Hatfi eld-McCoy Driving Tour • The Great Vendetta 2

The Great VendettaThe Great Vendetta

Of all the feuds fought in the great Appalachian mountain country,

the Hatfi eld-McCoy Feud is the most famous!

D The Families of the Feud. The families of Randolph McCoy and William Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfi eld were of strong stock and from them have come leaders of many professions - business, education, medical, political and legal. Both clans were honest, hardworking and proud. They were some of the fi rst to settle in the wilderness of Kentucky and Virginia (now West Virginia) and patented thousands of acres of land. The McCoy family members involved in the feud, and their sup-porters, hailed from the Kentucky side of the Tug River. Likewise, the Hatfi elds involved in the feud and their supporters hailed from West Virginia. Before, during and after the feud, the two families even intermarried. However, once the hostilities began, when a member of the McCoy family married into the Hatfi eld family, they were said to be “Hatfi eld” and no longer a “Real McCoy.” Clan pride and family loyalty was strong, no doubt left over from their days in the homelands of Ireland and Scotland.

D The Feud & The Civil War. TheCivil War tore the tightly woven social fabric of the communities along the border region separating the North and South. This border region changed hands multiple times during the confl ict. All courts closed and police no longer protected the citizens during the long years of the war. Neighbor fought neighbor as lawlessness and anarchy prevailed. It is during this time of turmoil that the fi rst killing in the feud

occurred. Devil Anse, a southern sympathizer, helped form a band of southern “home guard” to patrol the Tug Valley. The fi rst victim of the feud was Union veteran, Asa Harmon McCoy, younger brother of Randolph. Harmon broke his leg and was mustered out of service on December 24, 1864. He returned home and was told by James Vance, an uncle of Devil Anse, that his home guard would soon pay him a visit. Harmon hid out in a nearby cave on Blue Spring Creek. His slave, Pete, carried food and provisions

to him. The home guard, most of them West Virginians, traced Pete through the snow to the cave. There they found Harmon and shot him. His service in the Union army was considered an act of betrayal by the southern sympathizers. No suspects were brought to trial. Tensions lingered long after the war ended and many in the area refused to forgive the atrocities committed during the war.

D The Hog Trial. In1878, Randolph visited Floyd Hatfi eld, a cousin of Devil Anse. Floyd lived on the Kentucky side of the Tug River. Randolph happened to see a hog, which he said bore the McCoy marking on its ear, and accused Floyd of penning up one of his hogs. Floyd denied stealing the hog, so Randolph went to Anderson “Preacher Anse” Hatfi eld with the matter. There he brought suit against Floyd for the recovery of his hog. On the day of the trial at the home of Preacher Anse, both McCoys and Hatfi elds served as jurors. Bill Staton, brother-in-law of Ellison Hatfi eld, swore that Floyd owned the hog. Floyd won! Within months, Bill was killed by Paris and Sam McCoy as a result of a shoot out on the West Virginia side of the Tug. West Virginia Judge Valentine Hatfi eld, brother of Devil Anse, ruled that the killing was self defense.

D Forbidden Love, Roseanna

and Johnse. To mountain people, an election was a great social event. At the election of 1880, Johnse Hatfi eld, son of Devil Anse came to the Kentucky election grounds from West Virginia with romance in mind. There he met Roseanna McCoy, a daughter of Randolph. Their attraction was so strong that she went home with Johnse to the Hatfi eld cabin in West Virginia. Some months later she moved back to Kentucky but the forbidden romance continued. One night three of her brothers, acting as deputies, arrested Johnse for outstanding warrants and set out for the Pikeville jail. Believing Johnse might be killed along the way, Roseanna, in an act of family disloyalty, rode to Devil Anse’s home to inform him of what happened. Devil Anse gathered his gang and pursued them by way of a short cut, stopping the McCoys and rescuing Johnse. From that day forward Johnse never risked being with Roseanna. Hopeless and pregnant, she could not go back to her father, who considered her ride to

Devil Anse to be unforgivable. In 1881, Roseanna moves to Pikeville to care for the children of Perry and Martha Cline after her infant, Sarah Elizabeth, dies.

