General Notes: Husband - John Coyl

---

He came to America in 1791, and to Clearfield Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1800, and settled on the farm known as the Wick farm, later owned by Charles Duffy and others, consisting of a 400-acre tract. He disposed of a large tract of land given him by a Mr. Bell for one horse and a keg of whisky. He made this trade so as to complete a team, he already possessing one horse. He was a weaver by trade, and took linen cloth woven by himself to "Mason's Works," in Fayette County, and exchanged it for salt and iron, which he packed home. In order to protect his sheep and hogs from the ravages of the wolves and bears then to be found in great numbers, they were securely penned up each night.

Coylesville took its name from him.
