1810 - The 1810 Federal Census Records for Fauquier County, Virginiado not show a Joseph Washington McCoy as being listed in the index.There are no available census records for this year from AugustaCounty, Virginia. So, we may assume that Joseph, with his family,left Virginia for Ohio prior to 1810. There are no Federal CensusRecords for Augusta and surrounding counties due to the records beingburned during the War of 1812. However, there are a few tax recordsfor that time period, but not complete records.
1820 - The 1820 Federal Census Records for Coshocton County,Washington Township, Ohio does show a Joseph McCoy senior and a JosephMcCoy junior with a Henry McCoy, and a Samuel McCoy as heads ofhouseholds in the same area along with Norris, Graves, Taylor, andSlaughter families. (A partial copy of the 1820 Census for CoshoctonCounty, Ohio with the McCoy's listed, is in the research section ofthe McCoy Family Volume.)

The death date year has been aseither 1840-1842 in a couple of resources, however his will indicatesthat the date is actually 1840.
According to B. Isabel Lockard's book, p.1, It is stated that, "Joseph and Mildred Amelia McCoy and their family arrived in CoshoctonCounty, Ohio , on Christmas Eve., 1806. They located first inZanesville, Muskingum County, then settled in the SouthWest corner ofVirginia Twp., Sect. 25." However, the land index record shows Josephpurchasing the Sect. 23 as seen below. There may be more land hepurchased as did his father John McCoy over a period of years.

1806 - IN 1806, JOSEPH W. MCCOY SR. WOULD BE 40 YEARS OLD WHEN ALL OFTHEM MOVED TO OHIO, AND IF JOHN MCCOY WERE STILL LIVING HE WOULD BE 80SOME YEARS OLD. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I HAVE NO CONFIRMATION THATJOHN MCCOY ACTUALLY DIED EARLIER, SO THIS SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND.

1787 - "On the 1787 state census for VA, there is listed as 21 yearsold in Fauquier Co. The person listed as "charged with his tax" isJoseph Slaughter. This would, to my understanding, be the man he isworking for or a partner of some sort. Joseph Slaughter is the fatherof Tacy Slaughter who married John Joseph McCoy, the son of JosephWashington McCoy.

1793 - From correspondence with Anna Gerhart Kier:
"On September 29, 1793, the Rev. Denny Fairfax leased 456 acres inFauquier County to Joseph McKoy of Fauquier County. The parcel was lotNo. 130, part of the Manor of Leeds, and the lease was for the"natural lives of him said Joseph, James and Betsey his children".Other references to Joseph in Fauquier County were the 1787 PersonalProperty Tax Lists where he was counted the same day (March 15) asJohn McCoy, Joseph Slaughter, and Joseph Williams. It was noted thatJoseph McCoy was16-21 years of age and that Joseph Slaughter wascharged with his tax. On the previous day were listed William Wrightand William Wright, Jr. Two days later Samuel Taylor and George Taylorwere visited. At the 1800 Tax List, Joseph McCoy, in Pickett'sdistrict, was charged for one free tithable and three horses. JosephMcCoy gave consent at Fauquier County for his daughter, Elizabeth, tomarry Joseph Wright 26 Dec. 1803."
The following is from "The Historical Record of the Knisely-Wolf andNorris-McCoy Families" by J.C. Knisely (1923):
"Joseph McCoy, Sr. was born January 15, 1766, probably in Virginia,and it is known who his first wife was except that her given name wasMilly. Neither is it known when she was born or died.
"This Mr. McCoy and his first wife, with their family, came fromRockingham County, Virginia, to Muskingdom County, Ohio, and settledin the wilderness very early in the nineteenth century, and lived onthis farm until his death."
[The author then lists the children of Joseph and his two wives.]
"...Joseph McCoy was hurt while handling some colts in his barn, andhe died two days later from the injury, his death being sometime about1840 or 1842, reckoning from the fact that he died about two yearsbefore my Grandfather Norris [Knisely was the grandson of WilliamNorris, Jr. who married Margaret McCoy] left Ohio. Aunt Martha Smith,from memory, thinks he was about 84 years old when he died, butaccording to this and his date of birth, he was only about 75 or 76years old at the date of his death."

