Hannah Rebecca Evans-It is her 2 uncles that Evansport,Ohio is named after. Their had been debate over the name of Coyville,but the name of Evansport is settled upon.

The town of Evansport is laid out by the Evans and John and Jacob Coy in the early 1830's.

This story was reasearched by Marilyn Coy,my Aunt. I will quote the material where she quotes this particular account of the towns namesake.
Documentation to be added

Solomon is known to have served in the Civil War,in the 121st Ohio Volunteer Regiment for the Union.

(Photo to be added)A tintype of Solomon in his Civil War uniform.
The photo I want to add appears in the Jean Coy Bartholomew book.There is great debate as to where the orginal photo on tintype is at present.
*My Aunt Marilyn had said that Jean and my Aunt Ella Mae Curtis Coy worked on the COY history together,or exchanged some information.Both of these ladies had lived in southern California.(These ladies are very distant Kindred Kin)

*My Aunt also stated that there were chew marks on this tintype made by her or my father when they were very young.What a way to cut teeth.

About the photo-I have a copy from Jean's book.But the photo is so dark I can not get it up on the website.My great-grandfather Thomas Ellsworth Coy, looks so very much like his father Solomon Coy.

Solomon's early years were spent working at the "COY & SNIDER" Lumber mill,that his father John partly owned and operated.
