Isabel Lockard. Thetitle is Joseph Washington McCoy 1766-1840 of Coshocton County, OhioHis Descendents and Related Families. It was printed by Closson Press1935 Sampson Dr., Apollo, PA 15613-9208. The author's address is 32Jamestown Rd., Charleston, SC 29407-7526. You would need to contactthe Zanesville Library to get an obit from there. We do not keep theZanesville paper on microfilm. Hope this helps. Margaret"
It's just been recently known that Hazel Gertrude Blackson had sixmarriages (per grandson Dave Dempsey and daughter Mamie Dempsey ofTexas) of which Lyman McCoy was the first marriage. It would appearthat in the obituary notices that Lyman's marriage to Hazel Blacksonwas not mentioned nor were his children by her. Pesently, I have onlytwo childrens names on documents for proof of father Lyman McCoy -Tella's birth certificate, and Mildred"s name in the obit of CoshoctonTribune, 1948.

"Marriages of Coshocton County, Ohio for 1811-1930 Vol. 1" Pub. per"The Genealogy Society in 1967". Proof of second marriage of LymanGuy McCoy to a Mrs. Altha May Carr Crass on April 17, 1920 inCoshocton County, Ohio. This explains the obituary of Lyman Guy McCoythat does not mention any wives, and only his children from his secondmarriage.