From "The 1985 History of Coshocton County, Ohio" (Taylor Publishin,1985); this portion from the early founders of Virginia Twp."
"Other early settlers were Joseph Wright and his father-in-law, JosephMcCoy, 1806; James Norris, 1807; and his brother, Joseph, Daniel,William and his father, William, Sr., in 1806. All of the above camefrom Virginia."

Following Millie's death, Joseph married Nancy Norris, the sister ofhis sons-in-law.

On the 1820 US Census for Washington Twp., Coshocton, OH (p.31) JosephMcCoy, Sr. is listed as a head of household. There are 5 people in thehome, one working in agriculture. Males: Under 10 = 1, 10-16 = 1, Over45 = 1(Joseph). Females: Under 10 = 1, 10-16 = 1, Over 45 = 1(Millie).
Joseph, Jr. is living next door, and there are a number of otherMcCoys and Norrises living in the direct vicinity.

On the 1830 US Census for Virgnia Twp., Coshocton Co., OH (p. 012)Joseph and family are listed. Those in the home are as follows. Males:5-10 = 1, 10-15 = 1, 15-20 = 3, 60-70 = 1 (Joseph). Females: 5-10 = 1,10-15 = 2, 15-20 = 1, 30-40 (Joseph's 2nd wife, Nancy Norris).

On the 1840 US Census for Virginia Twp., Coshocton there is a JosephMcCoy listed in Virginia Twp., Coshocton Co., OH (p. 353). In the homethere is one male 15-20, one male 70-80, one female 5-10, one female15-20, and one female 40-50.

The will of Joseph McCoy was written on Feb. 29, 1840, and probated onFeb. 4, 1841. This is its transcript:
"Joseph McCoy's Will. Joseph McCoy, deceased. Will, probate, & court.The State of Ohio, Coshocton county, afs. Called Court of Common Pleasto wit on the fourth day of February Ann Domine, eighteen hundred andforty-one.
"Be it remembered that, now, to wit on the day and year aforesaid, thelast will and testament of Joseph McCoy late of Coshocton Countydeceased was this day produced in writing, and Joseph McMorris andAndrew Walker, two credible witnesses thereunto being in open court,were duly sworn and severally examined, and whose testimony was takenin writing. Signed and duly filed, and it appearing to the court fromthe above testimony of said witnesses that the said last will andtestament was duly executed, that the testator at the time ofexecuting the same, was of full age of sound mind and memory and notunder any restraint. It is by the court ordered that said last willand testament, together with the proof thereof be recorded by theclerk of the court and that letters testamentary, with a copy of thesaid will annexed, be issued to Daniel McCoy, one of the executorsnamed therein (Joseph Wright the other executor named therein havingdeclined to serve). Whereupon the said Daniel McCoy appeared in opencourt and accepted said appointment. Thereupon it is ordered by theCourt that he give bond in the sum of Five thousand dollars,conditioned as the law directs. Daniel Norris, William Norris, JohnMcCoy, Samuel McCoy, Alexander McCoy, James Graves & Joseph Wright areaccepted as securities; and Newman Smith, Albert Wright and Hiram Darrare appointed to appraise the property of said estate.
"Which said will together with the proof thereof reads as follows:
'In the name of the benevolent Father of All, I Joseph McCoy of thecounty of Coshocton in the State of Ohio do make and publish this mylast will and testament.
'First. It is my wish and will that my wife Nancy at my death,according to an agreement made between us before our marriage, takethe property which belongs to her at that time, and as long as sheremains my widow receive her support out of my estate. But if she isnot satified with this, it is my will that instead of the above, orthe one third of my estate, she recieve two beds, six head of sheep,Two cows, Household furniture suitable to keep house with and threehundred dollars in cash.
'Second. The heirs of my oldest son James who left me in Virginia,shall have no share in or of my estate.
'Third. It is my will that my two youngest children Mahala and Jane,shall have one bed and bedding, and one hundred dollars each, out ofmy estate before it is divided.
'Fourth. That these my two youngest children shall have equal shareswith my other children in the remainder of my property.
'Fifth. I do hereby nominate and appoint Joseph Wright and DanielMcCoy, both of Coshocton County, executors of this my last will andtestament, hereby authorizing and empowering them to compromise,adjust, release, and discharge, in such manner as they may deemproper, the debts and claims due me. I do also authorize and empowerthem, if it shall become necessary in order to pay my debts, to sellby private or public sale upon credit or otherwise, as they may thinkproper, all or any part of my Real Estate and to execute deedstherefor to the purchases thereof in fee simple. My said executors maykeep said Real Estate from sale as long as they think it advisable forthe interest of my heirs, but not longer than when my youngest childshall have attained the age of eighteen.
'I do hereby revoke all former will by me made.
'In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29thday of February, A.D. 1840.
'Joseph [his mark] McCoy
'Signed and acknowledged by the said Joseph McCoy as his last will andtestament in our presence and signed by us in his presence.
'Benjamin Adams, Joseph McMorris, Andrew Walker'
"The State of Ohio, Coshocton county, Court of Common Pleas, calledcourt to wit, the fourth day of February A.D. 1841.
"Be it remembered that on the day and year aforesaid, personallyappeared in open court, Joseph McMorris and Andrew Walker, who beingduly sworn according to law, depose and say that they are two of thesubscribing witness to the last will and testament of Joseph McCoy,late of Virginia township, Coshocton county, deceased. That saidJoseph McCoy was of full age of sound mind and memory, and not underany restraint within the knowledge of these deponents, that theyattested and subscribed said will as witnesses, in the presence of thetestator, and saw the testator subscribe the same.
"Joseph McMorris, Andrew Walker
"Sworn to and subscribed in open court, the date last above written.Attest, A. W. Gorraw, Clerk."

