    It is awesome that you and Heather are helping people find their loved ones. Sounds like someone mowing. I am still looking for the graves of ancestors. Thank you for this enlightening video.

    Great video. Thank y'all for everything y'all do to bring us these stories. That entire fued was something that should've never happened. I'm glad the later generations put an end to it. May all that were touched by the fued find the peace in death that so many missed in life. God bless y'all for all that you do and stay safe on your travels.

Im gonna move back and bring my food truck and set up on the weekends and fish the river and ride the trails during the week and live out my years.

    It's ironic that people argue over the feud trying to remember and the actual participants probably just wanted to forget it. Another good video guys

    Beautiful cemetery, looks to be well cared for. I really enjoyed seeing pictures of the deceased on headstones 🪦 Let us hope that 20-30 years from now, there will still be people who will want to learn about the feud. Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another great video. Have a great day. 😊

    I'll always say that Appalachian family cemeteries are the most beautiful and peaceful places on Earth. I remember hearing about the death of Mr. Jim McCoy when I was a child and the historical significance he held. I'm not sure if he had an active involvement since he would have been really young, but I remember being told that when he passed, the last living memory of the feud went with him. Just a couple of other observations: the Harriett McCoy stone is definitely a replacement. Probably done in the 1960s from looking at the style of it. Also, the symbol of an anchor on a headstone in a non-military or nautical setting is a symbol of hope and strength. As always, thanks for another great video! Makes me feel like I'm back home standing in the early summer sun peeking through the trees.

    I had heard something in the past about how the Hatfields and the McCoys had 'buried the hatchet' but never knew the details. That was very interesting Leo! Thank you!

    Maybe he's a "Participant" in the sense that he helped end it. Not necessarily that he was fighting in it?

    Maybe they called him a participant only because his family was so close to the fighting?
