Centre Township
p. 353 & 354

Morgan McCoy, one of the enterprising farmers of Centre Township, who has 
contributed largely to its growth, was born in Wayne County, Ind., Feb. 24, 
1818, the second son of Thomas and Margaret McCoy. He was reared on his 
father's farm, receiving such education as was afforded by the schools of 
those days. After reaching maturity he engaged in farming on his own account, 
which he has continued with marked success. He pays special attention to the 
raising of stock and small grain. His farm consists of 320 acres of well 
improved land, on Nolan's Fork, of Whitewater River. In 1852 he built his 
large brick residence, near a spring of pure water, which is drawn to the 
surface by a bucket, with the aid of a wheel and windlass. In 1844 Mr. McCoy 
was married to Elizabeth Neff, daughter of Bastian and Catherine Neff. She was 
a native of Preble County, Ohio, born Nov. 4, 1821, and died Nov. 4, 1869.
