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..."

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.

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,

Subject: Re: Ship Passenger Lists, The South, 1538-1825
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.

Thus, theNorthern Neck Proprietary encompassed an area of 5,282,000 acres andincluded the present counties of Northumberland, Lancaster,Westmoreland, Richmond, Stafford, King George, Prince William,Fairfax, Loudin, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Frederick, Madison,Clarke, Warren, Page, Shenandoah, and in West Virginia, Hardy,Hampshire, Morgan, Berkeley and Jefferson. In 1745, much of this areawas still an unsettled wilderness. The final survey of theProprietary was accomplished by a joint commision in 1746."
Page ix - "...Virginia's Northern Neck, a vast area of more than5,000,000 acres between the rivers Potomac and Rappahannock, is seepedin history: that of both a fledgling colony and that great nationwhich gave birth to it...With well-preserved records - in Britain'sPublic Record Office, Virginia's county courts, Fairfax Familyarchives - that history is well documented. ...Despite the vastnessof the territory available, early settlements were confined to thetidewater area. Land under these companies was held as in a jointventure....ownership in the colony became a reality with the residentgovernor, acting under royal authority, granting title to specifictracts through a document called a patent. No matter the basis of thepatent - whether by head right, treasury right, or military right - ANANNUAL QUIT-RENT PAYMENT WAS RESERVED FOR THE CROWN."

1790/1800 Virginia Tax List Census Index with photo copies of actualpages of the census
Name?s Personal Tax List A, B, C Page
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.
