The only name that looks familiar to me is COY. This is from
information I have recently received from a WEBB cousin I am working
with. Our GGG-Grandfather was a John WEBB, b. 15 Nov 1786, NC, that
was married to an Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) b. VA. We know they
were in Switzerland Co., IN in 1840 and have reason to believe they
may have been in Shelby Co., IN in 1830. There was also a John WEBB
in 1830 Switzerland Co., IN. Trying to determine which one was our
John.
Since we don't know Elizabeth's last name, we are looking at all John
Webb's and Elizabeth we can find. A John WEBB and Elizabeth COY
marriage record has been found in Garrard Co., KY on 3 Feb 1814 -
don't know if this our John and Elizabeth though. Her parents were
William COY and Mary Ann DENNIS. Wm. COY died 7-10-l833 in York Twp.
Switzerland Co. IN - the same Twp our WEBB family was known to be in
for the 1840 census. Apparently there have been lots of COY's in
Howard Co., IN where our WEBB family was in 1860. Another name that
was prevelant in our WEBB line was Peter SMITH, Jr. of Switzerland
Co., IN. Two of Peter's daughters married COY men.
Could there be a link to your COY's through any of the names I
mentioned?
Bill
