Believed to be a photo of the second child and daughter of Joseph and Salina Adkins McCoy, Cordelia is noted as age 5 on the Van Buren County Tn 1870 census, and as age 15 on the 1880 Van Buren County Tn census. This original photo found among my grandmother Lois McCoy's belongings bares only the notation "Aunt Cordie McCoy Baily" on the back. The photo was taken by L. L. Jordan studio in Glasgow, Barren County, Ky. Whatever became of Cordelia?
