General Notes: Husband - Thomas McCoy

---

He was school director for fifteen years or more; was elected justice of the peace in 1884, for five years, and served as assessor of Stowe township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He owned sixty-two acres of the old family homestead, a house and lot at Chartiers, and some stock in Point bridge. He was a republican.

He was born in the log house on the homestead in Robinson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the McCoy farm later forming part of Kennedy township. He attended the Clever district school near his home farm, but when he was eight years of age his father's death threw the burden of farm management upon the sons, henceforth the lad's schooling was confined to a few of the winter months. He remained at home working with his brothers until 1876, when Thomas became, by agreement, sole manager. Later he became sole owner by purchase, and then resided on the farm where he first saw the light. The old farm was well situated, fertile and well improved. In 1894 Mr. McCoy erected a comfortable modern farm house and also erected new barns as crop needs demanded. He supplemented his few years of school study by a course of self instruction and reading and made himself one of the well informed men of his township. He was a Republican in politics, served as school director for twenty years or more and for one term was township supervisor. He and his family were members of Union United Presbyterian Church and active workers therein. [GPHWP, 524]
