Conrad Stoy was born on 18 July 1819 at Hesse-Kassel (calculated from age on tombstone.)^5,2,4

"Konrad Stey" arrived in the United States in 1837 from the area of Hesse-Kassel (a region near the present city of Kassel). This is most likely Conrad Stoy - there is no alternative person, the arrival agrees with biographical information for Conrad, and Stey has been changed to Stoy in other cases. The area of Hesse-Kassel is shown in an attached image.⁶

Conrad married first Caroline Weyand circa 1841.⁷

Conrad married second Mary Bowser, daughter of John Bowser and Susan Hensel, circa 1844.^8,7

He lived in Larimer Township, Somerset County, in the 1840s.

A note on Conrad Stoy stated: “Conrad Stoy Sr. worked or helped to build the B & O RR. Sandpatch Tunnel, Somerset County when he first came to America. His first wife died after the birth of his second child. A well known local farmer, at whose house Conrad was staying, welcomed the two small children to live with them. His daughter, Mary Bowser, later became Conrad's second wife and bore him six children.
He prospected for limestone to be burnt to sweeten the prevailing acid soils. He did much prospecting immediate west of the town of Somerset. Later he moved to the neighborhood of Reel's Corner and acquired nearly 1,000 acres of land. This acreage was sold after his death by his heirs for a nominal sum. During the ownership of the new owner, it was discovered that the acres were underlaid with very valuable seams of coal and was sold for many times its purchase price.”
This information agrees with the data in the 1850 census for Conrad Stoy of Somerset County, Pennsylvania. However, the timing of Conrad's working on the Sand Patch tunnel may be off - the construction appears to have begun in 1854, at least 10 years after Conrad came to the US.^7,9

Yesterday afternoon a Record-Union reporter interviewed the prisoner. He denied all knowledge of the affair and says he can prove that he was in Folsom at the time of the alleged attempted asassination. . . . ‘They once had me in an insane asylum in Nevada’ said Mr Stoy ‘and they kept me nearly sixteen months in the Stockton Asylum and I was as sane as any man. . . .’”

On 8 Mar 1888 the paper reported: “Constable John McComber yesterday brought to the county jail, from Folsom, C D Stoy, who was on Tuesday committed by Justice of the Peace J H Sturgess on a charge of assault to murder. . . .”

On 19 Jun 1888 the Sacramento Daily Union reported: “C D Stoy was convicted by a jury in Department One of the Superior Court yesterday of assault with intent to commit murder, and will receive his sentence on Friday. . . . The testimony in the case was entirely circumstantial, but it made a very strong chain of evidence. The motive appears to have been revenge, for having been discharged from the vineyard in November last. . . . In finding the defendant guilty as charged the jury recommended him to the mercy of the Court. Stoy has once been in the insane asylum and Judge Armstrong remarked that he was evidently the kind of man who might commit such acts as the one for which he was tried, but there was not sufficient evidence of insanity to warrant his being sent to an asylum.”

On 7 Jul 1888, the Daily Alta California paper reported: “This afternoon C D Stoy, convicted for shooting Dave Finch near Folsom, last February, was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment at Folsom. . . .”.^5,6,7,8,9

Cyrus was buried at Elmwood Cemetery, Waterloo, Black Hawk Co, Iowa.⁹

Cyrus Samuel Stoy was born on 2 December 1841 at Dungannon, Columbiana Co, Ohio.^3,4,1,2

Note - - Cyrus Samuel Stoy is listed as a son of John Stoy based on the record that he was born in Dungannon, Columbiana County, Ohio, which is in Hanover Township where John was located in the 1840 census. Also, the 1880 census states his father was born in either Ohio or Pennsylvania and his mother in Ohio, which is consistent with the birth locations of John and Elizabeth Stoy. The problem is that Cyrus Samuel doesn't appear in the 1850 census with the family, but there is a Lazarus Stoy, age 9, in the 1850 census and he does not appear in any later records. My best guess is that Cyrus Samuel is the same person as Lazarus - more data to substantiate this are needed. I've included both names in this database for the time being.^3,2

He saw military service during the Civil War when he served in the 9th Regiment, Ohio Cavalry. He entered service 7 Aug 1863 as a private when he was 21 [consistent with his birth date in 1841] and was mustered out with the company as a 1^st sergeant.