D Election Day Fight and the

Pawpaw Incident. On August 7, 1882, at the election grounds on Blackberry Creek, Kentucky, Tolbert McCoy, son of Randolph got into a fi ght with Ellison Hatfi eld. Two younger McCoys, Pharmer and Randolph Jr. rushed to the aid of their brother Tolbert. Randolph Jr. pulled a small pocketknife and began stabbing. Pharmer grabbed a pistol and shot Ellison in the back to prevent him from smashing Tolbert’s head in with a large rock. The McCoys ran into the woods, but were caught by Kentucky Constables (who were Hatfi elds), and placed in the custody of a Justice of the Peace, Preacher Anse. Ellison was still alive but Devil Anse organized his gang and took the McCoy brothers away from the Kentucky Hatfi eld lawmen. They were taken across the Tug River to West Virginia. Sarah McCoy rode to her sons’ captor, Devil Anse, and begged for their lives. Devil Anse replied, “I’m holding them to see if Ellison dies. If he dies or gets well, I promise to bring them back to Kentucky alive.” On August 9, 1882, news came that Ellison was dead. The three McCoy brothers were marched back across the Tug River to Kentucky. There the Hatfi eld gang bound the McCoys to pawpaw trees and fi red some fi fty shots into the brothers. Indictments were issued for Devil Anse and his gang but none were arrested.

D Perry Cline Gets Involved. In 1886, two members of theHatfi eld gang crossed over into Kentucky and severely beat Mary McCoy Daniels and her daughter Victoria Daniels. Her brother Jeff McCoy, angered by the harsh beating, rode into West Virginia seeking revenge. He was captured by the two Hatfi elds and shot in the back as he attempted to escape back across the Tug River. Kentucky State Representative Perry Cline, uncle to Mary and Jeff , petitioned for assistance from newly elected Kentucky Governor Simon Bolivar Buckner. Governor Buckner appointed a special offi cer, Frank Phillips, to arrest the murderers of the McCoys. He also off ered a large reward that unleashed an army of bounty hunters into the state of West Virginia. This angered the West Virginia Governor so much that he threatened civil war

between the two states.

D New Year’s Incident. Fearing for their lives, the Hatfi eldgang decided to leave no witnesses to convict them. They raided Randolph’s cabin on New Year’s night, 1888. During the two hour battle, several of the Hatfi elds were wounded but they killed Randolph’s crippled and unarmed daughter Alifair and his son Calvin McCoy. Randolph’s wife, Sarah, was severely beaten and the McCoy home was burned to the ground. Randolph and a few others escaped. Special offi cer Frank Phillips and other deputized supporters rode into West Virginia and captured several of the wanted men, even though they lacked properly executed extradition papers. The McCoy posse succeeded in killing two of the Hatfi eld gang and capturing nine others. In response, the Governor of West Virginia sued Kentucky for unlawful arrest of the nine prisoners and unsuccessfully appealed the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Eight of the nine men were given life sentences for the deaths of the three McCoy brothers. The ninth man, Ellison “Cotton Top” Mounts, was sentenced to death by hanging for the shooting of Alifair and Calvin McCoy. Roseanna died, some say, of a broken heart at age 30. Randolph and Sarah moved to Pikeville to get away from the Hatfi elds. They lived beside Perry in the last house on Main Street. Sarah died fi rst, before the turn of the century. Randolph died on March 28, 1914. Both he and Sarah are buried with Roseanna and other family members at Dils Cemetery in Pikeville. Devil Anse converted to Christianity and was baptized in 1914. The whole family seemed transformed from their violent ways. He lived his last eight years

in peace and died on January 6, 1921. He is buried in the Hatfi eld Cemetery at Sarah Ann, West Virginia.

D A Peaceful

Resolution.

Although the families could not seem to fi nd

a peaceful way of life together a century ago, their wounds have since healed. In the year 2000, a reunion brought both families together in an act of unity. “The Hatfi eld-McCoy Reunion Festival” was created to celebrate the peaceful resolution of the feud and the unifi cation of the families. Saturday, June 14, 2003, marked the offi cial end to the Hatfi eld and McCoy feud when the families signed a truce, in an event broadcast by The Saturday Early Show on CBS. Bo and Ron McCoy, along with Reo Hatfi eld, signed the truce and have been close friends ever since.

D Geocaching on The

Hatfi eld-McCoy Geotrail.

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting hobby enjoyed throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS enabled devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, and then share your experiences online. Pike County, Kentucky, now features one of America’s most unique geotrails! The Hatfi eld McCoy Geotrail is a fun and exciting journey through feud country. Through geocaching, explore the land where the battle between these two infamous families took place, along with where they lived. You will travel to spots historically

signifi cant to both the Hatfi eld and McCoy families and see locations important to what has to be the most famous American family feud. This geotrail is a must for seasoned geocachers, as it is quite an interesting addition to any enthusiasts’ caches. The Hatfi eld-McCoy Geotrail caches are all family friendly and not diffi cult to fi nd or approach, however, because several of the sites involve stairs or short hikes, this series is NOT wheelchair accessible. Learn more about this wonderful activity by visiting their website or calling the Pike County Tourism CVB offi ce. (800) 844-7453. www.tourpikecounty.com or www.hatfi eldmccoygeotrail.com
