I am new to your channel. But I throughly enjoyed the fact that history is being told here. Because so many people are not told of facts of how our ancestors lived and survived and pasted away. Your preserving family past in your words. Thank you.
Wonderful video Leo. It is so sad that the city or country will not keep this cemetery up. You have done some awesome research on pieces of WV history especially the Hatfield family. I have been giving some thought to the Mamie Thurman murder. Do you think that maybe she was murdered by her husband because he learned what Mamie had been doing? Thank you for this neat video.
Beautiful country. I am glad that someone is trying to keep up the city cemetery, both cemeteries actually look good. A Hatfield and a McCoy together in the same crime? I cannot picture it 😮 Thank you very much Leo and Heather, this was a very interesting video.
Hi Leo from Florida I always enjoy your guys's stories my dad was born and raised in Logan he's 77 now his temperament is about the same as some of the people you describe thanks again
I love your channel for the content but also for the areas that you go into! I am originally from Southwestern Virginia but now live in the Richmond, Virginia area and this takes me back to areas near to where I grew up.
Thank you, Heather, Leo, for another interesting story. Guys, ya'll put out an interesting and captivating channel. I hope ya'll keep doing these videos and stories for a long time. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels. I wish all channels put the effort and research that ya'll put in. That explains why your channel is groing
OMG that's wonderful news Leo and Heather!! Congratulations 👏 🎉 I'm so happy for y'all, that's my dream to go to Graceland!! I'll live vicariously through y'all for now lol
Another good story Leo and Heather. What do i do when i cant sleep....binge watch Hillbilly Files to see if there are any more Staten graves found in or around the Hatfield McCoy fued times and area. Im going to have to get on My Heritage and do some research.
I think it might be beneficial for people to understand that not all marriages, births, deaths or divorces were recorded. And as we all know, you aren't born, live or die unless the government says you do. There are many, many people who might appear in a census record that has no documentation other than that. Usually, children born out of wedlock were never recorded. And if there is some economic reason, by illness or something else, children would be parsed out among relatives to be brought up with a surname they were not born with. Adoption was not necessarily legal in those days, if a man married a woman who had children before, they would simply just take on his surname. They sometimes would be sent to work with relatives, and the census enumerator would call them by what the head of the house was, even though they might be there temporarily.
New sub here. I hope you grow quickly and start making good money. You are actually making an effort to make entertaining content. Many others lazily throw a vid together and call it "content". Keep up the superb work😊!
When you get to Nashville please be careful lower Broadway is a very dangerous place. Nashville changed after (stringbean)David Ackerman and his wife got murdered, many of the big names and country music n recording industry moved out to Branson Missouri, just not the same place it was 30 years ago,😢
Another nice video guys,....Say Leo, have you ever thought about using a machete to cut through the underbrush ? It's also handy you run into a snake or something.
Great story, I gather that if a McCoy and a Hatfield were against each other, so in course of the events, if someone was against both the Hatfield's and McCoy's, then of course they would join forces together! Both families were forces to be reckoned with! Tell next time stay true to the hillbillies!
R.I.P Lawrence Avis. Thank again guys

Love the hat! Heather is so thoughtful :)
My parents were from elkins and one was from cass west virginia. Loved spending my summers as a kid there. Ran around cheat mountain
Yep loving the history
Love your videos ❤
Thanks 😊
The McCoy’s seemed to always get the short end. Money talked even back then.
Thanks!
Thank You!
Love your hat Leo. Did I miss out why they killed Lawrence.
why did they kill the young man? thats what i want to know…
It isn’t mud lick it is mud fork
Lot of killings in Logan County west Virginia back in the day

Exactly 🤣
This Lawrence Avis was my great uncle.
Too sad 😢
I like the hat too Leo
Thanks
Are y’all gonna do a episode on the Marshall football plane crash 💥
Already have most of it filmed!
@@thehillbillyfiles hell yeah 💯👍 great minds think alike I reckon
Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley are my 8th cousin and 9th cousin
Oh how interesting!
why did they kill Lawrence ?
Did you intend to say Memphis for Elvis.
Yes, we'll be doing both places.
What is he supposed to have done ?
I just wonder if the heads of the two families approved of this being done or was this something independently done?
I don't think anyone knew it would happen, wasn't premeditated
Aren't there graves in Memphis?
We are going to Memphis in same Trip
Hello Leo
❤❤❤❤❤
As you do geneology I find you get a feeling that what is correct.
I AM A HUGHES LEO 😊
Great news! Well done = hard work does pay off. Thanks for providing the great content.
