Ellison Carroll Duty
When the feud started, Ellison, a brother-in-law of Ran'l McCoy, lived several miles up in the rockhouse fork of pigeon creek. He owned at this time a large bounty of coal and timberland, extending some 5 miles along rockhouse fork of pigeon creek. In order to keep out of the feud, he decided to sell out and move further away from it. So he sacrificed his holdings on rockhouse fork of pigeon creek for $3,000, which was about 50¢ an acre.
He moved his family to big creek in Logan County WV where he bought a tract of land around the mouth of north fork. One of his grandaughters said that he later lost this tract of land by endorsing a note for someone which he had to repay.
