12. Brown Co. marriage records Book A #313 has George McCoy m. Nancy Wheeler. This would account for parentage of Alexander McCoy b. 1847, the date of same, and the fact that he is being cared for by Minerva Wheeler Draper 1850.

32. Parents b. MD and Ohio acc. to 1880 census. This seems to indicate he is the same James McCoy who is listed as son of Alexander McCoy Jr. in 1850 (age 8) and 1860 (age 20) censuses.