Dale Franklin Stoy died on 6 January 1998 at age 93.⁴

Daniel Stoy was born in 1741/42 (he gave his age as about 76 in his pension application 28 May 1818, and as age 78 in another application on 29 August 1820; an article by his great-grandson George F Spangler in 1912 stated his birthdate as 3 May 1738 in England - this date and location cannot be verified by other records.)^4,5

Note - - Daniel Stoy is listed as a son of Petter Stey based on several facts. Daniel and Peter Stoy (likely son of Petter Stey) of Philadelphia had land dealings in Quemahoning Township, Somerset County; Daniel was a popular name in the Philadelphia Stoy families; and his birth date agrees with Petter's marriage date. More evidence would be nice to have but, for now, I will assume Petter is the father of Daniel.

He claimed in his pension application of 28 May 1818 that he had been a resident of Somerset County for 59 years, implying he arrived in the county (Bedford at the time) in 1759 at about age 18 - there was no indication in his application of his origin. This is consistent with other sources that suggest he was there as early as 1762. This also implies that he likely married in Bedford/Somerset County (assuming he was over age 18 at marriage).

Many family histories of Daniel use the information in George F Spangler's article of 1912 but, unfortunately, it's hard to tell what is fact from fiction. To pick on one glaring discrepancy, G F says that Daniel and wife Sarah resided in Conshohockin, Pennsylvania, for a time after arriving in this country and that Margaret, their youngest daughter, was born there 15 Oct 1780. By his own account Daniel was in Somerset County by 1759 at about age 18 and various records have him located there until his death (except for his war service) - there is no reliable record that suggests he was in Conshohockin.^4,6

Daniel married Sarah Higgins circa 1770.

Daniel Stoy obtained a warrant for 150 acres in Brothersvalley Township, Bedford County (now Somerset), on 21 Mar 1774, which was surveyed 19 Aug 1784 and then returned to the Land Office 1 Apr 1788 (showing 326.5 acres). At that time he patented the land and it was recorded in Vol. P, No. 14, page 65. The survey was recorded in Book C193, page 249 and can be seen on-line at the Pennsylvania State Archives web site. This property was situated on both sides of the Pennsylvania Road about one mile west from Stoney Creek, mostly on the north side of the road in Quemahoning Township.⁷

During the war “Daniel Stoy was chosen to take command of twenty-nine Riflemen raised at Bedford and to march to Carlisle and remain there until the whole Company was made up. When the Company was formed Robert Claggeth was elected Capt., Richard Brown First Lieut., John Halloday Second Lieut. And he Third Lieut. They marched to headquarters where Robert McKenney, a nephew of Col. Wm. Thompson, who took Stoy’s place, and he became Sergeant the rest of his time. In 1776 they marched to New York and from there to Langis Land (Long Island), from there he was home as a Recruiting Sergeant and was in this service one year and then discharged, which discharge has been lost. In 1777 he moved within four miles of Bedford, and for fear of Indians the county Lieut. issued orders for the inhabitants to raise a Company for two months. This they did, and also raised a Block House. The men Stoey paid out of his own funds. Part of this was paid him, but as his pay roll could not be found he had not received the remainder due him. He is seventy years of age, his wife is about the same age."⁸

His name appeared on a 1776 Quemahoning Township assessment in in Somerset Co, Pennsylvania. He had 100 acres with 4 acres cultivated and 94 uncultivated, and he had one cow.

At that time he patented the land and it was recorded in Vol. P, No. 48, page 344. The survey was recorded in Book C215, page 105, which can be seen on-line at the Pennsylvania State Archives web site.

The Stoy given names were Ben, Jas, George, Mich, Girard, Philip, Pedro, Titus, Jn^o, and William, which were identical to many of the given names of other applicants who had surnames Todd, Pew, Laru, Sands, and Tom. It appears that the application had many invented people - none of the Stoy surnames can be traced to any known Stoy in Bedford County; whether the applications were permitted is unknown because the Pennsylvania Land Office contains no further information on these people.^25,26,27

Daniel Stoy Jr was born before 1786 (based on being at least age 21 in the assessement roll of 1807.)

At the time of the 1790 census, he is most likely one of the young males under 16 in his father's household.

At the time of the 1800 census, he is most likely one of the young males age 16-26 in his father's household.

Daniel married [-?-] [-?-] circa 1805 (based on birth of son John Ludwig.)

