Last week I received the book I preordered, 'The McCoys, Their Story' by Truda Williams McCoy, It is fan-tab-ublous. The back third is genealogy and I have made even more connections within my family lines. 42 pictures. Truda was born in 1902 in Pikeville, a teacher. She had collected enough material to write a book in 1935, interviewed McCoys for 15 years but tucked it away. She left it to her children when she passed away in 1974. I got the info off the McCoy web site, I think it's on the Hatfield site also. It is the first time the story of the McCoy's has been told, they say. She married a McCoy, descended from McCoy and was in Who's Who in America. It's a must have for some of you. The inside jacket says allied families traced in it are Blankenship, Blackburn, Charles, Cline, Hunt, Justice, Roberts, Scalf, Scott, Stafford, Staton and Williamson. This book says copyright 1976, edited by Leonard W. Roberts. If you don't have it, I sure recommend it.
