I'd say you're descendent from the Hatfield/McCoy bunch in Pikeville, Ky. The reason you're finding some problem with where they are from is the difference in borders. Eastern Ky & WV. and even some of Ohio were all Va. until 1803. Tn borders southeastern Ky.(Pike/Harlan etc.) & southwestern W.V. WV didn't even come into existance until 1863. So you'll find Hatfields in Boyd, Lawrence, Pike & Harlan Co. in Ky. All over western WV and northeastern Tn.
I'm not a descendent I've just been doing some genealogy research for a lady who is.