A couple of comments about the above will. The most interesting lineof the will is that "the heirs of my oldest son James who left me inVirginia, shall have no share in or of my estate." As I read it, thiscomment could be intrepretted a couple of ways. First, that James leftJoseph behind when the family moved to Ohio. This would be unusual asJoseph was only 40 years old when he moved to Ohio in 1806, and stillhad children at home. Hardly the sort of situation where a childabandoned a parent in need. Second, perhaps this James left Joseph inVirginia on some visit later in life, and that is why Joseph is upset.Thirdly, perhaps James didn't leave Joseph behind as it appears whenfirst read, but instead "left" refers to James leaving home. Perhapshe had a disagreement, and "left" his father's home. I am inclinedtoward this last explanation, but more data is needed.
Through correspondence with Anna Gerhart Kier, a Norris descendant, Ilearned that a marriage bond was filed in Fauquier Co., Va on Mar. 5,1787 for a Joseph McCoy and Mary William, with consent being given bytheir parents -- John 'McKey' and Joseph Williams. It is quitepossible that the James mentioned Joseph's will is from this firstshort-lived marriage.
The other point to mention is the two youngest children Mahala andJane. Why would he make a point of singling them out? Surely becausethey are still minors, but I believe there is another reason. I thinkMahala and Jane are the product of Joseph's second marriage to NancyNorris. As children of a second marriage, perhaps Joseph feelsinclined to look after their future, just as he makes a point oflooking after his second wife, Nancy."

