In Memory of a True Appalachian Legend 🕊️

Today, Appalachia lost one of its brightest lights.

The Hatfield & McCoy family joins our friends and neighbors across Tennessee, the Appalachian Mountains, and around the world in mourning the passing of Dolly Parton.

Dolly never forgot where she came from. She carried the stories, values, faith, humor, and spirit of the mountains with her everywhere she went and used her success to give back to generations of people, especially children.

For families like ours who work to preserve and share Appalachian history and heritage, Dolly showed the world something important: our mountain roots are something to be proud of.

Her music will live on. Her generosity will live on. And the incredible legacy she built here in East Tennessee will continue touching lives for generations.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Parton family, the Dollywood family, and everyone whose life was touched by this remarkable Appalachian woman.

Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for making the mountains proud. ❤️

— The Hatfield & McCoy Family

WINTER PORTRAIT OF THE HATFIELD FAMILY.

This early photograph captures Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield and his growing family during the winter months at their homeplace on the West Virginia side of the Tug Valley.

This is one of the earliest known images of the feuding Hatfields. Center, sitting with two small children is William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield with his faithful wife, Louvicey (Levicy) Chafin Hatfield, holding a child on her lap), along with others surrounding them.

“Robert E. Lee was such a hero to Devil Anse Hatfield that he named his third son after him! My great-grandfather, Robert E. Lee Hatfield, is shown standing behind and to the right of Devil Anse, wearing the hat. Family stories say he served as a spy for the family during the feud,” said Jack Hatfield, of the Hatfields and McCoys Foundation & Museum.

The time period is unclear in this winter image, but it may have been taken as early as the late 1870s or early 1880s at their log cabin along the Tug River Valley in Logan County, WV (now Mingo County, WV).
