That is something. Kentucky wasn't lonely. I was married for 28 yrs . My husband was struck by lightning and died instantly. It was traumatic. I had a hard time coping but i had 2 kids to raise. So i kept working. It has been almost 16yrs and i still don't want to remarry. I can't imagine going through 6 marriages. To me that would be too complicated and heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing this interesting story !
It sounds like she was a determined woman. I can't imagine being married to dix different people. Let alone the fact that they all passed away. She just didn't want to be alone. Strong woman, and as much as she accomplished a determined woman. Thank ya'll for another great video. Again, this raises about as many questions as given answers. Hope you didn't get too cold out there, Leo. Heather, i hope you were in a warmer spot. God bless ya'll and stay safe out there on the road, especially in that weather.
Oh my goodness Leo!!! It looks so-o- cold, but beautiful in Pikeville. Mohammed Ali was absolutely right in his famous quote. Leo, that was an amazing story of Kentucky. She was a beautiful lady.Thank you Leo and Heather.
Reminds me of my ex. She’s currently on #6. 1 and 2 are deceased, I was #3, 4 and 5 are deceased and she is currently on #6. I think she has a thing for wedding cake.
I had a cousin who was married five times by the time she was 27---twice to the same guy. If she thought a man belonged to another woman, he instantly became attractive to her. That included among family, but she was never successful in that aspect. None of them predeceased her. They always divorced her. I know personally that she was not above blackmail in her attempts to get what she wanted from a man, especially if he was married to someone else. She was married a couple or three more times, but as she aged she encountered more 'obstacles'.
Loved this story!! The Phoenix has risen again on Kentucky by this acknowledgment. Leo I think you have a voice for broadcasting. Now Heather keeps you on top with research!!!😊You make a wonderful on this adventure!! Thank you for what you do for us here in Utubeland!😍
I love this story! I have gone to numerous concerts there. The last one was Lainey Wilson. Love Hillbilly days too! Maybe I’ll see you guys there. That would be a dream come true for me ❤️
Whoa, I'm glad you are looking at the woman as an inspiration. I watch way too much true crime. I'm going to go with your lovely story and not go to the dark segment of my mind. RIP Kentucky and your six husbands.
At some point (probably after 2 or 3 predeceased husbands), we are compelled to think the definition of "soulmate" may have been a bit different in this story.
An amazing story and a remarkable lady. Rest in peace Ketucky 🙏 thank you for sharing this story. I agree with what you said, wouldn't it be interesting to sit and talk to her, wow, that'd be quiet an experience. 😊
Very interesting story, a very strong lady. May she rest in peace 🙏 I am not sure if I could handle being married six times, and losing my wife to death six times. Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another great video. Take care. 😊
We can’t stop living , blessings to anyone who goes on living after losing so much I’ve done it , but at age 77 just can’t do the heartbreak anymore , beautiful story, stay safe and blessings
A very remarkable woman for sure! 72 years old getting married for the 5th time and at 52, after burying 2 husbands, a boyfriend and a fiancee, I can't find a decent man to date!
Back in the day (1800s) divorce of course was looked down upon. Doing our genealogy we found me great great grandfather in the census as a widower living with his daughters family. We also found his wife ( my g g grandmother) living in her owned boarding house listed as a widow. I'm pretty sure neither thought their spouse was actually dead. Lol
Kentucky had two children with her first husband. They were Rebecca and a son born in 1861 who died in 1865 a few months before his fourth birthday. Mr. Musick was Ulysses "Van" Simpson Musick and was born on 15 October 1868 in Magnolia, Morgan, West Virginia. He was married first to Iantha Spaulding and they had nine children.
this reminded me of a story in my family tree. the news paper article title is octogenarian takes 7th wife. the wife was only 20 and he already had 23 kids plus numerous grandkids/ great grandkids.
No us men have become more selective as we age, and I wouldn't marry now for the first time without an iron clad prenuptial agreement. And it would include clauses for any children born into the marriage. I have saw to many guys lose everything in divorces and go back and do it again.
Thank you for the interesting story, Leo... So, a couple questions... you called Mr Musik Robert when you first talked about them marrying, but then said you coukdnt find his first name? Im confused about that... also, there was no mention of what happened to him, or how he died? I find it odd that Rebecca Scott's(?) Headstone says Wife, but has no last name on it... strange... any insight into her? Again, thanks for such an interesting story... maybe one day I will tell you about my Great Grandmother, Julia Isadora Smith (Dora). She was married several times, and her first husband Jacob C Smith, was my ggrandfather. Eventhough she married a few times after him, she changed her name back to Smith when they died... she was the first woman reporter for the Lexington Herald in Ky... but the facts behind her story, are much more convoluted, and interesting....😮
Rebecca's headstone says Cline on it, pretty big letters. She married a Cline. Far as if I said Robert, that is the last name of the other husband, Robert Ferrell

She was a very determined woman and wanted to live on not to be lonely God bless her thank you Leo for sharing this story
Kentucky should be an inspiration to all of us. Thank you Leo & Heather

These days, there would be serious questions!

