Have an ancestor born at McCoy's Station OH in 1875 named David Henry Hainer. Would like to hear from someone who can tell where that's located. I understand that in Australia the term "station" is used in referring to a farm. Were there these kind of "stations" in Ohio? Or does the name imply a site located along the Ohio River or possible a rail line? Wade

McCoy's Station of course no longer exists... but it was what is now called EMPIRE, which is in Knox Township. The reference to and use of the word "Station" in this case was certainly the known Railroad station.... there are several references made to McCoy's Station in some of the earliest area history books. Hope this helps!
