I did not get an alert notice to your message by e-mail and just now checked RootsWeb. I will send you some pictures by e-mail of the William McCoy homeplace. Many years ago I often heard family talk about relatives in Texas. James Wesley McCoy, wife Verna and several of the children came to NC homeplace and held a revival meeting when I was young--must have been about 1940. From my records he was son of John. Aunt Hattie (d. of William McCoy)married Charlie Carpenter in Texas and they had two children: Shelton and Josephine. Josephine ("Jo") married William James in Texas. They returned to NC to live for several years and then returned to Texas about 1963. Both died in Troup, Tx. Delighted to hear from you. M.Kate
