General Notes: Husband - Alexander McCoy

---

He was the first of the family to come to the United States. He located in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, where he married. After removing to Centre County, he became the well-known host of the "Old Fort Hotel," and subsequently he purchased of the Potter family a farm. He located thereon in 1847, and continued his residence there until his death. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and in politics he was an Old-line Whig. He was a large, portly man, very robust, and was never ill until seized with the sickness that terminated his life.
