In 1830, McCoy came to Kansas where he established a series of Baptist missions throughout the new Indian Territory.

Her last home was built for her by her son, John Calvin McCoy, on Pearl Street in the "new Town of Kansas" (Kansas City), overlooking the Missouri River.

Pepper also states that Simerwell should talk with the Native Indians in his area to see if they are interested in moving west with the others and, if so, to meet at Logansport, Indiana on June 10, 1833. </span> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr></hr> <table> <tr> <td width="100"> <a href="/item/432878"> <img src="https://img.kansasmemory.org/thumb/00790441.jpg" alt="Copper kettle" width="98" /> </a> </td> <td> <p> <a href="/item/432878" title=""> Copper kettle </a> <br /> Date: between 1800 and 1880 <br /> <span style="font-style: italic;" id="item_description_432878"> Large cylindrical copper kettle with handles.
