Shelly Cox, a dear friend of this page, submitted this rare image. She wrote, “This is Sarah Sally Runyon McCoy (1827-1909), the wife of William “Billy” McCoy, son of Daniel & Margaret (Taylor) McCoy.”

After a short courtship, Billy married Sarah Runyon, who was a beautiful and strong mountain woman, in April 1843.

Like many young people from the period of US expansion, Sarah and William chose, shortly after marrying, to travel westward to seek their fortune, likely traveling by wagon train. They eventually settled in picturesque Buchanan County, near Halls, Missouri. Yet, it was a challenging time for early settlers-and also a time of dirt farmers, desperados, and cowpokes.

“William ended up dying after being struck by lightning while chopping wood with his son,” Shelly added.

William was born in Pike County, Kentucky, on Dec. 27, 1822, and passed in Buchanan County, Missouri, on June 25, 1869.

“William McCoy is my 3x Great Grandfather,” Shelly said. See less

She’s lovely! The smile is so contagious. She doesn’t look 47 though. I understand hard life can be rough, but she appears to have lived longer than that to me.
