Devil Anse is my 4th great uncle. My line goes through his brother Valentine Hatfield. My great grandma was Named Virginia Grace Hatfield. Her dad was named Otis Hatfield.

[@paulcollins2788]

I also know his dad's name was Alexander Hatfield.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Very cool

[@rickclark4112]

Hello Cousin!!!

[@cherylschantz9893]

So nice that the younger generation is continuing to tell the old stories.

[@melissalease5476]

Jack SHOULD start a KZbin channel and Devil Anse was an engineering genius ahead of his time

[@gailweikelcorrea]

Please keep this awesome history alive....❤❤❤

[@reohatfield4060]

I am truly impressed. Jack Hatfield has been able to bring a lot of history back to life for others to see. I want to thank Judy Hatfield as the Chairman and Founder of the Hatfield and McCoy Foundation so that we all can continue to remember our history. I thank Bo and Ron McCoy for signing the Truce with me on CBS Early Show with 3.5 million people watching That signing ending the worlds most famous Feud. Jack continues to help us show the world that the family of the Hatfields and McCoys are United in our committment to our country and our freedom through Christ. We stand together against any Foe of freedom in the world. We also thank our Tony, Bob Scott, Billy Hatfield and many others for our family memory. Judy Hatfield is loved and will also be remembered forever. God bless our family and all those that believe in Freedom and Unity through Christ. Reo Hatfield

[@jarodluna4531]

Don't be. The Hatfields aren't worth remembering...

[@timlackey5996]

I definitely will be praying for that young man and his family that their business does well that's for sure.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Fascinating museum!

[@DewayneJohnson83]

I live about two hours away and plan a trip down that way later this spring. For anyone interested there's a ton of history in this area that goes far beyond the Hatfield-McCoy battlegrounds. Loretta Lynn's homestead is close, Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton shop and homestead are close(stay away from the homestead itself, Pam doesn't allow random fans in), Hatfield-McCoy trails for ATV riders, ECT

[@cynthiacarter514]

Fred, the Hatfield horse is beautiful.🏇. Thank you for the wonderful tour.

[@crystalwilliams8468]

OMG!!!!! I got to meet Mr Jack about a year or so ago I was on a bucket list trip and my wife got me a shirt from the mesum there's so much to see I urge anyone who gets the chance to to speak with him to do it I enjoyed it very much THANK U SO MUCH

[@GradeBmoviefan]

Fantastic and amazing! I have always realized that the feud was not about the pig…but I had no idea about the real story being about so much more! Thank you so much for this tour. I pray that someday I can visit! ~Sharon from Florida

[@annette4444]

I hope to vist there and the Pan Handle of Fla where my ancestors settled

[@Blindeyedog]

See, this is history I need, not embellished Hollywood stories, straight from the families. Very cool. I'm from California, born in '67, my step-dad was from a very small town in Texas, he's how I found out about this part of American History (No disrespect to that amazing mini-series, I watched it 3 times), but this is better. ❤

[@karlamandrell3954]

I love the history and the real stories of the families Hatfield's and McCoy's. Some beautiful films I have watched. Kevin Costner starring in my favorite film done recently. Oh how proud you must be to have the property back in your hands again as it should have always stayed.

[@kwslife116]

Watching the series pulled me in, this opened my eyes!! Awesome job. Great history. 👍

[@gazebonut]

I was friends with Devil Anse’s granddaughter, Hazel Thompson who lived in Columbia City, Indiana until she passed. She moved up there from Pike County, Ky.

[@karlfritch5873]

Love this video. Means a lot. History. I'm from CT. My family has been here for years. Started in Texas. There is a town fritch Texas. We are still going strong. Love History

[@michaelbedinger4121]

[@cemeterrihaynes4435]

EXTREMELY knowledgeable and entertaining. Looks like a great museum abd an awesome tour guide. Impressed!

[@Everett-eh4nn]

I know the museums open. It would be great to just keep doing videos with Jack now and then. I can't be the only one that likes that fine fella. He should be spotlighted . Keep it alive . Just pop in now and then and do a quick 15 minute video on how he is. I'm going to get down there from Connecticut. No doubt.