Topic of Discussion: John McCoy is in the next several sources listedbelow. Please keep in mind that more research still needs to be doneas yet. The next step in the research will be to continue to traceimmigration records. We (Michael & I) do know that John McCoy wasin Orange County in 1735, because of the importation and land recordlisted below. We have estimated his birth around c.1705 and his deathnow between 1790-1791 (see census notes), making him in his early 80'swhen he died. Which is very feasible, in so far as, he lived in thesame area and on the same land for many years, and as time went on theworking of the land would have been easier and easier as it wascultivated contributing to his longevity. He did not endure some ofthe hardships as other pioneers who moved from state to state didwhich gave him a definite advantage health wise. We also know thatFauquier County was formed from a good part of Orange County. It isvery probable that the land owned by John McCoy was from Orange Countyto Fauquier County easily enough with the county boundary changes whenthey occurred. The maps of 1738 and 1770 of that area certainly doindicate definite boundary changes. John may even have owned land inother counties as well. Research on this issue needs to be done yetas well. It is difficult to say for sure as yet how many marriagesJohn McCoy may even have had. We are suspecting that he was marriedat least once before Nancy. When we do get a chance to startresearching the children we will know more about this hopefully. Wedo also suspect that Joseph Washington McCoy was not born inRockingham County as many folks have speculated. Though the issueactually has not been resolved, Joseph's birth more likely occurred inFauquier County by our estimates of land records and county boundarychange dates.

"PRESBYTERIAN EXODUS FROM COUNTY LONGFORD IN 1729
by Thomas J. Barron;http://www.from-ireland.net/long/hist/preslong1729.htm
Published in Breifne
1729"
EXCERPTS: "The next, minister was Rev. James Bond who was ordained in1722.
It was during Mr Bond's ministry in, Corboy that an exodus from thedistrict was organized by a Col. Charles Clinton, a copy of whosediary of the journey across the Atlantic to America is preserved inthe New York State Library. I am much indebted to Mr Victor Murphy, amember of the Corboy Church, for the loan of this very interestingdocument.
First we must find the reasons why there was such great unrest amongstthe Presbyterians in Ireland at this time which forced thousands ofthem to flee from the country in spite of the great hardshipsencountered in crossing the Atlantic and settling in untamed andundeveloped country. In the later part of 1728 Primate Boultertransmitted to the secretary of state in England the following'melancholy account' as he called it, of the state of the North and ofthe extensive emigration which was taking place to America:
"We have had for several years some agents from the colonies inAmerica, and several masters of ships, that have gone about thecountry and deluded the people with stories of great plenty andestates to be had for going for, in those parts of the world; and theyhave been the better able to seduce people by reason of thenecessities of the poor of late, The people that go from hence makegreat complaints of the oppressions they suffer here, not from thegovernment, but from their fellow subjects of one kind or another, aswell as the dearness of provisions, and say these oppressions are onereason for their going. But whatever occasions their going, it iscertain that 4,200 men women, and children have been shipped off fromhence to the West Indies within three years; and of these about 3,100this last summer. The whole North is in a ferment at present andpeople every day engaging one another to go next year to the WestIndies. The humour has spread like contageous distemper and thepeople, will hardly hear anyone that will cure them of their madness.The worst is that it affects only Protestants and reigns chiefly inthe North, which is the seat of our linen manufacture."
"The Dublin authorities alarmed by the extensive emigration fromUlster consulted Presbyterian ministers on the subject. The answer ofone of the presbyteries has been preserved. They specify thediscouragements under which they lay, by the Sacramental Testexcluding them from all places of public trust and honour as among thechief causes of driving them to other parts of the of the empire whereno such discouragements existed. But they also state that :the badseasons for three years past, together with the high price of landsand tithes, have all contributed to the general run to America, and tothe ruin of many families, who are leaving their houses and landsdesolate.
This, then, is the background of the tragic story contained in thediary of Colonel Charles Clinton, who led the exodus from CountyLongford. The company included a Mr Cruise, evidently the owner of theship, who was accompanied by at least eight un-named 'servants' whodied on the journey. These 'servants' were men who had contracted withthe master of the ship for four years' servitude and release aftertheir arrival in America. As a native Irishman, Cruise would have beenglad to encourage and facilitate the settlers in their exit from hiscountry.
From Primate Boulter's statement to the secretary of state in Englandwe learn that there were in March
1729, seven ships at Belfast carrying off about 1,000 passengers toAmerica; which enables us to arrive at about an average of 150passengers to each ship. According to Clinton's diary 83 passengersdied during the 23 weeks' journey; so at least half of the pilgrimsgoing to a freer life than what they had known in Ireland, perished atsea. Strange to say little clue is given as to the cause of thedeaths, except that it is stated that Clinton's daughter, Katherine,and his son James were the first to become ill with measles on2 June;Katherine dying on 2 August, and, James on 28 August.
In 1718 a minister in Ulster wrote to a friend in Scotland that noless that six ministers had left their congregations and gone off tothe American plantations taking great numbers of their people alongwith them............In 1729, the year the Longford people set off,the Irish were coming to Philadelphia in such large numbers as toalarm the Quaker and English inhabitants, for, in a statement to theCouncil in that year the Deputy Governor of the Province said:
"It looks as if Ireland is to send all its inhabitants hither, forlast week, no less that six ships arrived, and every day two or threearrive also. The common fear is that if they continue to come theywill make themselves masters of the province."
It-should also be noted that not the least of Presbyterian grievanceswas that marriages' performed by a Presbyterian minister were notmarriages by law nor were they valid 'till 1782.

