Thank you for doing this one Jack Jude is my great grandpa's brother this was the first time I got to see his grave... Thank you very much
Thank you. I'm glad you got to see it.
Great work finding this hidden cemetery. It's not lost anymore. Of course we go with you so you have someone to talk to. ❤
I grew up with the Click family! ❤
I remember Jack Jude and family growing up!
@@tst1200, I know you are not talking to me?
I love you show the grave. And then you show the picture of the person and the music that you've chosen is just wonderful. It goes well with the presentation
If there's a mountain to climb Leo will find it, I really enjoy all the history you tell about.
THE RING 💍 ON THE WOODEN CROSS IS SO SPECIAL IT'S VERY VERY LOVING ❤️ N CARING ABOUT THE FAMILY MEMBER
Good Job Leo, The Good Lord knows where they are buried even if we don't. Happy travels !
I think it would be a great tour or video, to get 4 or 5 like-minded people to go to an undocumented cemetery, divide it into sections, like a grid search, to be documented... you could have a blank form to be filled in with data from the plot markers, plus take pictures of each burial site. Y'all do such a great job in documenting and remembering these friends and family members of old. 🎉😊
It’s sad they didn’t keep records back then like they do today!! It would be awesome to know about every single person buried in those mountains!!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏
Thank you Leo for climbing around another hillside cemetery for us. And Heather for doing the background work. You both are wonderful 😊
I also don't understand the name Devil Anse also. Please tell us Leo or Heather. It wasn't dumb luck but your investigative eyes and mind!!!😂 Another vlog and I am loving it!!! Thanks. Please support this channel folks. Thanks in advance.
We are all here with you. Thank you for all you and Heather do. Bless you both.
Thank you for finding Crawley Hatfield, he is my great great uncle. We didn't know where he was buried!! Thank you so much Leo and Heather!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love Maxine’s smile. I don’t know her but she looked so happy. Awesome picture.
And a lot of head stone could tumble off the hill side from up higher. It could run higher up. Thank you for putting them on the rolls
Thank you, Leo. You are a dedicated and compassionate man.
I'M GLAD YOU REMEMBER THESE FOLK'S IN THE WAY YOU DO IT'S A BLESSING LIKE FROM YOU TO THR FAMILIES
Leo don’t feel silly about finding graves ever. I do family search and I have found lost member and dates by looking in Find a grave. I hope you send those pictures of the lost grave stones to them. You are doing Gods work. Thank you so much. I thank you for the respect you give these graves.
I found out recently, one of my relatives, John Spears had written an article in the New York Sun, 1888. Like everything else involving the fued, might be disputable. It's from an outside veiw, and for sure worth reading. All four of my blood lines surrounded the Tug river. You and Heather truly pull at my heart... Almost all of your videos, I can honestly say you are literally standing on the same soil as my family. From before the Civil War. Tennessee, Kentucky. West Virginia and Virginia. Thank you again for taking me home. My blood lines go deep even my God given name is Virginia... lol.
Leo, Sarah Ann, Crystal Block and Crystal Block Hollow, Stirrat, Barnabus, Omar were BIG mining communities back in those days.
I think, in a way, the further east you go, the more graves there are just because of the way this country was founded. I'm surprised anyone can dig a garden east of the Mississippi and not turn up a grave. This stuff is so cool. I really enjoy this channel.
Interesting cemetery. Thank you very much for explaining, that back in the day, people were not concerned about really marking their loved ones graves. They knew where they were. Today, it is a bit different. Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another interesting video. Have a great day. 😊
Thank you Leo and Heaher!!!! Think on this a moment: Maybe it was Devil Anse's spirit that led you to this hidden grave yard. With all the work y'all do finding graves, grave yards and such maybe Anse's spirit thought it was time for this one to be found and led you to it when there was no vegetation covering it up. I truly enjoyed this video.
Ty Leo and Heather for doing all you do,after searching for a while.i recently found out my great great great great grandpa Joseph Hatfield is in a unmarked grave in a cematary in Tennessee.Its disappointing and so disrespectful for him because he was in the revolutionary war
Hey from Memphis. What a serene site. I would like to think the location was chosen a quiet alternative to the other graveyard. Thank you for your work Heather and Leo. This one is a gem.
That's really sad you can't identify some of them and this episode was very touching. I would not want to be forgotten. Bless you and Heather❤❤❤
Thank you Leo for taking us here. Beautiful area and thank you for showing the graves. Awesome video.
Thanks for watching
Hey Leo, I believe you noticed those when you and I were there in November of last year. I'm glad you were able to go and check them out.