[@carolinejohnson845]

What an absolutely wonderful video. Thanks for putting this up for us to see. Great history lesson. Kudos to Jack Hatfield.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindawalters7001]

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

Amazing very cool video. So much history. As a history nerd all this feeds my history "addiction" Thank you for taking me somewhere I'll probably not be able to visit.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Your welcome 🤗

[@3ppatriot42]

That must be awesome to be his great grandson . I always sided with Hatfield's , devil anse's is a legend. I'd like to visit that place one these days.

[@sandywright8701]

Thankyou Hillbilly Files! Love all your videos!

[@dannychambers7653]

Was just there in that museum last summer. Well worth the stop.

[@edwardstroko4665]

[@jjcaron72]

That is one impressive museum. Display’s look very professional. Good job.

[@jlf2393]

[@edosborn9899]

My great grandmother on my mother's side was a Hatfield.I remember her telling me that she met devil Anse at a large family get together when she was a young girl.

[@donnahughes6648]

[@Everett-eh4nn]

I can't get enough of this Hatfield McCoy stuff. Unbelievable how lucky Jack is. He knows it which I I'm happy to hear. Keep rocking Jack.!!! Seem like a great guy.

[@travisbodemann7847]

I love this old history and plus being from Kentucky I could listen to the stories about Hatfield and McCoys all day long

[@davidwolff8878]

I am from PA , and have always loved the the history and life style of the southern states. The Hatfield 's & Mc Coy 's fight was one piece of History that is still remembered

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Wow I’m going to have to plan a trip out there I’m a Iowa Boy country raised but raised by a dad from your area

[@stephanieal-sabah5898]

I loved the brothel story 😂. FYI there a crab restaurant in Charleston SC that’s housed in a building that used to be a brothel😂😂😂

[@johnloy6249]

Missed out on this last November when we were visiting, wish we had stopped. Thank you Leo. We’ll see y’all next fall❤

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Next time!

[@nickbloch1288]

I love your channel my stepmom is a distant McCoy relative so I’ve always loved the dude stories. And your content is very refreshing to see we’re these people lives and died

[@yourdaywillcome5694]

I'm so glad you do these stories thank you.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you like them!

[@cherylverhelst8245]

Thanks for taking us along on this great tour Leo. I’m definitely going to see that when we come down this summer. Jack should start a KZbin channel he’s a great story teller also.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Thanks Cheryl

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video. Cool museum. Neat artifacts and I am glad you showed us the light poles.

[@cathymcglasson6947]

Very impressive hope you do a video once he gets the new building done.

[@teresaclontz3574]

Truly amazing video. Thank you Jack for telling the story of the Hatfield and McCoy feud.

[@Everett-eh4nn]

That house was right on the road, the original homestead. Very close anyway. Sorry to comment so much. I've been watching your content for days.

[@barbarajoseph5897]

So glad your saving history for future generations!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Cool, my dad was named after Robert E. Lee also!

[@103select]

We were blessed to visit the museum and the cemetery in March of 2022 while riding the trails in and around there. Everyone was so nice and gracious to us and it was an honor to meet them all.

[@suzybailey-koubti8342]

Coming to Omar and I’ll drive up to see how y’all are doing. Old Pioneer Motel/Bar and Lord only knows what else! I’m the daughter of James and Nadine Bailey from Omar. Mommy worked at the Omar Company store from 1948-1977 when the company closed it down Leo, Jack probably know about Horsepen Mountain not too far up the road there. The Indians lodged there horses down at the bottom of of the mountain. Been in every mountain up there since I was a young girl in the 1960’s. We learned to hunt up there and at Pine Creek (Omar area).

[@lisalarosa4546]

This was a great vlog. Thank you.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rema_1729]

So cool! Now I am yearning to go to west virginia!

[@Skunkape74]

Really enjoyed this video just like all the others...Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@randomlyweirdjeff4638]

I have been working on my family tree and I discovered I am connected to Ephraim Hatfield through his wife Anna Mckinney. On my dad's side of the family.

