Individual Details

Benjamin McCoy and Letty Prater carried on a long-term affair and most if not all of Letty's children are believed to belong to Benjamin McCoy. Records for Letty's children either name Benjamin as their father, or allude to Benjamin being their father. Letty lived with Benjamin for many years, and when Benjamin got married, Letty moved out but lived nearby. -- Tamara Maggard, Genealogy.Com Pike Co., KY Forum 1/16/12