You guys do an awesome job. I love what you do. I'm into genealogy and your efforts should be appreciated.
❤❤❤its in our blood to carry on and history it tells of things ppl thank you Leo and Heather god bless y'all ❤❤❤
Good job Leo I love that area wanna move down there so bad I’m all the way at the tip top of WV can’t go any further north or ur in oh or pa and absolutely nothing interesting happened up here they built power plants or steel mills at the Indian camp locations so can’t go root around there but your on a roll brother keep up the epic journey your on and thank you for all you do
Just missed the video, I guess about an hour. Awesome finds and looks like a great day ❤
Thank you for doing this. I love it. Many of the old families are dying out and records get lost. Your efforts are appreciated.
Your voice reminds me of my step-dad. He was born and raised in Huntington, his dad was a coal miner.
It's wonderful to think about all the people and stories that you show so much effort to help remember.
.thank you Leo
This was a wonderful video!!! I have to tell you two, I so envy what you do. Health issues make it hard for me just to walk the length of my hallway. So, eat hing this videos in that incredibly beautiful state you are in, well it's just awesome. I don't have the right words to tell you what I want to say.
And Heather, I loved how you typed on screen that the lady whose grave you added to Find a Grave. And you typed that she didn't have a listing on find a grave "until now". Heather you are just too cool!
Please, please Heather and Leo, keep on doing what you do. It's so wonderful how you find these lost graves. Who knows, someone may know.that name and find the family member who is missing from their genealogy.
Thank you so much for what you do so much.
Thank you, Leo and Heather ❤️ precious memories for me.
Very good video, guys. It is a shame that all the folks that are buried without any markers. But like you said, when you died you were usually buried close by and pretty quick. If any marker, just a field stone put in on edge. Probably where headstones that we have today came from. Someone decided that they would make a more permanent way of marking a grave.
Great job on this one with what you had to work with. I know it's frustrating, wanting to find something and can't. It is appreciated by those of us that follow ya'll.
God bless ya'll for all that you do. Stay safe out there on the trail.
Awesome video I just love what you two do
U and Heather are the best!!!!! When I was there in 2017 I never knew about this section and it was nice out!! lol I don’t see it!!😎💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Should carry a little wire brunch or something to clean the grave markers to try to read them.
Bless you Leo and Heather for all the hard work and labor you put into investigating the pioneering history of your ancestors 🏆🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Leo, tell Heather I grew up with the Funk family from Sarah Ann and am friends with Patti Funk to this day.
You're a pioneer, Leo!
Like the song Leo one more valley one more hill
Leo the " Mountain Man ". I'll bet you feel right at home on the mountain. Thank you
Great job @Leo !! Stay blessed brother
I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your content. My paternal grandmother's mother was Flemontine (aka Flammon) Hatfield over in the Norris, TN area. She married a Ridenour. Grandma said the Hatfields in the feud were cousins. I still haven't sorted them out but I will eventually.
You really are the best of us, Leo
Excellent, l look forward to every new video!!! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was an exciting video Leo. Truly enjoyed your visit to the Hidden section of Hatfield Cemetery, Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Leo great job. Thanks Heather.
I knew Stanford Luh and family very well and still friends with their son and daughter-in-law
I know all the Hi Staten family and they were devastated when their mommy passed. Friends with their daughter, Sue.
A cemetery with this many people had to have had a name considering there are some buried there up into the late 1990's. How cool it would be if you could find out the name of it. If so, maybe you can obtain records of who's buried there. Please update us if you do. Thanks Leo.
AS A KID GROWING UP I WATCHED THE HATFIELD'S N MCCOY'S N OLD WALYER BRENNAN PLAYED IN THM
Sidestep adventures, this is interesting maybe you guys could explore this one
God bless you in the research and making sure they are not forgotten. Stay safe out on your journeys
Thank y’all for doing this
Thank you and Heather for all you do and the research 😊
Hello Leo and Heather
I don’t think it was “dumb luck”…. I think that you were called to them.
Blessings ❤

Anotherr great video thanks for taking the time to documented for history
The graves must be shallow . There seems to be lots of rock on these hillsides . I also noticed some graves have a mound of dirt as if to cover them well .
BEAUTIFUL ❤️ STATUE 🗿🗽 IT'S REALLY UNIQUE N THE HISTORY IS AWESOME
Bah bah bah 🐐🤷♀️❤️ also is it possible for you and Digger Dan to metal detect? Would something ping from the caskets? Possibly a rectangle or square shape?
Thank you for doing what you do..
