Benjamin COY⁽¹⁰⁵⁰⁾⁽¹⁹⁵⁵⁾⁽¹⁹⁵⁶⁾ was born about 9 Oct 1780 in Washington co, Md.⁽¹⁹⁵⁷⁾ ⁽¹⁹⁵⁸⁾⁽⁴³⁹⁾⁽²⁷⁾ Birthdate calculated from information on gravestone. Alternate date of 29 Sep 1781 appears in Clay Coy book. He appeared on the census on 17 Aug 1850 in 20th Division, Washington Co, Ia.⁽¹⁹⁵⁹⁾ He died on 19 Mar 1855 in Wassonville, Lime Creek Twp, Washington co, Ia. He was buried in Wassonville Cemetary, Section 12, Lime Creek Twp, Washington co, Ia.⁽⁴³⁹⁾ Gives his age as 73 years, 6 months and 10 days. Casts some doubt on the "fact" that he died in Illinois.

This cemetery is located in Section 12 of Lime Creek Township in Washington County, Iowa, about one quarter of a mile north of the thown of Wellman, Iowa. It is a very old cemetery, with one of the founders of Wassonville, Iowa being buried thre. His name was Henry Wasson. To reach this cemetery, go north on G-38 (or Ginkgo Avenue) approximately one-quarter mile north of Wellman and turn west at a farm yard and continue following a tiny winding road that will take you to the south entracne to the cemetery. It has been well kept and surrounded by many trees but a fence is on all sides of it with two wooden gates that one can open easily.

The Coy gravesite is the seventh stone in the fifth row of graves, starting from the west. There is a cement rectangle about 7' by 10' tall, which is almost entirely underground there. He is buried on the very SW corner of that rectangle.

His daughter Hester McCallister is in the next row (row six), beyond a tree. Her stone is the 19th in that row.

According to tradition, he was born in Maryland of Scotch parentage, his parents having emigrated to America through Wales. Moving westward, he went by Boone's Wilderness Road, down the great Appalacian Valley to the headquarters of the Cumberland Gap. The region afterwards to be known as Tennessee and Kentucky was then filled with the exploits of Daniel Boone and stories of fierce savage Indian warfare. In these adventurous times, the Coys were to take their part as pioneers.

Benjamin Coy, settling in Nelson county, Kentucky, came to know Daniel Boone well, and to engage in hunting with him. Boone's old rifle and powder horn were possessions of the Coy family for many years.

In 1820, Benjamin Coy moved from Kentucky to Illinois, settling near what is now Springfield on the Sangamon River. Here they were neighbors and friends of the Lincoln family.

In 1828, the Benjamin Coy family moved once more, this time to Henderson Grove, Knox county, Illinois, about four miles northwest of the present site of Galesburg, this according to source 1.

According to source 2, in 1810 Benjamin Coy resided in Nelson county, Kentucky. His household was made up of one male over 45, 1 male 16-26 years old and 2 males less than 10 years old. In addition there was one female over 45 years old and one female under 10.

According to information on his gravestone, he served in the war of 1812.

The latest evidence of Benjamin in Kentucky is the report of a jury trial at Bardstown, Nelson county, Ky, where Benjamin was awarded $150.01.

The first mention of Benjamin in iowa is in the 1849 Iowa census, which lists Benjamin and six members of his family.

The 1820 Kentucky Census does not list Benjamin.
