Roseanna Mccoy
Roseanna McCoy was born to Randolph aka "Randall" (1825-1914) and Sarah McCoy (1829-1890. She was one of 14(!) siblings and married into the Hatfield family. Like a US version of Romeo & Juliet, of course everyone knows of the Hatfield / McCoy family feud. See Hatfield McCoy feud, KY & WV for more details. According to the 1880 Census, Roseanna was 20 and lived at 152 Blackberry in Pike Kentucky and was still single at the time. She lived there with her father, mother, and siblings Alafare, Pharmer, Randolph, William, Twinvilla, Adlade, Fannie and Lona. She married Johnson "Johnse" Hatfield (1862-1922) and they had a daughter Sarah "Sally" Elizabeth McCoy-Hatfield who died from measles after 7 or 8 months in October of 1881. Near Sally's grave it says she was buried next to a tree on a hill bedside near her aunt Betty McCoy's home. A 1949 film called Roseanna McCoy tells the story of her 'forbidden romance' with Johnse Hatfield. The plot of this film is below. Buried at the now named Dils Cemetery in Pikeville, Pike County Kentucky. Previously known as the McCoy Cemetery.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