1729 - EXCERPT: "Name: Charles CLINTON, Col.
Birth: 1690 in Co. Longford, Corbay, Ireland
Death: 19 Nov 1773 in Little Britain, New York
Fact 1: 20 May 1729 Emigrated from Ireland and settled Little Britainin Ulster (Orange County)
Fact 2: He was a judge, militia officer, surveyor, and landspeculator.
After the death of his father, Charles leased his estate to the Earlof Granard for 99 years, chartered a vessel and came to America in1729 with his family, relatives and many friends. They purchased landin Orange Co. then called Ulster. They renamed the place 'LittleBritain."
"Charles Clinton, the only son of James, was born in the County ofLongford, in Ireland, in 1690. He resolved in 1729 to emigrate toBritish America and having persuaded a number of his friends andrelatives to join him, he chartered a ship, for the purpose ofconveying his colony to Philadelphia. The name of this 'good vessel orship', was the 'George and Anne', of Dublin, burthen about ninetytons, and was chartered by Charles Clinton, George Lille, RobertFrazer, William Hamilton, and Thomas Dunlop, for themselves and sixtyfive others.
On the 20th of May, the ship left Ireland. After being at sea for sometime, it was discovered that the captain had formed a design ofstarving his passengers to death, either with the view to obtain theirproperty or to deter emigration. Several of the passengers actuallydied, among whom were a son and daughter of Mr. Clinton. In this awfulsituation it was proposed by the passengers to seize the captain andcommit the navigation of the vessel to Mr. Clinton, who was anexcellent mathematician; but with the officers of the ship refusing toco-operate with them, they were deterred from this proceeding from theapprehension of incurring the charge of piracy."
They were finally compelled to commute with the captain for theirlives by paying a large sum of money; who, accordingly, landed them atCape Cod on the 4th of October. Mr. Clinton and his friends continuedin that part of the country until the spring of 1731, when theyremoved to the county of Ulster, in the province of New York, andformed a flourishing settlement called Little Britain."http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rohl/

1729 - "EXCERPT: CHARLES CLINTON, the son of this marriage, and thegrandfather of DE WITT CLINTON, was born in the county of Longford, inIreland, in 1690. In 1729 he determined to emigrate to America. Beinga man of influence, he prevailed upon a large number of his neighborsand friends to remove with him. He sailed from Dublin in a vesselcalled the George and Anne, in May, 1729, and by a receipt preservedamong his papers, it seems that he paid for the passages ofninety-four persons.
They were unfortunate in the selection of a vessel. The captain was aviolent and unprincipled villain. They were poorly supplied withstores, and the voyage proving long, they suffered from disease andfamine. A large number of passengers died, including a son anddaughter of Mr. Clinton. They were finally landed upon the coast ofMassachusetts. The captain refused to go to New York, or toPennsylvania, though the latter was his original place ofdestination."

