For what it's worth (since they are "merely" KEITH spouses):
***
It appears Agnes "McCoy", the wife of George Fleming KEITH, is more correctly noted as Agnes MACKOY. Three sources tend to indicate this:
1. George Thomas KEITH's death certificate (where the informant was his son, Charles William "Charlie" KEITH) shows her as "Makay" (closer to MacKay than to McCoy);
2. Marriage records for Mason County, Kentucky show a George KEITH marrying an Agnes MACKAY;
3. Two listings in the LDS "International Genealogical Index - North America" show George KEITH married to Agnes MACKAY (one of those is here: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=700124297440&lds=1®ion=11®ionfriendly=North+America&frompage=99 ).
IF the LDS source is correct, George Fleming KEITH's wife (married September 12, 1811), Agnes MACKAY was born October 17, 1794 in Campbell County, Virginia, and was the daughter of James Templeton MACKOY, Sr. (b. November 26, 1766; m. December 26, 1793 in Campbell Co., VA; d. September 23, 1843 in Mason Co., KY) and Mary "Polly" WALTON (b. November 21, 1774; d. March 31, 1859 in Mason Co., KY).
HOWEVER, that same source shows Agnes MACKAY died on October 20, 1827, which is very wrong, since she was still alive as of the 1870 census (where Agnes and her husband GFK are living with son George Thomas KEITH).
***
It appears Eliza Jane HARMON (perhaps nicknamed "Lyda"), wife of George Thomas KEITH, is the daughter of Michael Gregg HARMON (1850 census spells his first name as Michele, 1860 shows Michael and 1870 shows "Mike"; b. May 17, 1809 in Germantown, Bracken Co., KY; m. May 18, 1837 in Boone, KY; d. 1893 in Germantown, and buried in the Christian Church Cemetery) and Martha M. WALTON (b. about 1818 in KY; also buried in the Christian Church Cemetery, date unknown at present).
Furthermore, IF the LDS data on Agnes MACKOY's mother (Mary "Polly" WALTON) is correct, then Agnes MACKOY is both Eliza Jane HARMON's mother-in-law AND her 1st cousin, once removed.
This is because Eliza Jane HARMON's mother (Martha M. WALTON) was the daughter of Robert WALTON, and Agnes MACKOY's mother (Mary "Polly" WALTON) was Robert WALTON's sister.

If i discover further data on the spouses of George Fleming KEITH or George Thomas KEITH, i expect it should be posted on the surname pages of the wives, but it seemed to me that this much belonged here, as a cross-reference anchor.
