  • Notes 
    • I've been corresponding with Vicky Lee Helmer and Deven Lewis, who are researching McCoy-Martin and McCoy-Winders-Jackaway connections. We believe that the Jackaway-Winders-McCoy families were related as follows: «b»Hiram McCoy«/b» (parents unknown) b ca 1796 Pennsylvania died 1861 Wapello, Iowa First married Susan(na) Seighman/Sechman who died sometime between 1828-1834, most likely 1829-1830. children: Ashford McCoy (1819-1900) m. Sarah McVey William (ca 1822 - ?) Huldah (1823-1886) m. David Rittenhouse Blair Hiram D. (1826-1904) m. Julia Ann Walter Minerva (ca 1829 - before 1854) m. James Peden

      We know his second wife was named Catherine, and thanks to the discovery of the diary of Catherine Wheatley Anderson, daughter of Mary Jackway and niece to Catherine Jackaway, his second wife was Catherine Jackaway Winders, widow of Samuel Winders. «b»Catherine Jackaway«/b» (b ca 1800 Pennsylvania d 1859 Wapello, IA) John (ca 1830-bef 1901) m. Hannah Aaron (1834-1901) m. Elizabeth Johnson Susan (1837-1915) m. James Martin (Vicky's line) Isaac Anderson (1839-1901) m. Amanda Ann Davis Mary E. (1840-1917) m. Sydnor Robinson

      according to the diary, Catherine was the mother by previous marriage to Samuel Winders, whom we believed died before 1827: Robert Jackaway Winders (1822 - ?) Sally Ann Winders (dates unknown) Lafayette Winders (1825 - 1889) The Winders and McCoy siblings, half-siblings and step-siblings seem to have stayed in touch even though most left Pennsylvania. Some of them went to Iowa (Ashford, Huldah, Aaron, Susan, Isaac, Mary E., Lafayette), some went on to Oklahoma from there (Susan, Aaron),some spent time in Texas (Lafayette, Robert J.), some ended up in Kansas (Huldah, Hiram D., Lafayette).