He appeared as Daniel Stoy Jun^r in the 1807 assessment rolls for Quemahoning Township, in Somerset Co, Pennsylvania. He apparently resided next to John Stoy. Daniel had one horse, one house and one lot – the valuation was $85 and the tax 43 cents.²

He appeared as Daniel Stoy Jr in the 1808 assessment rolls next to John Stoy for Quemahoning Township, in Somerset Co, Pennsylvania. Daniel had one horse, one house and one lot – the valuation was $70 and the tax 42 cents.³

A Daniel Stoy appeared in the 1818 assessment rolls for Quemahoning Township, in Somerset Co, Pennsylvania. He had 91 acres, one house and one lot with a valuation of $246 and a tax of 74 cents. This is likely an entry for Daniel Stoy Sr even though he was usually referred to as Daniel Stoy Esq in the assessment rolls. The lack of a Jr or Sr suggests that there was only one Daniel Stoy (and that was Sr). If this speculation is correct, then Daniel Jr died c.1809 because he did not appear in the assessment rolls after 1808 and was not found in the 1810 census.⁴

No other records of Daniel Jr have been located other than a reference to his marrying a Miss Shedrick in the 1912 article by G F Spangler.

She was mentioned in the obituary of Margaret Malinda Biggs on 4 June 1896; "Died, at her home on Elm street, Waynesburg, Pa., on Thursday morning, at 5 o'clock, May 28, 1896, of dropsy of the heart, Mrs. Margaret M. Stoy, wife of Captain W. H. Stoy, aged 69 years, 7 months and 12 days. Mrs. Stoy was the daughter of Allen Biggs, deceased, and was born at West Liberty, W. Va., Oct. 16, 1826, and was married to Capt. Stoy, at Middlebourne, Guernsey county, O., April 4, 1844. She came of good stock and was connected with noble ancestry. She was the cousin of the Hon. Benjamin T. Biggs, governor of Delaware in 1887. She raised a large family of children, ten in number, who are all living, as follows: Mrs. Mary Sullivan, of Pittsburg., Pa., Mrs. Lottie Albertson, Of Washington, D.C., Mr. Henry W. Stoy, of Guthrie Center, Iowa, Mrs. Lillie Morrison of St. Joseph, Mo., Mr. Gus A. Stoy, druggist, Mrs. Dollie Hawkins and Frank W. Stoy, of Waynesburg, Pa., Mrs. Jennie Clayton and George B. Stoy, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Mrs. Katherine Stich, of Independence, Kan. She was the only sister of four brothers, who are left to mourn her death, as well as a large circle of near kindred and friends. Her death is the first that has ever occurred in this family, and is, therefore, the more sad and heart-felt. Mrs. Stoy was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church for many years, but her life was spent largely within the domain of her own home. She lived an exclusive, quiet, christian life, raising a large family, in whom her devotion was unceasing. She was a kind, good mother, a devoted wife, and a God-fearing christian. Having lived a life of christian virtues, enduring its ceasless rounds of burdens and cares of raising a large family, and in the latter years of her life waiting by the bedside of an afflicted and helpless husband, who required her constant help day and night, thus sapping away her life by degree; yet she bore it all patiently and lovingly without a murmur or complaint. Her life was indeed sacrificed upon the altar of her home for the love and sympathy she had for her children and for the devotion she had for her husband whom she had trothed to minister unto in health as well as in affliction.

Hers was truly a life of patience, duty, love and christian fortitude, and it is well with the sweet, kind manner that she so quietly and meekly obeyed the summons of her Master, although she is called away just in the mature years of her noble womanhood, and would have enriched her home and community more and more with the influence of her many virtues if spared a little longer--but she has joined the innumerable throng across the horizon's verge. And thus stripped of life now lies cold and motionless in the unbroken calm of the grave. Nothing now can give her pain, trouble or anxiety, concerning the welfare of her children, the deep sad affliction of her husband, all of whom she loved so well. Words are meaningless in this hour of mourning which drapes that home.

Alas! words cannot tell how that home is empty since the grave is filled. The long, midnight watch is o'er; the tender solicitude, the deep, earnest, yearning for her family and home have all vanished in the mystic dreamland of death. Often doubtless in the deep, tender privacy of her life, when in soul touch with her God in the solitude of the closet, she experienced the rich blessing of her Savior and his precious promises of eternal life as she poured out to him the burdens of her soul. God grant that she is realizing now the fullness of those promises and the joy of that immortal life beyond, for which she longed and lived while upon earth. Kind, good, loving mother, farewell!

Appropriate funeral services were conducted at the late home on Saturday eve, May 30, 1896, at 5 o'clock p.m. by Rev. R. S. Calder, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Dr. A. B. Miller of the C. P. church, after which the remains were laid to rest in Green Mount Cemetery, witnessed by a large concourse of relatives and friends.
