Kennett Knox Coy

Notes:

In the 1910 Columbiana County, Ohio Census, "Kennet" is residing with his son, Harvey, and Harvey's family.

From a letter written by Louise (Mrs. Russell) Stokey Coy on 6 June 1981:

"At the age of 3, Ken Coy left his [Russell's] mother
with seven kids to bring up, feed, and clothe. He was
raised in poverty and grew up with a deep sense of
hatred for his father so he was never curious about the
Coy background. The only father he ever knew was his
stepfather, Frank Drake, who was truly a good man but
was crippled so he didn't earn enough money to support
a large family, if it hadn't been for Joe Faloon whose
home they lived in they would have gone hungry."

Ken and his first wife, though they both had remarried, are buried next to each other.

In the 1930 Columbiana County, Ohio Census, Kenn resides in Hanover Twp. and lives alone as the Head of Household. He provides his age as 68 years, born in Pennsylvania to parents born in Ohio (his mother was born in Indiana), and states that he is widowed. His occupation is identified as a farmer on a "general farm".

His father's Pension File states that Ken was born in 1861 though his tombstone states 1859. However, the fact that he is not listed as born in the 1860 Pennsylvania Census suggests that the Pension File provides the correct year.

Family/Spouse: Hannah Amelia Stambaugh. Hannah (daughter of John C. Stambaugh and Harriet Eidenire) was born on 1 Nov 1860; died on 30 Mar 1927 in Hanover, Columbiana, Ohio, United States; was buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Hanoverton, Columbiana, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
