HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY. 349
The families who " pitched their tents" together when they first came to Tiffin Twp. were those of Jacob (Sr), Mary (nee Jones) John (Jr) and Adam Coy, and John Snider (his wife Nancy nee Coy) and Jacob (and his wife Susanna nee Coy)and George Hall. (brothers)
We are enabled to give the following sketch of Mary Conrad, whose maiden name was Mary Jones, and whose first husband was John Coy and second husband Oliver Conrad (aka Worlley Coonrad). She was born 13 Aug 1787 on the present site of Booneboro, Ky .(aka Boonesbourough Madison Co.) , in the early days of Indian hostilities, and experienced the privations of that era. She sought refuge in Boone's Fort, and soon after located in Greene County, where she married John Coy, by whom she had nine children. Mr. Coy died in 1823, and after eight years, she, with the old spirit of frontier life, moved into what is now Tiffin Township, when there were but seven families residing therein, who all pitched one tent on the banks of Tiffin River near the present residence of Thomas Rethmel. Mrs. Coy, after remaining a widow for years, married Oliver Conrad. She was a fine shot, and found the accomplishment
of service 'in protecting her crops. She was energetic and firm as adamant, and beloved by all who knew her. She died in the faith of Jesus Christ at the age of eighty-three. She died December I3, 1870, at her daughter Nancy's (Mrs. John Snider), and was buried at Evansport.
