The Matthews & McCoy Families

McCoy & Matthews Family Photo
Photograph Furnished by Emily Matthews; Courtesy of Bucky McCoy       Shown with permission

This is the mixed family of James Hayden McCoy and Sarah Matthews.

Hayden was first married to Martha Powers.
      (Bucky McCoy is still looking for information on her.)

Sarah was the daughter of Absolom Jackson "Jack" Matthews and Rebecka Jones
and the sister of Charles Matthews.

She was first married to Milton Hawthorn and had two daughters by him ;
Jessie May and Fannie May.

Hayden and Sarah are seated in the front.
In the upper left second man over is Bucky McCoys father John McCoy, their son.
Behind Sarah is Jennie McCoy and John Newcomb.

Jennie is Hayden's daughter by Martha Powers.

I would guess this was taken early 1900 or so.                                                 Emily Matthews
