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