APPENDIX; WILLIAM W. CAMPBELL, wcarr1@nycap.rr.com"
NOTE A.
ANCESTORS OF DE WITT CLINTON.
"Extracted from the Journal of the late Dr. Joseph Young, dated April11th, 1807, in the possession of Judge Herttell of New- York.
"Sometime in the year 1727 or 1728, when the whole connexion growingmore and more dissatisfied with the government, resolved to emigrateto the then colony of New-York; and as if bound together by theindissoluble ties of consanguinity and friendship, the greatest numberof those who had emigrated from the north, with some additionalmembers, engaged a ship at Dublin, commanded by a Captain Rymer, andall paid their passage money there, and had the ship bound to them forthe faithful performance of their agreement. They laid in a sufficientstock of provision for an ordinary passage, but instead of a commonpassage, he kept them at sea twenty-one weeks and three days. Duringthe passage they one morning came in full sight of the coast ofVirginia, which the boatswain, who was an old seaman, affirmed he knewperfectly well, as he had frequently been on that coast before; butthe captain called him a lying skulking dog, and immediately orderedto put the ship about and put off to sea; in consequence of thisunequivocal disclosure of the captain's intention to famish them allto death at sea, William Armstrong, my father's half-brother, wouldhave put him to death, had he not been forcibly restrained. ColonelCharles Clinton, who by his age and superior abilities, appears tohave been the head or chief of the connexion, who had a betterknowledge of the laws than the others, told them that unless the otherofficers belonging to the ship would join them, their rising forciblyagainst the captain, would upon trial be adjudged piracy. But thespirits of the officers were so completely subdued by the tyrannicalconduct of the captain, who had killed a man on board by striking himon the head with a pipe-stave, that they dare not join the passengersagainst him. In this shocking dilemma the captain extorted from them avery considerable sum of money, as a bribe for landing them on anypart of the coast; soon after this agreement he landed them at CapeCod."
"For several days previous to their landing, their allowance had beenan half biscuit, and half a pint of water for twenty-four hours: inconsequence of this cruel treatment many of the passengers died, andamongst this number who perished with famine, was Thomas Armstrong: hewas a very worthy valuable man; his son William, and his daughterMargery, shared the same fate. It was believed by the passengers, thatthe captain had been bribed to subject them to vexation and hardshipto discourage emigration. And that his motive for landing them at CapeCod in preference to New-York or Boston was, that at that early periodhe could not have been so easily prosecuted there for the murder andpiracy of which he had been guilty, as at either of the above places.He positively knew that he had forfeited his life, not only by killingthe man with the pipe-stave, but also by extorting money from thepassengers at sea as a bribe to bring them to land; for he had swornthat they should never see land again, unless they gave him the sumwhich he demanded: but it appears by their conduct, that although thepassengers had suffered so much by the savage cruelty of the captain,that they were not actuated by the spirit of revenge or a thirst forblood; they said he deserves death, but let him fall by other hands.Although Colonel Clinton was not bred a mariner, he was an excellentmathematician, and could have directed the course of the ship; but ashe never suspected that he would have been denied the use of theinstruments to make observations, he had neglected to provide them,which might have rendered it difficult to discover his course anddistance; otherwise, if the other officers would have joined him, hewould have confined the captain and taken the command of the ship. Asthe ship had been insured in Dublin, the captain contrived to let herdrive from her mooring on a stormy night, in which she was lost. Theyarrived at Cape Cod in the fall, and remained there until spring,ETC..."

