Farm of Daniel C.Coy

The farm of Daniel C.Coy was located North of Dayton-Xenia Road.The farm looks toward the present location of longview drive.(pg.91-B'C Chronicles)
photo submited by Mr.&Mrs.Horace Coy

I also have found in the Census records this Daniel C Coy b.1874 and his wife's name was Ida L b.1876-their son Horace Coy was born 1903

Johannes V.Johns

John Valentine Johannes(Johann V.Johannes-Johns)(photo-upper left)
b.Jan.13,1833 in Bavaria,Germany.Johannes immigrasted to America with 3 brothers and one sister.One of his brothers settled in Piqua,Ohio the others spread out across the land.(pg.127-B'C chronicles)

I imagine my Jacob Coy b.1739 could have looked similar to this man.He has a nice rugged face,and full beard worn by most of the Reformed German men.

Sarah Ritter Hawker

I will fill in details of Sarah when I find all the info.

This is significant to my family story because she is from the Ritter and Hawker family's.There are also the faimliy's of Yingling and Folkerth connected thru COY marriages and this lovely lady pictured above.

My COY family had known and been one of the earliest settlers with the Tobias family.I aslo have Tobias,Swigert,and Miller in our marraiges to the COY's.(pg.142 full story)
When I look at this photo, I imagine my COY family sitting down for a family photo in the same fashion as these folks.Notice the men on the fron row all have bows ties,and dark suits of the day.The Matriarch of the family is wearing a heavy black dress buttoned high up her neck,and her hair is pulled back in a tigh bun.
The younger man on the back row,on the right is the only one with a long tie.The younger woman are wearing pretty white dresses. The patterns probbaly have some time of ornamentation to the actual fabric and design.

William Agustus Johannes-a decedant of Johannes V.Johns.(pg.129-B'C chronicles)

I include the photos of the Johns, because the their is a marriage between the COY's and the JOHNS.But mostly because these photos are a nice portrayal of what the hair style,and facial hair style was for men of this time period.

My COY family have nice rounded faces, and their hair color was probably dish-water blonde to the brown hues,maybe even shades of auburn.
