The Roseanne Johnes IS true. Johnes actually left her later, while she was pregnant, and married her cousin Nancy McCoy.

From Wiki

The feud escalated after Roseanna McCoy began a relationship (courtship) with Johnson "Johnse" Hatfield (Devil Anse's son), leaving her family to live with the Hatfields in West Virginia. Roseanna eventually returned to the McCoys

Roseanna McCoy was the most tragic figure of the entire story.

That's good to know. I guess I can appreciate this aspect of the story a little more now that I know it wasn't just a dramatic plot-enhancement. I had a feeling Jena Malone's character was going to turn out to be a homewrecker!
