    Happy New Year, Leo and Heather. From a big Fan in the Garden State. I knew of this incident, and believed it was the last act of bloodshed of the Feud. I can't take sides, even though three young'uns were killed here. Overall, I can't say either family "won."
    The exact date though slipped my mind until now, and ironically I was in Philadelphia, PA, with shots fired into the sky at their annual Fireworks. I must say my heart sank some to realize it. But I'm giving a moment of reflection here now, 8:40 pm Eastern, 1/2/2024, for all lost on either side. And thankful the families had that ceremonious Burying Of The Hatchet one day.
    #RESPECT!! WJ

    It's a shame that the holiday has to be marred with the anniversary of this very tragic event.
    I know this fued is a part of local as well as American history, with all that's know, there is still many holes that just have to be best guess.
    I really enjoy ya'll researching and telling these stories as best you can.
    I trust ya'll will get through the upcoming winter and can safely bring us some more interesting stories.
    You two are a terrific pair to do these stories. I hope one day to go to Morgan County , Kentucky to research my family. I would love to get in ya'lls area and meet you.
    God bless ya'll and hope ya'll stay safe on your travels to these locations.
