...s/o John McCoy (ca 1817- -??-) and Phebe Roberts (1814-1850).
...Sister: Lucy (1838-1859)
...Brother: William Henry (1842-1865)
Daniel McCoy served four years during the Civil War. He served three years in Company "I" of the 24th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, enlisting as a Private and ultimately becoming Captain of the company. After the 24th disbanded in June 1864, he organized the 175th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment and took the unit to war as Lieutenant Colonel, commanding officer.
Dan participated in twenty-seven battles/skirmishes. He was wounded at the battles of Stone River, Tenn., Chickamauga, Ga., and Franklin, Tenn., receiving a total of five wounds. Three wounds shattered bones, one of which threatened amputation of a leg. An additional nine bullets or shrapnel passed through his uniform. In the closing months of the war he was promoted to Brigadier General of Volunteers by brevet, not yet having reached his 24th birthday.
...Married November 1865 in DuPage County, Illinois, to Eva V. Vallette, a daughter of John Orange Vallette (duplicate memorial John O. Vallette) and Clarinda A. Vallette. Divorced prior to 1878. This contributor's family tradition does not record any children from this first marriage. However, one sentence in a Jackson County, Iowa, newspaper -- when describing the antics of Dan in an incident in Rock Island, Illinois, in May 1873 -- flatly stated that Dan had three children: "McCoy is a man about 35 and has a wife and three children."
If anyone knows of any children born to Dan and Eva Vallette, please contact this contributor.
Dan removed to Iowa in 1866 and was later admitted to the bar in Cedar County. He was a publisher of newspapers in Jackson and Clinton counties for a number of years.
...Married Margaret Ann O'Brien ca 1878.
Children:
...Bertha Mae.
...Irene Hortense.
...Eugene Rollins.
...Daniel O'Brien.

No matter how much the reader may want to believe differently, please know that this Daniel McCoy is NOT the father of Randolph "Randall" McCoy of the Hatfield-McCoy feud as some have claimed. Unfortunately, an overly zealous "copier and paster" lifted a copy of the photo of this Daniel McCoy (at right, in civil war uniform) from a civil war web site and then re-posted to this Daniel McCoy memorial, asserting that it is a photo of the father and grandfather of the McCoy clan involved in the Hatfield-McCoy feud of Kentucky and West Virginia. It is NOT, yet the photo has since been copied and re-posted on McCoy family sites repeating the same wrong information until it has now taken on a misleading life of its own; there are now literally hundreds of family trees on Ancestry.com with this same photo asserting that it is the Daniel McCoy (1795-1885) of the Hatfield-McCoy feud.