Great job as always!
Thank you Heather and Leo for sharing the life and times of Kentucky very interesting Story
Watching replay 😊
Wow married 6 times that allot.
Good Story.👍
Pretty area.
Thanks! for sharing.
I love this story! I have gone to numerous concerts there. The last one was Lainey Wilson. Love Hillbilly days too! Maybe I’ll see you guys there. That would be a dream come true for me ❤️
I always enjoy these videos , history, the stories behind them.
.
R.I.P. Kentucky . Very interesting story.
Whoa, I'm glad you are looking at the woman as an inspiration. I watch way too much true crime. I'm going to go with your lovely story and not go to the dark segment of my mind. RIP Kentucky and your six husbands.
The title is enough for me to be extremely suspicious. Then we hear a husband died prematurely (40 yo) from an "unknown cause." Coincidence?
At some point (probably after 2 or 3 predeceased husbands), we are compelled to think the definition of "soulmate" may have been a bit different in this story.
Six soulmates? I agree it sounds kind of suspicious. Yes, unknown cause??? How did she get all the wealth?
An amazing story and a remarkable lady. Rest in peace Ketucky 🙏 thank you for sharing this story. I agree with what you said, wouldn't it be interesting to sit and talk to her, wow, that'd be quiet an experience. 😊
Very interesting story, a very strong lady. May she rest in peace 🙏
I am not sure if I could handle being married six times, and losing my wife to death six times.
Thank you very much Leo and Heather, for another great video. Take care. 😊
Hell I'm 73, married once. Don't know if I would want to marry again. Thànks you guys interesting story.
We can’t stop living , blessings to anyone who goes on living after losing so much I’ve done it , but at age 77 just can’t do the heartbreak anymore , beautiful story, stay safe and blessings

That Sure Was Kentucky God bless you. Great one but so sad.
Leo is very kind to people. Wants to see the best in us. Thanks, Leo.

Hello ❤❤Leo and Heather 🎉😊
Wow one time is enough for me. I had been married 47 years when my husband passed away
What an awesome story! Kentucky was an amazing woman . I would forsure to give up after 2 husband's. ❤😊❤
Very interesting story Leo stay warm out there
wonderful team...
Excellent story, very interesting and well said.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great life story. Thank you.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing
Good story. From the crazy cat lady
lol
this reminded me of a story in my family tree. the news paper article title is octogenarian takes 7th wife. the wife was only 20 and he already had 23 kids plus numerous grandkids/ great grandkids.
this actually took place in webster county Wv
I can't even find my 2nd husband (yes, I'm female), how the heck did she find 6? A friend was married 3 times by the time she was 30. Good gracious.😊
Maybe I'm just more particular than they are/were.
No us men have become more selective as we age, and I wouldn't marry now for the first time without an iron clad prenuptial agreement. And it would include clauses for any children born into the marriage. I have saw to many guys lose everything in divorces and go back and do it again.
She was rich!!
BINGO!!!@@travisboone6383
@@travisboone6383 she probably had a prenup
Wow 😊
That town is a horror story unto itself.Been there and done that.
Hello Leo and Heather
do you mean she was born in 1843
Good story. Sounds like she wasn't in that much love with any of them. Maybe she just needed the companionship.😁🇺🇸
She spent a lot of time with many of them, who knows
Mr, Musick was Ulysses Simpson Musick
Ulysses Simpson Musick, MD.
It's hard to believe she found 6 soul mates😮
DANG!!!! YOU GO GIRL😊
The little lady Kentucky was an opportunists, she knew where the money was! Even in death she keeps a couple of them close by under supervision!
I could not imagine burning 6 husbands. Couldn't imagine being married 6 times. Wow
I wonder why they named her Kentucky? Strange name for a girl back then I think
Theres a lot of people back then named after states, not sure why, my Aunt was named Missouri
@@thehillbillyfiles Oh ok
Someone needs to clean the stone. After all her name was Kentucky
His name was Ulysses S. Music/Musick
You state she was born in 1943. Am I missing something?? Very interesting story!!
well thats a mistake
We know you were testing us to be sure we were listening.😊

The photo of the young girl at start of your story is the same photo you shared of Levicy Hatfield,in her biography.
yea I know but its not her, her face is exactly the same as Kentucky's, fake pictures are pretty common, and I have no way of knowing ya know?
Well but which one was her soulmate?
6 dead husbands....danger danger danger......
Who did she leave her property too
No idea
Was the husband's last name Musick? I'm related to the KY Musick family
One of them yes.
Possibly Ulysses Simpson Musick ??? FindAGrave has that name listed in the area.
Wait.....7 times? Something don't sound right.
6
I couldn’t find her on ancestry or find a grave
Hmmmmmm black widow?
