Notes for Jacob Mckoy: Jacob Mckoy nickname was Little One. He died at an early age; I was told by my Aunt Rebecca that Jacob died when he was a young boy. He was playing up in a tree and He jumped out. and landed on an nail in his foot. Then the foot got infected with gangreen and spreaded and he died. To tell the truth I found that mighty strange. Then on May 7, 2003 I spoke to Mrs. Ruth Jones George from Welches Creek, of North Carolina. She is my Aunt Beckeys cousin. Now according to Cousin Ruth, she told me that it wasn't Jacob that died from the nail in his foot. But it was Mrs. Mirilda Mckoy son that died from the nail in his foot at the age 11. This is what Mrs. Ruth George told me that happened to little one (Jacob Mckoy). The Mckoy boys that were the offsprings of Josiah and izzadoria Mckoy were wild. They played very roughly. This was on an evening when the twins had just returned to Welches Creek. So most of the adults were visiting them. So Josiah and Izzadoria were among the people visiting Millie Christine Mckoy. Josiah and Izzadoria left their children home to tend for themself. Wel they didn't do a good job of it this day. Jacob and Josiah Jr. were wresting out in the yard and Josiah got mad and took an ax and snuck up behind jacob (little one) and hit him in the back of his head and spit his head open. After I found this out I kinda believed most of it. I remember when I was about 16 years old and my dad took my cigaretts out of my purse. He was smoking them in front of me. We had an heated arguement. I think he thought I was gonna give up because I had no business with the cirgaretts at all. And if I confess about the cigaretts being mine I would get in trouble. Well being hardheaded ands not thinking that wasn't even my issuse. My thing was that he went in MY purse and took My belongings. He wouldn't give me back my cigaretts. So out of anger I pulled a butcher knife on him in my aunt Beckey house. After that he put my cigaretts on the table in the living room. So you see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
