    Link to Google MapsCensus 1850 - Is this the Rachel McCoy that married Micajah or a different one? M.is living with a woman named Elizabeth, that he may have married at some point in the early 1850's, and he couldn't have done that unless there was a divorce which seems unlikely. - 1850 - Pike County, Kentucky Link to Google Earth