1730 - 1734: - " ORANGE COUNTY TITHE LISTS
Orange County was created by act of assembly August 1734, from the
westernmost portion of Spotsylvania County. This act was directed to
take effect on January 1, 1734/5 and the boundaries of the new county
of Orange were defined as "all that territory of land adjoining to,
and above the said line [i.e. the line as established by act of May,
1730, dividing St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania into two parishes to
be known as St. George's and St. Mark's; St. Mark's being above the
said line, or to the west thereof. Henning IV., 305] boundensoutherly,

1735 - Separate Issues on John McCoy:
Issue: As you can see from the source below (I think I sent this to____ already a while back), that it's titled, "McKay", and this was myfirst inclination as well, BUT the information on the John McCoy,c.1735 would indicate that our John McCoy is not a McKay at all.Also, Dee Ann Buck, who is a descendant of the McKay's doesn't thinkthat our John McCoy is a McKay either. Plus, the research Michael & Ihave done so far does not link our John McCoy with the McKay family.I did make a good case for the interchange of the name McKay to McCoyand vice versa. So, anything is still possible, but it would seemthat it cannot be proven that our John was part of that family. TheJohn McCoy of c.1735 is the most likely candidate so far after rulingout 8 other different John McCoy's that were in Virginia in the 1700'sof about the correct age, including the McKay's, the McCoy's fromMaryland, Capt. John McCoy, James & John McCoy (Mossey Creek)brothers, the McCoy/McKee's, the Augusta County John McCoy, thePennsylvania John McCoy married to Sarah. and the John McCoy b. 1739married to Agnes. In truth, the JOHN MCCOY c.1735 is about the onlyone left living in Virginia who it could possibly be.
Issue: Death of John McCoy: It is believed to be between 1790-1791.The last mention of John McCoy any where in the tax records is in 1790Fauquier County along with his son Joseph, and in 1791 his son Josephis living in Frederick County. As family oriented as Joseph was, Idon't believe he would leave his elderly father and move unless hisfather was no longer living. After all, Joseph moved his entirefamily to Ohio including his son-in-laws, and disinherited his sonJames for staying in Virginia. Though I have no proof at the present,I'd say it's quite possible that John McCoy died before 1791 whenJoseph is in Frederick County at the time of Joseph's third childsbirth.
Issue: John McCoy's other children require more researching as yet.It's believed that John may have had children Joseph (the biography ofJoseph Jr. that we have says so), plus Samuel, and Elizabeth. Forsure, the other two names of Delilah or Ann however for John'schildren really needs to be checked out.

Subject: Re: Ship Passenger Lists, The South, 1538-1825
Dear Cynthia Millar,
Actually, you have partially answered some of the questions we had.I'm glad for a more indepth understanding of theemigration/immigration for those listed in the book by Carl Boyer's,Ship Passenger Lists, The South, 1538-1825, on those pages you'vementioned (91-93) and had sent to us. This is helpful, somewhat,because we now know from your information and understanding of thewritten material that the ships then were from Great Britian, anddisembarked in the South ports of that time and era. The addedinformation you shared also on the amount of the land for head rightsin Orange County, Virginia, along with it being recorded possibly atthe court house is most helpful as well. I say this because there maybe more documentation available at the Orange County Court House onthe land purchase and the head rights.
So, you have helped a good deal, and we will be forever grateful foryour insight and assistance. My son, Michael McCoy, and I thank youvery much, not only for what you have shared with us, but for yourtime spent on our inquiries.
Again thank you, and God Bless,
Sandy & Michael

Dear Sandra Juhl,
I know the title of Carl Boyer's book is rather misleading, but "TheSouth" in the title does not refer to a ship, but rather to thegeographic area of the United States "The South." The author has doneother regional books of immigrants covering New England, New York,Pennsylvania, and others. The immigrants listed in the bookdisembarked at southern ports, or settled somewhere in the southernpart of the U.S. We copied page 91 because this states the source ofthe list on which your ancestor, John McCoy was listed. It isn'treally a passenger list as such, but implies immigration as it liststhose who came themselves for a headright or who sponsored others tocome to Virginia. Those on the list apparently at some point lived inOrange County, Virginia and had applied at the county courthouse fortheir headrights, 50 acres of land per person. Page 93 is the part ofthe list that shows John McCoy coming to Virginia in 1735. All on thelist were from Great Britain. No specific ship was given for any onthe list, as the immigrants came at different times.
If you wish to have the rest of the list copied let us know. However,it just lists other immigrants alphabetically and the year they came.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Millar

Headrights were grants of 50 acres of land per "head" - or
per white male over the age of 16 who transported himself to the
colonies. They appear in the Court of Common Pleas in the county in
which the land was granted. These headrights function as the only realimmigration record
for English, Scot or Irish immigrants in that time period.

