Where Is Daniel McCoy's Family Bible?

There was a notation in Daniel McCoy's Revolutionary War pension file for Hon. A. Drum, 23 August 1854, but there were no letters to him or from him in the file.  The Historical Society of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia holds a box of papers for Augustus Drum who was an attorney from Greensburg, Pennsylvania and served one term in Congress (March, 1853-March, 1855).  Since I was visiting family at the end of June in Maryland and Pennsylvania, I decided to see if the Augustus Drum papers would yield any further information on Daniel McCoy.

There were two letters to Augustus Drum asking for his help since the surviving children of Daniel McCoy believed there was money owed to their deceased father from his Revolutionary War pension.
The first letter was from James McCreay, Shelocta, Indiana County, Pennsylvania and was dated 30 June 1854.  He stated in his letter that there were two surviving children of Daniel McCoy, his mother, Mary McCreay, and Joseph McCoy.  It also states that there is a family Bible.

  

The second letter was from James Gordon, Indiana County, Pennsylvania and was dated 25 April 1854.  He states that Daniel McCoy's son, Joseph McCoy, believes there is money owed to his deceased father from his Revolutionary War pension. 

Although Daniel McCoy had at least three daughters based on the early census records, Mary is the only child for whom we have a baptism record.  We know from the first letter that Mary married a man named McCreay and had a son James McCreay.  The 1850 census lists a Samuel McCreay with a wife Polly (Polly was a nickname for Mary) and a son James in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. 

Samuel McCrea 78 born Ireland
Polly 68 born Pennsylvania
James 30 Laborer 

One of the trees on Ancestry.com lists the following daughters of Daniel McCoy but does not list any source(s) for the information:  Mary married to Samuel McCreasy, Margaret married to James McCain, and Nancy married to Nicholas Gordon.  Mary was married to a McCreay and there was a Samuel McCrea in 1850 in Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania where Daniel McCoy was living in the 1820 census.  The name Samuel McCreasy is very similiar to Samuel McCreay.  The letter from James McCreay supports the information in this tree for Daniel McCoy's daughter Mary.

The second letter was from James Gordon.  Daniel McCoy's daughter Nancy was supposedly married to a Nicholas Gordon but no census or other record can be located for a Nicholas Gordon in Armstrong or Indiana County.  It is interesting that James Gordon's surname is the same as that given for the husband of Daniel McCoy's unproven daughter Nancy.

There was a James McKean (similiar to McCain) living in Plum Creek Township in 1820 where Daniel McCoy was living.

I contacted the owner of the family tree on Ancestry.com but she had been given the information by someone and did not have a source for the information.  Since the first letter states there is a family Bible, one can only hope that maybe someone reading this blog will know if it still exists and where a copy of it is available.
