Searching for Asa Harmon McCoy's lost grave & killing site Hatfield McCoy Feud

[@bobbycline8482]

My 5th great grandfather Peter Cline, who was born in Reading, PA in 1756, great grandmother, & great uncle Jacob (Rich Jake) Cline are buried there. Peter served in the PA Berks County Militia and 12th PA Regiment during the American Revolutionary War. He fought in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine Creek, and Germantown. Considering his military service, it is troubling that he lies there in an unmarked, forgotten grave. If his remains could be identified, I would attempt to have them exhumed and reintured in a National Cemetery. Thank you for posting this video. Bobby J. Cline, Major USMC.

Thank you all so much for all you do! You truly care about history and sacrifice so much. It is truly appreciated. Unfortunately, Many Graves will be lost forever because they were not marked or barely marked due to financial reasons.

[@thehillbillyfiles]

This is true. We enjoy the journey trying to find them though. You learn a lot. Thanks for watching 😊 and supporting us

[@FluffyMatt]

@@thehillbillyfiles This is a Hatfield who has a museum in Cave City, Kentucky. If you watch the video starting at the 15:55 mark, He talks about ASA being buried on Hatfield Property and some details about the cave he was hiding at.

Very cool to know that descendants of the McCoys are helping preserve the history of events. My husband, his father,grandfather,g grandfather, gg grandfather are all direct descendants of ANCE Hatfield and even were born and grew up with all of them in Mingo West Virginia. I always wondered why my kids are so mean😂. Wishing the McCoy side a happy and blessed Christmas from the Hatfield side of history. 💕

[@thehillbillyfiles]

@@kimmy3469 I have myheritage and ancestry the video is based on this. The family story is that Asa Harmon McCoy's wife, Martha Cline, buried her husband in the Cline Cemetery, where her father, mother and grandparents were buried. Martha's parents were, Jacob "Rich Jake" Cline & Nancy Fuller. Martha's brother was Perry Anderson Cline. Martha's grandparents were Peter Cline & Elizabeth Lizzy Riffe. The Old Cline Family graves were moved when the railroad came through Delorme in the late 1800's. The graves were relocated in the present day Delorme Cemetery near the church and railroad crossing.

I’ve seen some disrespectful stuff but for a community to let a cemetery go like that is something out of a third world country. The state should step in and hold the county accountable. Especially with military buried in there. It’s not going to break a towns budget to mow the grass every two weeks .. smh

[@cynthiacarter514]

May be private land.

[@impressiveprogressive7343]

Somebody should ask the town assessors office find out who owns the land and either make them maintain it or allow volunteers to do it. Asa was my G. G. grandfather and if was in KY I'd do it myself.

[@truthryder8947]

Why should a city or town have say so over private property ? The family members of the departed should respect their loved ones and get off their lazy azz and cut the weeds. Then you have nice people that let other people be buried on their property with the intent of the persons family to maintain the upkeep and after decades the family just doesn't care.

[@impressiveprogressive7343]

@@truthryder8947 most cities and towns do have ordinances regarding property maintenance, they are "public nuisance laws", when property is let grow out of control the city can step in and send a landscaper to clean and cut then send to owner the bill along with a summons to appear in court to answer public nuisance charges.

[@michaelbedinger4121]

Thank you, for another interesting video, I subscribed. I hope you find Asia's and Martha's graves one day. You may have walked by them without knowing it. I would think, that the country has enough money to have a crew come in two, maybe three times a year, with weed trimmers, and keep those weeds down. I do not suppose that your family remembers what type of grave markers Asa and Martha had? Do you know what year the cemetery was moved, because of the railroad? One last thing, before I would clean a headstone, I would watch a video about the right way to do it on KZbin. I have watched a few of them, there is a bit of a process involved. Also, I think permission needs to be obtained from the family, if any are still living, or the cemetery management, if the cemetery has any local management, or the country. Thank you very much again, take care.

We have looked into how to wash stones and got the suggested things. We wouldnt do just anybody's, we plan to start with our own family graves in Phelps ky. Im not sure on year the cemetery was moved off hand. Thank you for the message =)

[@michaelbedinger4121]

@@thehillbillyfiles You are more than welcome. Thank you very much for getting back to me. I wish you well again with finding Asia's and Martha's graves, I really do. The only reason I brought up the subject, is something that I watched on another KZbin channel, Serenity Sue, have you heard of her? She tours cemeteries and graveyards in Ireland and the U.K. Many of the cemeteries she visits have headstones that are leaning over, bad. I asked her one day, if someone will fix them one day. She told me that to fix a headstone, one would need the family's permission, or be able to prove that there are no longer any living family members. I realize that the legalities over here may be a little different. I just subscribed to your channel, I enjoy watching your videos when I can, I believe in what you are doing. I would just hate to see someone get into trouble inadvertently, so I hope I did not offend anyone. I am now more careful about what I do around headstones myself.

It's sad to see a graveyard neglected like this. In Illinois, this is illegal for the most part. Unfortunately, we didn't start regulating cemeteries (through the office of the Comptroller) until 1970. These old gravesites are still found, and many Illinoisans have taken it upon themselves to care for the many abandoned sites, but the thought that nobody cares enough to properly maintain these sites is heartbreaking.

[@SandyD2022]

Wish Pennsylvania had that law. My Grandparents cemetery was sold to a man that didn't know it was a cemetery. The weed and fallen trees made it not safe to even get into the cemetery. Finally got the city county historian group to help clean it up. Now they do a once a year clean up. Which helps, but our family still cleans our family area.

[@ira1ish]

@@SandyD2022 Try working with your State Rep and Senator. Explain to them that the laws governing cemeteries in Illinois are administered by the State Comptroller's office. The regulations have teeth, but because the law was not passed until1970, many cemeteries in Illinois still suffer. It's worth a try. Suggest they model the regulations after what Illinois has. The regulations work.

They spent there own money and replaced fencing, trees, cleaned and even had the guy that owned the property steal the equipment that they locked up in a shed that was on the grounds. My family replaced it all and it was then visiting to do a family get together that we went to the historical society because I do genealogy. That my sister was telling about it, and they have added to there list of cemetery that they take care of. This has been a 3 year work in progress. I'm still shaking my head that anyone can buy a cemetery. Guy thought he was going to build on it. But we got taken care of, he would have to move all bodies. He bought it for 1500.00 and wanted to sell it to us for 20.000.00 Sorry still angry about this, my cousin is a KIA from Vietnam, and there are many Civil war veteran, and they are being dishonored.
