This week I finished updating my site with the pictures from my Salt Lake City trip. (For those who tried earlier this week and found it the graphics slow loading--I have it fixed now.) Along with this is my new "shortcut" URL. Bravenet has never responded so I could link it to the new Rootsweb URL, so instead I have it through cjb.net. It's actually a lot easier to access-- http://loyhistory.cjb.net In fact, most browsers will take you there if you just type loyhistory.cjb.net I found some things at the Library in SLC that proved to be quite interesting. I was able to find the info to link one cousin, Cristy Fisher, to Martin-John-John Jr.-John (III)-David-George-John Will(iam)-Ralph O., her grandfather. Additionally, I'm in process of connecting another cousin as well. At the same time, I found two new "mysteries" for the Martin Loy branch. First, I found in the Guilford Co., NC Court Minutes May term 1786 "pg. 198" (the *physical* transcribed book I got this from was pg. 101) gave "Unity Loy vs. Sarah K--n, No. 5 Slander. Same Jury as to No. 4. Pltff nonsuited." The K--n is where the letters in between were illegible to transcriber. Anyway, here's another "new Loy" for us. Then, I've found another mysterious Loy--as mysterious as John and Mary (Holt) Loy's son George. In fact, this could be a son or grandson of George: Yancy Loy #2. Why I say #2 is that through email correspondence, I've found descendants of Yancy Loy #1, who md. #1 Sally Essex in Orange Co., NC. This Yancy was born somewhere around 1815 in NC and died in 1880 in Rhea Co., TN. In my early research of Yancy, I had come across an elderly widow lady in MO whose husband Clint's grandfather was named Yancy Loy. These are the only two Yancy Loys I've ever encountered in my research, and assumed both must be closely related. Well, after 18 years, I finally was able to research this Yancy #2. He is in the 1870 Lathrop, Clinton Co., MO census with wife Eliza (by coincidence, Yancy #1 was also married to an Eliza in later years). Yancy #2 was 42 in 1870, which would make him born about 1828. The census gives him born NC, so he has to be of Martin Loy's branch--but where, unless of John and Mary (Holt) Loy's son George. Perhaps one Yancy was a son and one a grandson, or both grandsons by different sons? In 1860, Yancy #2 was in Jackson Twp., Clinton Co., MO, where he is 30 years old and in 1850, single, age 20, in Caldwell Co., MO, where the index gives him as "Yantis" Loy, which is really the way the name looks in the actual schedule. So, the more solutions I get, the more problems to solve! Delores

Thanks for mentioning the pictures I put up, Angela: "Ancientfaces.com, This is listed on the site -- John Foster Tucker, son of Stillman Tucker and Margaret Loy" It's a free site. The names you supply with any picture you post there are indexed by the web's automatic indexing software. Some cousins I didn't know I had found me through another picture I put up an ancientfaces. Margaret Loy married later than most women of her generation -- at age 27 in 1852 as I recall. She was living with her widowed mother when the widowed Rev. Stillman Tucker married her, evidently having outlived two previous wives. Just four years after her marriage, she was left a widow with three children (including an infant who became my grandfather) and three step-daughters. She did not marry again and we have some records showing how tough it was for her to raise those children. In the 1890's she homesteaded in Custer county, Oklahoma, as did C. M. Collins and his wife, nee Phebe Olive Tucker. Margaret S. Loy Tucker lived into her eighties. As I learned first from the site of my cousin Bill Loy http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/5223/frederick.html this Margaret Loy is further identified: 29. MARGARET S 4 LOY (FREDERICK 3, GEORGE FREDERICK 2, JOHN GEORGE 1, PETER??A) was born 1825 in Morrow Co. Ohio. She married (Stillman) TUCKER. Children of MARGARET LOY and TUCKER are: i. MARY ALICE 5 TUCKER. (no children) ii. PHEBE OLIVE TUCKER, m. C. M. COLLINS. (Columbus McKendree Collins, eight children of whom six lived to maturity. I verified with her grandson, Mr. G. Collins of Texas, that Phebe's middle name was "Olive" not "Loive".) iii. JOHN FOSTER TUCKER. (married Alice Rose Greene, widow of Ernest Watrous, and father of two daughters -- including my mother.) Again, from Bill's site, the parents of Margaret Loy Tucker: FREDERICK3 LOY (GEORGE FREDERICK2, JOHN GEORGE1, PETER??A) was born Bet. 1770 - 1773 in Frederick County, Maryland, and died Bet. 1830 - 1840 in Morrow Co., Ohio. He married ELIZABETH M EYSTER 1815, daughter of GEORGE EYSTER and MARY SLAGLE. Bill's site also lists the siblings of Margaret Loy. Any cousins or other people out there who are interested in seeing (or providing) pictures of Margaret Loy and other descendants of Frederick Loy and Elizabeth Eyster, please write to me at mbramlette@earthlink.net or on this mailing list. Mark, long-winded tonight, still grateful to Bill Loy for providing all my initial information on Margaret Loy, her siblings and ancestors, and her Collins children actually, Mark Foster Bramlette, with "Mark" chosen shortly after my birth when my mother found that the previously chosen name -- Margaret -- wouldn't fit, and "Foster" chosen because of John Foster Tucker

