| 57301 | [Obituary Transcript - The Spirit - A STRANGE SUICIDE. A Man in His Ninetieth Year Blows His Brains Out.] On Sunday of last week, while Jacob Siverling, who was in the ninetieth year of his age, was sitting at the table eating his dinner, he became excited, jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "This ends it. You will never see me alive again." He then went outside, and around the corner of the house, placed the muzzel of an old-fashioned, long barreled pistol to the side of his head, and a bullet crashed into his skull, killing him almost instantly. The deceased was a remarkable vigorous man for his age, but recently is said to have been subject to flighty spells when he would fly into a violent passion about some trivial matter and threaten to shoot himself. Mr. Siverling was a man of considerable intelligence, and with the exception of a little rheumatism, was as sound as the ordinary man of fifty years. His friends all thought that he would easily round out a century of life, and had he not come to the rash conclusion that he would end the "heartaches and the thousand nature shocks that flesh is heir to" and thus "make calamity of so long a life," by self-slaughter, he probably would have seen a hundred years of life. The deceased was a soldier in the 105th regiment, and was a pensioner. Everybody who knew him spoke of him as a fine old man. He lived with his son Amos and daughter at Markton.

| 57303 | [The following is from page 240 of the book, "The McCoys: Their Story," by Truda Williams McCoy, pub. 1976 by Preservation Council Press, Pikeville, KY] "...There is a marriage record of William McCoy Jr. and Barbara Trollinger on 23 November 1796, with William McCoy Sr. as surety, in Montgomery Co, Virginia... On 18 August 1804, William and Walter McCoy purchased from John Rogers of Fayette County, Kentucky one hundred acres of land on Johns Creek in Floyd County, Kentucky. Their place of residence at the time was Floyd County. William sold 50 acres of this tract of land on 1 March 1811 to Aaron Pinson, but is believed that William was living in Illinois by that time. Family tradition has it that William, Walter, and Ezekiel McCoy went west at an early date. William McCoy was living in Gallatin County, Illinois in 1820. An anniversary issue of Hardin County taken from Pope County, which was taken from Galltain county, Illinois), names Ezekiel and Walter McCoy as early pioneers, and also states that William McCoy was noted as a soldier in the War of 1812.." Early Adventures on the Weatern Waters, Vol I, Mary B. Kegley and F.B. Kegley Page 238 " It was William McCoy who remained in the community and it is his descendants who still inhabit the village of McCoy. William married Susannah, the daughter of Robert Hunter in 1800. Another William McCoy identified as William McCoy Jr., married Barbara Trollinger, and was contemporary with William McCoy and Susannah. Deeds show that between 1805 and 1807 William McCoy and Barbara Trollinger were involved in buying and selling lands near the present town of Dublin, where Henry Trollinger Sr. (Jacob Henry son of Adam GLD) owned property (Montgomery County Deed Book D pp 237, 329, 459, 472). | McCoy, Sgt William Jr. (I978)
