Hatfields and McCoys page 4 by ric Gustafson
In the summer of 1982 Ellison Hatfield got into a fistfight with Tolbert, Pharmer and Bud McCoy. Ellison was stabbed 27 times and then shot in the back. \Devil Anse Hatfield kidnapped the brothers and threatened to kill them if his brother died. Sarah McCoy went to Devil Anse and pleaded for their lives. The following day, Ellison Hatfield died. Devil Anse and a posse led the three young McCoy men across the Tug River at Matawan West Virginia. There the Hatfield posse executed the three young men vigilante style. Their bodies were returned to the McCoy clan.
The feud continued.