Ancientfaces.com This is listed on the site John Foster Tucker, son of Stillman Tucker and Margaret Loy Angela

Some of my two cents. the cards sound like the same idea used by the national archives in Washington, D.C. There the cards ARE used both for zerox and microfilm and it works the same way Beth described. As for Reading, PA, I live about 3 hours or so from there, maybe less. I was doing research on the Web once and found, perhaps through Angela, as that is where I seem to find all the good stuff from, that there is a plantation type estate near the Reading PA area that some Loy's owned way back. The article stated that the house was an eight story mansion and that Goerge Washington had once visited and slept there. the Loy's lost ownership due to bad debt, but had been in the coal mining business there. I think it may have been a Michael Loy that owned it. Anyway, the article also stated that the mansion had been turned into a B&B inn. But my family made a point to look it up last year on the way home from a school trip to Scranton, PA. It is also near Lebanon, PA home of the famous bologna. We were somewhat familiar with Lebanon and Scranton areas and Wilkes Barre, PA as our sons have had high school marching band competitions in these towns for the past 6 - 7 years. Anyway, we found the plantation. It was not a eight story mansion but a 3 story mansion. I came home to look up the article in my notes thinking I had mistaken reading the number. But the eight was spelled out. It is possible that whoever wrote the article was third party to the owners at the time and misread the number from another source. Anyway, this plantation had many buildings around it and was run down a little bit and is now privately owned. A clerk at a nearby store said the place was famous for the story of George Washington having stayed there and also people stopped by to look at the outhouse, which did look like an extravagant structure, more liken to our modern gazebos, but narrower and closed in. Anyway, some of the research I have been doing has caused me to ponder going to Reading or Harrisburg, PA, which is even closer to me, to find my missing links. I also hope to get over to Lancaster area just below Reading and also closer to me, to find Muddy Creek Church descendents and perhaps the site of the church and church records myself as my roots definitely seem to point back to that church. It is either southeast of Lancaster or near Cocalico Township, which we hear alot about at the band competitions in Lebanon, especially. I believe Cocalico is also up near Reading. And if you ever plan to make a trip to Reading, then you must see Daniel Boone's homestead, just southeast of there and of course Valley Forge in the northwestern vicinity to Reading. Good Luck. Perhaps we can tie some strings together after your trip. I do know and research alot of the Loy's in the Virginia area and have traced my exact line back to 1810 there. But the history I have found in a geneological library in Leesburg, VA that I have frequented alot, and also in the history books for geneology in Frederick Historical Society, state that the Loy's were present in Frederick, MD and in the areas of PA mentioned above as early as 1732- 1733. I have names further back than my exact line, but have not yet connected my line to them exactly.

FROM ANOTHER LIST Angela You might want to try out this site, it's the best search page I've found for GenForum.com and Ancestry.com: http://images.gencircles.com/message/searcher It searches both boards....you can search the body of each message and also search by poster's name and message subject.

Delores, might I suggest that you go to http://www.familysearch.com -- the Mormon site and use the card catalog to see if they have the records you are looking for. That will save time when you get there. I live in Fort Wayne where we have the ACPL but I still look up the books I want before I go to the library to save time when I get there. I've been to SLC twice and have found some really good information. I saw on their web page that they are remodeling the library and that it is "noisy" a couple of hours a day because of the workmen. Have fun. Patricia (Pat) in Fort Wayne - descendant of Jacob Loy, Sr. and Barbara Bock

Thanks Beth! Did they just start copy cards? In the books, I was told to bring along plenty of change in advance, because there was a long line in getting change. A card is a great idea: does it work for both the microfilm copiers and the photocopiers (a/k/a "Xerox machines")? I don't plan on much census research, as I have found most of the Loys current to 1920, although I will go through some recently (in past two years) found Loy branches in AR, MO, and TX. The main thing I want to try is to see if they have copies of the Reading Adler (Reading, PA), in which John Loy's 1840 obituary was found. Another thing is to check Rowan Co., NC records pre-1850. Thanks to a posting by Larry Noah in the Brick Church Rootsweb List, I found the naturalization record transcript of Martin Loy and others from the area of Orange. Larry had said that some living in Western Orange Co. found it easier to go to Rowan Co. rather than Hillsborough in Orange. I am wondering, because those records are there, if other records, such as wills, might be found there as well. That I know of, no one has checked for any Loys in Rowan Co. wills/land records. As for the stoplights, there is one intersection in Palm Springs that still has that "funny noise." Braille Institute used to be on that corner, until they moved to a bigger building on the edge of town, but they didn't take their "noise-light" with them when they moved.

