General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Young McCoy


He first began the practice of medicine in Smethport, McKean County, Pennsylvania, which he continued until failing health necessitated his retirement. By close application to his profession, although beginning poor, he acquired a handsome competency.
He and his wife had ten children, six of whom were still living in 1890.

He was educated in the public schools, and after deciding on the medical profession entered the Cincinnati (Ohio) Medical College, whence he was graduated M.D., class of 1831. He located in Smethport, McKean County, Pennsylvania, among the first, if not the first physician to settle there. He was not only a successful physician, but owned a saw mill and from the abundant pine and hemlock forests manufactured a great deal of lumber that was shipped to Pittsburgh and elsewhere. He also gave a great deal of his time to the public service of McKean County. He was a life-long Democrat, and as such was elected treasurer of the county one term, sheriff one term, and county commissioner one term. He was very popular both as a man and a physician, holding his friends and his practice until his final retirement.
He and his wife were members of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, of which he was senior warden for many years. [GPHNP, 1038]

General Notes: Wife - Charlotte Augusta Darling


She was born in Massachusetts and with her parents removed to Bunker Hill, Pennsylvania, or what was later known as Clermont, in 1822, where her father engaged in the practice of medicine, which he continued until his removal to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.