I got to visit my family buried on a hill top in KY & I asked someone why in the world would they bury people on hillsides & hill tops and it was told to me that the flat bottom ground was for farmers and the flats were to important and the hillsides were no good for anything
I think it is because there are hills everywhere. Water wouldn't wash the graves open on a hill, also.
Thank You so much for the videos
Oh, good! Another video!😅
❤😊❤ Thank you Leo !
Great job Leo I enjoy your videos
I appreciate that
Sad that they couldn't have proper headstones. Hard to believe someone dying in the 90s has a rock for a marker.Very sad. That poor guy that died in 2007,Brian, really hit me fir some reason. What a lonely little marker. In the middle of nowhere. You think they'd find a flat spot for some of these people. Buried on a damn downslope.
Very sad these older graves will be lost to time 😞
Eine schöne Geschichte 👍leider kann ich kein Englisch
Bin 76 j und in Ostdeutschland aufgewachsen und hatte nur Russisch in der Schule
Greetings from Brandenburg 🇩🇪💙🍺
Hallo Danke für Ihr Interesse
@@thehillbillyfiles Habe euch ein Abo gegeben ❤️👍
I LOVE ❤ OLD HISTORY I LOVE ❤ HISTORY PERIOD I'M OLD FASHIONED PERSON N BELIEVE IN THE OLD WAYS
The ones i hate is when you know the person name and you start trying to find them and your told ou there was a fire and we don't have their records. I have a great grandmother i can take you to her grave but the cemetery says they don't have that record because of a fire
I love your videos ❤
Leo some of these unmarked or poorly marked graves I would guess are not coffins on those steep hill sites but rather pine boxes or maybe just a blanket around the body?
Very possible.
Thanks!
Thank you Suzy. You have helped us out a lot, and we want you to know how much we appreciate you. Thank you for being there for us!
IT'S SUCH A REMOTE HIDDEN AREA BUT IT'S SAD 😭 THESE LIVES WERE TAKEN SO SOON
Hello Leo and Heather
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ❤️ ANGEL 😇
That one grave near the end with the design look like a bird
Can you guys post a link to the awesome background music you pick? I love it!
It's mostly UA-cam royalty free music.
I just wanted to find out who it was so I could listen to it some more and the entire song.
I didn't know people got typhoid fever in the 1970's.
they should clean up the old cematerys even if there no longer being used
Some family descendants buried amongst the Hatfields.
As you have mentioned previously many times , how did the families get up these hills and moumtains to bury the dead?
They used oxen, horses, ropes, and sometimes just more manpower.
They did it at a time that they didn't know any other way. It was done that way all someone's life, so that was the way they did it. All the " flatlands " what little there was were used for agriculture, and even most of that was on the side of a hill.
I believe his name was Anderson Hatfield, and they started calling him devil Anse later in life.
Yes. William Anderson Hatfield. There are 3 stories about how he got the name. We may do a story on it some day. :-)
I thought Randall started calling him that in the civil war.
I wonder if that was the old path Anse used to ride Fred to his sons graves.
You know what? I wonder how in those days did they get the casket up there and everything required to bury these people? I'm assuming they used mules or horses to go up those mountains. There's no way that people could carry all that up there. Anybody have any insight on that? Most of the graveyards i've seen where I live are on flat ground. It mystifies me.
Yes. Mules, oxen, horses, ropes, and old fashioned man power.
The Williams there are interesting. My maiden name is Williams and there's Williams coming in two ways
Oh yeah when you start it does go down a rabbit hole
My question is, could a man go through there like you’re doing and carry a battery operated leaf blower with that helping in trying to locate the graves
Good idea, but I would be afraid of blowing the little aluminum ones away.
LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY THT VEGATABLE OIL ON A THORN FROM THORN BUSH WOULD TAKE IT OUT IT'S AN OLD TIME REMEDY I BELIEVE IN OLD TIME REMEDIES BETTER THN TODAY'S MEDICINE AND THY WORK TOO N I'M 65 YRS OLD NVR OLD TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW
There graves off to the right of Anse ,,,its all brushy over there
Some pf the graves said "Hatfield", but are any/all the other people connected to the Hatfield family?
Yes.
That workman is my relation on my moms side
Is Heather doing alright i miss seeing her in the videos
She's doing fine. She does all the editing. She says hi, btw. :-)
Tell i said hi too. Hi Leo your videos are very interesting.
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Another thing I thought of how do you get permission to bury your love one on that mountain or how does that work? I don't know how it's done in west virginia in the rural areas that you're in, does anyone know?
Family plots. You have to be related, or allowed by the cemetery owner, like an in law.
