Research

Pertaining to the Research Notes entry (above), The United States Census recorded Mary Johnson's place of birth as Pennsylvania.

• See sources below.

NOTE: It's curious why Mary's surname appears to be McCoy since both her parents had different last names. Perhaps, McCoy is Mary's middle name like her husband's middle name was Armstrong. In past years, last names were frequently given for middle names. Other surnames, just to name a few, that the family had used for middle names were Lewis, Thompson, Taylor, Johnson, and Armstrong.
