Corporal, Company E, LTC Richard Musser's 8th Infantry Battalion, Missouri State Guard (Confederate).

Coy's family recorded that he died "along the Osage [River]" in October 1864. In October, Coy's unit fought in the battle of Mine Creek, also known as the battle of the Osage. It's likely that Coy was killed or fatally wounded in this Confederate defeat or died from disease along the way.

A local 19th century county history stated that Coy died at the Battle of Pea Ridge (March 1862), but Coy had not yet joined the Confederate army and appears on the Federal government's list of men eligible to be drafted in Chariton County (1863).
