As for your question, I know what happened to confuse you. You are right, that the iron marker is of John ("Fisher") Loy, son of George and Catherine (Tillman) Loy. When "To Loys Crossroads" was first published, I noticed the error in it, which gave John ("Fisher") Loy's name mixed with his cousin John Loy, Jr. (who md. Philopena Sharp). I wrote the author, Mr. Tharpe, telling of this error, but he said this was info he had been given.Understandably, since he is only a Loy "in-law," he didn't have extensive research to catch this big error. As for Ola and Oma, I was told that they were twins.Oma died in 1872 and she married Clyde Hobert Hutcheson. As for my first email to you, which was returned, I'd said that I had your family down to Sherman Guerney Loy and _____ Brantley (who was sister to Ulyses' wife Bessie) and their son Cleveland who "died in teens in 1935." I got this info from the census and Sherman's marriage from a granddaughter of Ulysses Loy. She didn't give me much on your line, though, just that. So any new info would be welcome. Please email me-- I also have a couple of conflicting dates on your branch, which maybe you could help me straighten out. By the way, I added a post script to your guest book message, that you left out one generation. John P. was son of Emanuel and Margaret (Macon) Loy, who was son of John ("Fisher") Loy. You had left out Emanuel. your 6th cousin 1x removed (my dad would have been 6th cousin to you), Delores