McCoy, John "A" 15 (22 May 1790)(Persons names chargiable with the Tax-oldest JohnMcCoy listed) Names of the males above the age of 16-John McCoy (b.older than c.1774 A.D.).
McCoy, Joseph Sen. "B"30 (14 June 1790-Joseph Washington McCoy) (Please note, the indicationof senior does not necessarily mean that there was a Junior son, butcan also denote that the person is the oldest man by that name in avicinity. Since there are no Joseph Jr's indicated on the tax censuswith Joseph, this is probably the case of Joseph being the oldest bythat name in the vicinity. The Joseph McCoy mentioned below is on adifferent page of the Tax List. He may be related however to JosephSen., and a reason for the indication of Senior for the oldestJoseph.)
I have also added Daniel as a sibling to Joseph, because of theindicated age of being over 21 years old to be responsible for his owntax, but am unsure if this is accurate. (Michael & I have an earlyapprenticeship of Daniel, but did not know where to place him, and hewas in the military as well. So, he would fit the age of a sibling.Plus, he is listed on the tax page before Joseph, and lived nearhim.).
Mccoy, Daniel "B" 29 (24 May 1790)
There is also a Joseph McCoy and another John McCoy. Two are livingin other households, Bodagert McCoy and Hesikiah McCoy, that are over16 years of age; Possibly working for the tax payers who are payingtheir taxes for them. I would suspect this is all the same family ofMcCoy's since they are all listed together in the same area, but howeach is related is unknown at present. More research needs to bedone on the others listed.

1811 - 1812: - John McCoy is not on the tax records for 1811-1812 A.D.in Coshocton County, Ohio. Only Joseph is listed as head of thehousehold early settler of the County. In 1814 A.D. Census TaxRecord for Coshocton County, Joseph had R-7; T-4; S-25 at that taxcensus. Coshocton did not become a County until 1811 A.D.

1820 - "Immigration to USA & Canada
Pre-1820 Approximately 650,000 individuals of all nationalitiesarrived in America before 1820. Most were English and Welsh. Smallernumbers of German, Irish, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, French, Spanish,African, and other nationalities also arrived. These immigrants tendedto settle in the eastern, middle-Atlantic, and southern states. BeforeJanuary 1, 1820, the U.S. Federal Government did not require captainsor masters of vessels to present a passenger list to U.S. officials.The lists that remain for the period before 1820 are varied incontent. They range from name only lists to giving the person's fullname, age, and country of origin." www.olivetreegenealogy.com

John married *Nancy Smith between 1750 and 1762 in Possibly Orange Or Fauquier County, Virginia. *Nancy was born about 1744 in ?? Orange Or Fauquier County, Virginia; died on 8 Oct 1822 in ?? Probably Greene County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Nancy had a first marriage to a Charles Smith of Cumberland County,Virginia around 1760-1762. Charles Smith was born 1740 in CarolineCounty, Virginia. They had one son together, George Smith about1760-1762." Information taken from Internet sources mentioned underJoseph Washington McCoy her son by John McCoy. The information belowis not exactly correct in it's order of happenings, because as statedby this compiler, John McCoy was Nancy's second marriage. SinceJoseph Washington McCoy was born in 1766, it would be likely that John& Nancy married just prior to Joseph's birth no doubt. This compileris not sure of the information given below, but it is noted. It's awonder as to why Nancy would be in Georgia when her children andgrandchildren were headed to Ohio at this time, and her grandson James(son of Joseph Washington McCoy) stayed in Virginia as well. WasGeorge Smith in Georgia? A lot more research is required on thesetwo family lines as yet.