[@edwardstroko4665]

I want to visit this place!!!😎🇺🇸🙏

[@lorieburk6418]

LOVE ❤ THE MUSEUM IT'S AWESOME N FULL OF HISTORY EDUCATIONAL

[@billrothrock6477]

Awesome video by the hillbilly files. Thank you!

[@stephanieklemetsrud6781]

That was soooo interesting! I love history and preservation. I was surprised that house was so close to the road, I thought the house ( original one) would have been farther back from the road. I am 1/2 Native from a tribe in BC, and per ancestry story, my paternal side were settlers in West Virginia. Irish or Scottish, I can’t find much on that side of the family though. The name Campbell shows up a lot though. Not sure.

[@BlackWidow4899]

Oh, I would Love that cookbook!

[@BlackWidow4899]

Yup, I ordered it! 😉

[@jefflewis5546]

Fantastic. Keep the history alive. Thanks for the vlog

[@thehillbillyfiles]

[@riffle8883]

[@danilaird]

Very nice channel! I love West Virginia. I was there once in my lifetime so far and always wanted to come back, maybe even live there. It was the most beautiful state I have ever visited.

[@lindahunter8024]

Very interesting, love to visit, years back have come up bit would love to come back

[@patricatfurever4051]

So cool! My grandmother from Point Pleasant WV was a ‘Halfhill’…always wondered if this was a play on names to avoid any repercussions from that fued 🤔

[@seabee73]

I'm glad I found your channel. Very interesting content. I'll have to check out the museum next time I'm up there.

[@tiekawaterman5547]

Thank you for showing this I live in iowa and have had an interest for the story of the fued since I heard about as a child and always wanted to come and see both places but with four young children could never save the money to come see it so this as close as I can get now that the kids are all grown and my husband and I are retired with health problems we still are unable to come see so your videos are as close to ever coming to see and I can get the true story of what and why it all happened thank you so much

[@daneen0311]

Fascinating!! Thank you!

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ragnartvedt5991]

WOW I love this video. 100% enjoyed. Thank You

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tonireimer3839]

My grandfather I believe was a relative of Devil Anse, at least this is what I was told by my father. I know one of Devil Anse's grandchildren was visiting my grandfather and my dad met him

[@cladqueen8054]

Wonderful and amazing!!

[@nkley1]

Just subscribed. This is wonderful. So informative. I am related to Robert E. Lee (distantly), so found I this informative about the relation to Lee. I love how the water rushing along the moat sounds. Beautiful area; now a peaceful place to visit about such a historical feud. Thanks for this.

[@findingmywaybacktome9312]

My ex boyfriend claimed to be a descendant of Robert E. Lee, as well. His last name is Lee. I've been told that I'm somehow related to Stonewall Jackson, but I don't know how much truth there is to it.

[@dmac7403]

Y'all got a new sub , I'll definitely get you a few more once I tell my friends about this channel...I'm going to have to come down to the shop maybe this summer.

[@robtholt4351]

Love your channel this was a great video !

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Thank you so much!!

[@LordUSABless]

Thanks, I really enjoyed your video 😊

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

absolutely fantastic video!! The gentleman in the dark jacket should give lectures around the country about the Hatfields and the McCoys - very very interesting!

[@markhuff8541]

I love very much to hear and learn about and here about history

[@mistysouders7823]

Decades ago while me.and my second husband was stationed in CT with the Navy we ran across a Hatfield who was in the military. I never a chance to.ask if he was related. And when I say Decades I means Decades our son was 2 he's now 24. I just thought it was supper cool at the time

[@Everett-eh4nn]

Jack could sell just himself doing selfies with folks. To say u met devil ance's great-grandson to me would be close to meeting Anse himself. 10 bucks put it in a kitty towards the nonprofit. Would love to meet you as well Leo. Southern folk are 😎 awesome.

[@timothydurochia695]

Awesome video!! They just keep getting better , I can't get enough of the fued history, and you bring us up close on these historic sites . Would you recommend any books that would be helpful on the feud? Thanks for the great videos.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

Glad you like them!
