Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 869-870:
John J. McCoig, a retired farmer of Concession 11, Harwich township, County of Kent, was born Feb. 14, 1830, in Argyllshire, Scotland, a son of John and Catherine (McNaughton) McCoig, who were born and reared and married in that country...
     John J. McCoig ... gained his early education in the schools of Scotland, and was thirteen years old when he came to Canada. His youthful life was similar to that of the majority of the farmers' sons of the locality - school in winter and farm work in summer, and he remained under the parental roof until grown to maturity and ready for his marriage. This took place in 1861, to Miss Jane McKerrell, of Chatham township, and he subsequently took the management of the present farm. Here Mrs. McCoig died in 1868, leaving a son, Dougal, who resides near his father on the Hawley farm; he married Christian Taylor, daughter of William Taylor, and they have one daughter, Margaretta. In 1872 Mr. McCoig was married (second) to Miss Amelia Hamil, who was born in 1848, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Kenny) Hamil, and grew up in Harwich. Mr. and Mrs. McCoig then settled on the old homestead, where he erected his present fine brick house in 1890, and he has also put up all the substantial buildings which contribute so much to the air of comfort and prosperity which surrounds this pleasant home.
     In 1869 Mr. McCoig was elected market clerk for the city of Chatham and County of Kent, and filled the office for seven years in all, during which time he resided at Chatham, renting the farm. There he was a large grain and pork buyer for James Lamont, and for three years was engaged in a grocery business there. Since returning to the farm he has continued agricultural life... He was one of the founders of Bethel Presbyterian Church, which was built on land deeded by him for that purpose. All his family are members and liberal supporters of the same. In politics he is identified with the Reform party. He is widely known and most thoroughly respected for his many sterling traits of character.
