Here are the West Virginians who would whack you over the head just for looking at them.

They lived on either side of the Tug Fork: "Devil Anse" Hatfield of West Virginia and Randolph "Ranel" McCoy of Kentucky. Two families of spirited stock locked together in a deadly private feud. Some say it began over a hog. Others say it was the romance between Johnse Hatfield and Roseanna McCoy that sparked the feud. See here for more details. http://www.blueridgecountry.com/hatmac/hatmac.html

I almost missed this post about the Hatfields and the McCoys. Lots of interesting websites out there with the fascinating story about these "colorful" families. LOL

Hiya TMan. So, you found no mistakes today? :-)
