Hello Connie and Bill, Thank you very much for responding and for the new information/s on the LOY family of Monroe Co. I am actually trying to help a cousin of mine, Ron Loy. We both descend from the Mathis family of Brown Co., IN (common gg grandparents), his line married into LOY and mine into NOYE (actually my husband's line), all in Brown Co. Oldest daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Becket) Loy, Catherine that married John Truex, also ended up living and dying in Brown Co., Indiana. Ron's gg grandfather was one Edward W. Loy, born 1835 in Ohio. Edward had a son named Lee, who was born 1861 in Indiana. We located the following marriages in Bartholomew Co., IN, which borders on Brown Co: Jacob LOY married Mary Hodler 30 June 1861 Edward W. Loy married Rebecca J. Daugherty 25 March 1857 Lee Loy married Mattie Kee 14 March 1880 The Edward and Lee are Ron's ancestors. Other Loy marriages in Bartholomew were Cora, David, Grace, Hanna, John F., Levi, Lillie, Mary, Phoebe, Robert, and Rose. Interestingly enough, Ron and my GRINER and KEASER ancestors (also direct lines) were in Monroe Co., OH for 1840 and 1850 and 1860, prior to moving to BROWN CO., INDIANA. At this point we are trying to document that Jacob and Elizabeth Loy's son, Edward, is one and the same as Ron's Edward W. that was born 1835 in Ohio. Both have same birth year, and since oldest daughter Catherine also moved to Brown Co., it looks very promising. If so, then Connie and Ron are cousins (and Connie and I by marriage). Connie, do you know by chance when and where Jacob and Elizabeth died please? Have wills or probates been located on them? Again, thank you for your time. Teddy Noye in CA
