VA actually) Loys during your research please. Edward W. Loy (b. 1835 in Belmont Co., OH) and his brother William H. Loy (b. 1843 in OH) appear to have both enlisted in Civil War from Parkersburg, W. VA. Edward's son, Lee Loy, was born in Parkersburg in April of 1862. Edward and siblings were children of Jacob Loy, Jr., who was born 1805 in Maryland (died 1850's in Monroe Co., OH), and was son of Jacob Loy, Sr. born about 1775. Jacob Sr. arrived in Belmont Co., OH prior to the 1808 tax rolls and died there shortly after the 1830 census. We are searching whom Sr's parents were. Jacob Jr. married Elizabeth Beckett in Belmont Co., OH on 13 Sept 1827. Thanks for any leads or direction. Teddy in CA
