Research Notes

Marriage source has his wife's name as Sallie McKay.

The 1910 Census has four children with the last name of McKoy. Based on this, I would speculate that his wife's, Sarah, maiden name was not McKoy but that she had a first marriage to someone named McKoy. I could not find any record to prove this. If you have a chance, please take a try at it. (29 March 2022)
The only source for the Will information above, was Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/389768:2115). Unfortunately, it is only available to those with a subscription. I could not find the same record on FamilySearch or MyHeritage. (29 March 2022)
