Thank you for your service.

Haha he is a happy soul

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

@@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. I found it interesting and thought maybe it might help the search. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q92KeK6Z3s2RYJ8.html

Amen

🤣Thanks so much! and thanks for the superchat, so nice! Merry Christmas, we are going back soon to fix Asas cemetery

Historic records claim his wife Martha is buried at board tree in Pike,KY. I have some great pictures of them if you want a copy

In MyHeritage Family Trees Martha "patsy" McCoy (born Cline) 1828 - 1907 Birth: 1828 Pike CO, KY Residence: Dist No 1, Pike, Kentucky, United States 1860 Residence: Dist No 1, Pike, Kentucky, United States 1860 Residence: Kentucky, United States 1870 Death: Nov 4 1907 Pike County, Kentucky, United States Burial: 1907 Board Tree, Pike, Kentucky, United States of America

@@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 also descend from this family ! Descended from Martha - Anse’s elder sister …

May be private land.

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.

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.

@@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.

Some counties in KY allow jail inmates to clean abandoned graveyards...the inmates get " jail credit" for working

Thank you for the support!

@@thehillbillyfiles yall do amazing work! Thank you!

@@thehillbillyfiles hey why don't you all but a electronic weedeater or small electronic mower and help clean places like this up just an idea and would be more than happy to help it get done

I agree 💯

Please clean it up! Just a lil elbow grease, weed whacker and Tada lookin good!

Thank you so much!

Much appreciated

Thank you. We enjoy doing it.

Thank you Terry!

We are planning to try and get something done to it

Well then you and Leo are related! We plan to get permission to clean the cemetery this winter

@@thehillbillyfiles It would seem so! Glad to hear you're looking to clean it up. Thanks very much! Update video on the clean up would be interesting as well.

@@b.louise9091 we sure will 😊

Thank you so much!

we plan to go back this winter and clean it, thank you!

Thank you so much!!

Your very sweet, thanks

Same, I thought it was alive with snakes "down* there. We don't have them in Alaska.

Thank you!

There is descendants of Jim around we do meet them. His video is coming soon

They have fixed it now

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.

@@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.

@@ira1ish As a family we contacted, city, and county. I contacted the Senator, state rep, and Governor. My cousin contacted the Newspaper, and local news station. They put it on the news, and a young couple seen it, and with very little help started working on it. 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.

@@SandyD2022 Yours is a very unhappy story. It shouldn't be this way. We have wealthy people who pay lawyers to get social laws that they want, but nobody is looking out for the little guy. I know how important this is to you. I hope you can preserve this cemetery.

@@ira1ish Your right, and thank you for your kind words.

Very interesting!

Most welcome

We do document some, but when we go back to clean it soon, we will do more thank you 🙏

@@thehillbillyfiles you guys are awesome I really enjoy your true stories.

Thanks Tracey

right

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 =)

@@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 KZfaq 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. Have a great day, and happy Halloween!

I will correct that, it was the 36th, thank you for catching that!

I don't know. Most people don't even know asa is supposed to be buried there. It's in a remote place in wv. They focus on the bigger cemeteries

theres a mine wars museum in matewan and a Hatfield McCoy museum home place in sarah ann WV, above matewan, Ive been to both yes

very neat!

There's a tension still in some situations. But it's still there yes.

Who can afford a tombstone today? I hear they are very expensive

Awesome Hello! We did address the wrong infantry in a few messages, but thank you 😊

oh it is

It's at the forbidden cemetery in hardy KY. You can only visit if a McCoy and on certain dates , it's across from the McCoy well site, which you can visit

We have been there, it's in the video the man that saved the devil. I don't know the streams name. Not sure it has one, but it's there

Oh thank you all for researching that and finding that for me like I said before I live in the Hurley area if you all know where that is I've been over there several several times and I always wondered where that was but again thank you so much

Very neat!

How many of them did you meat...uhh,I mean meet?

No he's in Pikeville, we did a separate video on him which you can find

It really is! Thank you

We will go back.

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated

No. It's there somewhere, but unmarked.

Great idea!

Thanks