Hi Delores, I was fortunate to spend a few days in SLC at the Fam. Hist. Lib. recently. I was there on a Friday aft. & evening, when my husband and I had good luck, so we went back on Sat and kept hitting brick walls. But then we went on to vacation in the Tetons and the Rockies... Then, 10 days later, we went back to the FHL on a Monday aft. & evening and found some more good stuff! It seemed busier on Monday than it had on Fri or Sat, but I don't think there's any pattern to it. I did learn: Get yourself oriented at the beginning. They have a short (very short) introductory talk. I would ask for some printed guidelines. There are at least 4 floors, with different countries on each floor. Read the signs at the elevators to learn how it's arranged. They have MANY people helping, with some much more helpful than others. If you don't get your question answered satisfactorily by one person, find another one. Take your time to find the numbered microfilms in the drawers. It can take a while. There is some construction going on, and things have been moved. Keep asking. Keep looking. Take breaks to collect your thoughts and information so you know what you want to look up next. It's best if you go in with definite goals. I was much more successful when I looked up a certain family in the 1880 US Census for NJ, for instance, than if I just wandered around looking at various books. Be prepared to work... If you're using microfilm, you will first look use a reader. When you find something you want to copy, you must remove both reels and walk to the "copy room" where you will have to place the film on another machine to copy it. The readers feed the film from the bottom of the left reel, and the copiers feed from the top of left reel, so you have to "flip it over." You will need to buy a "copy card" from a machine. You use it to make copies by inserting it into the microfilm copy machine. You put a dollar in the machine to get the card... and then you go back and add another dollar...and... There is a restaurant just down the street called JB's or BJ's which was friendly and reasonable. Enjoy the lovely flowers. Go to a free concert. Both in Temple Square, just across from the FHL. The US area was always congested. A suggestion... take the microfilm to another floor where it is less busy. But please put it back where it came from. Don't be spooked by the stoplights. They make funny noises. For sight impaired people, I guess. Good Luck! Enjoy! I want to go back! It's wonderful!!

Hi everyone, The day after tomorrow (Tuesday) I'm going on a one week vacation to Salt Lake City via Greyhound. This will be my first time going. Have any of you used the library there before? If so, do you have any good tips? I visited the Library website, but thought some of you might have some personal ideas, such as what time of day/what day of the week the crowds are the heaviest, etc. Thanks, Delores

Angela, Where do you find such gems? I was greatly appreciative of your find even though I do not connect directly yet to these AR folks. You are such a blessing to our list. You are always coming up with great finds like this. Keep at it. I love it! Thanks much!

I HOPE SOME CAN HELP. MY GRANDFATHER RAHN WAS ALSO BORN IN SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN

http://www.rootsweb.com/~argreene/greevne1891.htm Mrs. Tennessee Loy , wife of Cart Loy , living fifteen miles west of Hot Springs This might help a little Angela

http://www.lib.utah.edu/spc/mss/ms670/670.html Dose anyone know this Una Loy? Wife of Dr. Barney Bailey Clark? Dr. Barney Bailey Clark, the first authorized recipient of this artificial heart. Angela

The Cart Loy is new to me, unless he was John Brooks Loy, Sr.'s son Cas, that I don't have any further info on. I was surprised, though, to see C. E. McWhorter's ad on that link as well. C.E. was Charles E. McWhorter, son of John and Mandy (McCann) McWhorter. John was son of Alexander and Margaret Tillman (Loy) McWhorter. Of course, Margaret was sister to my Joseph and your Thomas Loy. I had known that Charles had lived in Clay Co., AR, then died in TX, but I didn't know he had been in Greene Co. on 7/29/01 1:34 PM, ALoy106018@aol.com at ALoy106018@aol.com wrote: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~argreene/greevne1891.htm > > Mrs. Tennessee Loy , wife of Cart Loy , living fifteen miles west of Hot > Springs > > This might help a little > > Angela > > > ==== LOY Mailing List ==== > *** Roxanne Munns, ListHostess *** > To unsubscribe, send "UNSUBSCRIBE" to LOY-L-request@rootsweb.com > > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry's Library - The best collection of family history > learning and how-to articles on the Internet. > http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library >

Barry, You no doubt descend from Henry Loy, son of George Loy "Jr.", son of John and Mary (Holt) Loy, son of Martin and Catherine (Foust) Loy. Several of Henry's children went to the area of Hot Springs, AR. Do you have dates on your grandparents? I found the following in the Social Security Database online: ALVIN LOY 03 May 1927 Mar 1991 71901 (Hot Springs National Park, Garland, AR) (none specified) SS #432-36-9980 [Social Security card issued in] Arkansas I'm glad you wrote, as I've been interested in knowing if this Alvin Loy was a son of Gus Alvin Loy (born in 1897) who was son of John Brooks Loy [Jr] and Mary Elizabeth Mann (who had previously been married to Joseph Davis Montgomery). John Brooks Loy was born in 1872, the son of John Brooks Loy [Sr.] who was son of the above Henry Loy. Also, Mary Elizabeth Mann was daughter of Paschal S. Mann and Nancy Elizabeth Loy, so she and her second husband John Brooks Loy would have been first cousins. (Nancy Elizabeth Loy was sister to John Brooks Loy [Sr.].) I have a Loy site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~loyhistory My line is Martin and Catherine's son Henry, brother to your Henry's grandfather John. on 7/29/01 10:25 AM, barry_loy@hotmail.com at barry_loy@hotmail.com wrote: > > > I'm not real sure how to start this, but I am trying to find any relatives or > information.
