    I am proud to be kin to The McCoy's. My grandmother use to tell us so many stories that her father told her. I grew up in Pikesville Ky. My grandmother took us to a trail. While we were there she dug up a 2 bullits that looked so old. I never did find out if there were from the feud. But what else could it be? I never saw them bullets again. Oh but the stories she told. I swear it was like she was there. My great grandfather probably was. I'm just glad it's over. To many people died for nothing. NOTHING.

      Great question. The story that I’ve always heard was he had a relative with the same name who was a preacher. I think they called him “Good Anse” or something like that. That the other with the nickname “Devil”. Nicknames are interesting as to how they are earned.
