Elaine Vance: One cannot deny that the stabbing and shooting of Ellison
Hatfield, the retaliatory killing of the McCoy brothers, and the Near
Year's catastrophic killings were unthinkable acts of violence, with
plenty of blame to go around. But, when one begins to look beyond the
families of the Hatfields and McCoys, there are a lot of surprises and a
lot of unanswered questions. There seems to be other casualties of the
feud. Not only was Jim Vance likely killed in cold blood, but the
assassination of his character adds insult to injury. Those that were
left to defend his honor were all dead in a few short years after Jim's
murder. In the book written by Squirrel Hunting Sam McCoy, he alludes to
Jim Vance Jr. being threatened by someone in Pikeville. Sam stated,
"Little Jim Vance, old man Vance's son, got to coming to Pikeville and he
soon found out the next trip he made would be his last one." Jim Vance,
Jr. and his father were business partners. Jim Jr. didn't marry until
after the death of his father. He married Vicy Stepp on December 10,
1890. They had a son who was born on April 14, 1892. According to court
testimony involving one of his siblings, we learn that Jim Vance Jr. died
when his baby was only 1 or 2 months old. To date, I have not learned the
circumstances of his death.
