Owned and Operated by original Hatfield and McCoy descendants

For the person who has everything, you can now own the World's largest collection of Hatfield and McCoy memorabilia!

FOR SALE

I have been collecting Hatfield and McCoy memorabilia/artifacts since I was a child. Over the years as older family members have gone on and have left various items to me. My wife and I have been married over 35 years, like me Shelia is also a collector of history and together we own the Worlds’ Largest Collection of Hatfield and McCoy artifacts and memorabilia.

 I was medically retired in 2020  after serving over 40 years as a Police Officer/Chief from an injury while making an arrest in 2018. Shelia will be retiring soon, our goal has always been to open a Hatfield and McCoy Museum in Gatlinburg, Tn.   We operated a Museum in Renfro Valley, Kentucky for awhile prior to Covid 19 but now due to my injury/disability and with the Covid 19 pandemic we just don’t see us being able to reach our goal on our own. So, If you would like owning a one of a kind collection from descendants of the Hatfield and McCoy families, we have it!  We would also be interested in going in partners with the Hatfield and McCoy Museum in Gatlinburg, Tn. with the right person/people.

We won’t go over every item, but as a teaser included in our collection is the Devil Anse Hatfield bed that was featured on the History Channel’s “American Pickers”  and the gun that was owned by Asa Harmon McCoy’s son Jacob, one of the guns that killed Crazy Jim Vance, with sworn written documentation to confirm.  Would rather sell collection togather but would split up for the right price. 

Fred is the son of Bobby and Cora McCoy

the Grandson of Phillip and Ella Jane McCoy

the Great Grandson of Nancy (Hatfield) McCoy & Asa McCoy

the GG Grandson of the famous “Preacher” Anse  Hatfield

the GG Grandson of Uriah and “Aunt” Betty McCoy

the GG Nephew of Randall and Sarah McCoy,

the GG Nephew of Sheriff Basil Hatfield, “Bad” Elias Hatfield & Constable Floyd Hatfield. 

and the 4th cousin to the murdering but Famous  “Devil” Anse Hatfield.

To give a little history:

 Nancy Hatfield was the daughter of “Preacher” Anse and Polly Hatfield who lived in the cabin at the foot of Blackberry mountain. Fred’s grandfather Phillip was born in the cabin where the replica stands today. “Preacher” Anse Hatfield presided over the famous Pig Trial of 1878, he was also the first cousin to “Devil” Anse Hatfield. Asa McCoy and Nancy Hatfield my G Grandparents were married in 1875 just three years prior to the Pig Trial.

Asa McCoy was the son of Uriah and “Aunt” Betty McCoy, Uriah was the first cousin to Randall McCoy and the brother to Randall’s wife Sarah or (Sally) McCoy. So not only were Randall and Uriah first cousins they were also brother n laws. Randall and Uriah both served in the Confederate Army the VSL and the 45^th, both served with “Devil” Anse Hatfield before he deserted and they were taken POW’s.

“Aunt” Betty (Rutherford) Uriah’s wife, was my GG Grandmother on the McCoy side, she is famous for being the one who took Roseanna McCoy in after she became pregnant. In fact, Roseanna named her baby after her mother Sarah and my gg Grandmother Elizabeth, (Sarah Elizabeth)

As for my gg Uncles, Sheriff Basil Hatfield, “Bad” Elias Hatfield & Constable Floyd Hatfield they were all very much involved with the Famous Feud. Probably best known would be “Bad” Elias Hatfield as he was the one involved in the first fight at the Blackberry election ground. He’s the one who owed money to Tolbert McCoy for a fiddle.

My Pedigree/DNA just goes and goes but this is the just of it. Since I was a child I have always been fascinated by the feud and those involved in it. Over the last one-half Century, I have collected anything I could for my collection. After marring Shelia over 33 years ago researching the Hatfield and McCoy Feud and collecting artifacts also became her hobby. Over the last few years’ people have encouraged us to share our collection, we hope you enjoy viewing it as much as we have collecting it.
