said it started over a big red hen. She also said the Hatfields beheaded her grandpa and wouldnt let them pick him up for 3 days after..My mother was a Christian woman who loved the Lord so I'm sure the McCoys only did what they had to to defend their family and land. I am proud to be a part of the McCoys as they tries to so what was right..Thankyou..
Hatfields are clearly in the wrong in just about every incident. Like the headline shouldn't be "biggest family feud" it should be "terrible Hatfield family murders and steals, McCoy family does their best to cope"
It wasn’t that clear cut, both families had their good and bad traits. This is true with most families. There is generosity, jealousy, unconditional love, regret, pride, a sense of self respect, greed, common sense etc. Furthermore, Many were related to each other through marriage. There were so many things that caused all the disagreements, especially economic stability and predators.
dude its just a bullet ..i found bullets in old bunkers up on spencer mountain here in north carolina -_- people shot target practice back then doesnt mean hatfield or mccoy shot it
Archeologist sit on their behinds waiting for you to find something so they can come in and take it away from you on top of threatening prosecution. Worthless!!!
My first reenactment units first sergeant last name is Hatfield. He was a real nice feller. That unit was the 12th Texas Infantry which scrapped agin the bluebellies in Arkansas& Louisiana. This guy l met lived near Palestine, pronounced palasteen Texas.

Your great great grandmother was either a dunce or a mental case OR your mom has a funny sense of humor.

No your not
Proud? That's an interesting stance on one of the most absurd fueds in American History.
Proud of a bunch of murderous cowards? That’s strange
Seems like everyone in the comments is related to a Hatfield or McCoy.
I'm proud to say I am....
.... Not
Was it a really a real feud over a pig?

Your right about that .
I didn't know metal detectors could detect lead bullets....sounds like more mainstream fake news.

One of the best movies I ever seen. I wonder where it was filmed.
Ernest Walden- Hatfield's& McCoy' s was filmed in Romania of all places. For the wide open scenery.

I doubt there are two old ladies still living that were friends before the feud started....they would be like a 160

So how do you feel about the movie done by the History Channel? Do You Feel It was accurate according to your family point of view?
@@Ijustinsultedyou you're*
My Grandmother and her brother were a descendent of the Hatfield loved the stories she would tell us

I have no respect for anyone ordering the killing of children!
Very interesting! I am a KY. Resident and didn't know this!
Since the beginning of time. people have been fighting and fluiding.It will never change..thats just the way it is..people never change..!!
Great mini series
Interesting that its mostly Hatfield transgressions mentioned. The McCoys did plenty too

Not finding anything on that.
So actually value happens to be whatever one will pay that's value
I'm sorry but didn't the feud start way before the killing of Harmon McCoy?
I think a lawyer played them both until he got the land he wanted...... damn lawyers!
Don’t you think it possible that someone else fired that bullet ?

Thieving isn't trivial. Starving a family is pretty wretched.
Are there any black McCoys?
are you a racist?
I am a Hatfield.
No your not
Why is family in shorthand? Or is that a typo from normal folk up yander in NY. Thats New York if you didnt know. BTW .... I Am Hatfield, I Am Legend!

Jack Thomas that's a load of shit, McCoy was a Christian and Hatfield was baptized before he died
