1850 Ohio census for William Coyan & family
Notice that the family name is spelled "Coin". More evidence of what I believe is the correct pronunciation, as the census taker in 1850 would have likely written down what he "heard". Notice also that there is a Nancy Coin here. Is she the sister of William - probably - but to date neither Joy Coyan or I have been able to find out if she died or was married before the 1860 census.
Notice also that Hugh's place of birth ca. 1789 or 1790, is MARYLAND!
