You will want to check the 1810 census in Springfield Twp, Mercer Co. Thomas McCoy is there with six Deniston households on either side and nearby: Andrew Jr., George, two Williams, James and Alexander. Check the ages to see if one looks like the father. These families do not appear in the 1820 census - I don't know where they went.
My interest is in Andrew Deniston of Slippery Rock Twp, next door to his brother-in-law Charles Gilkey (he married Rebecca Gilkey, b. 1774-'84, probably not long before 1800). This may be a different family from the one in Springfield Twp (that Andrew Deniston Jr. was born before 1784).
