Thank you for this wonderful website. I knew we were related to the Hale's but had not talked to anyone about it. I know Elbert Hale & Travis Hale.
My line is:
William McCoy, Sr. - 1765-1842
Uriah McCoy, Sr. - 1808-1893
William H. McCoy - 1837-1892
James McClellan McCoy - 1864-1939
James Bert McCoy - 1894-1952
Margaret Joanne McCoy - 1932-1996
Thomas McCoy Brauns - 1956-
--- Melissa McCoy Brauns - 1977-
--- Melanie McCoy Brauns-Duddy - 1979-
--- Michael McCoy Brauns - 1994-
William McCoy, Sr. is buried in a field 3 miles North of my house in an unmarked grave, "Moffit Farm". We have a computer program with info on the McCoy's and several big books of McCoy history, also some pages copied from the Old McCoy Bibles.
The restaurant you stopped at in Chrisney is owned by a McCoy, Clay Beckner, he comes under Uriah McCoy, Sr. with me.
There was Charles McCoy that died March 27, 2008 that is in your line. He lived in Evansville.
I think his line is:
James Madison McCoy - born 1814
Mathy McCoy - born 1851
Marcey McCoy - born 1893
Charles McCoy - born 1932
The first generation of McCoy's to Spencer County was William McCoy, Sr. in 1812. James Madison McCoy was born in Kentucky.
I have not found any proof, but I think you came down under Thomas McCoy, Jr. who is William McCoy, Sr.'s brother. Thomas Jr. stayed around Henderson County, KY. All the McCoy's in that area are probably a little closer related to you.
James Madison McCoy came from KY to Grandview, IN.
William McCoy, Sr. has approximately 5000 grandchildren now, and Thomas Jr. probably has about the same. I could be wrong on this. I can't find the William McCoy, Sr. connection with James Madison McCoy.
William Sr. and Thomas Jr.'s father was Captain Thomas McCoy, Sr. He got caught switching sides by the British and was hung in Augusta, GA along with his 16 yr old son.
Thomas McCoy, Sr. came over from Ireland. His father was John McCoy. William Sr. & Thomas Jr. were born in NJ. Thomas McCoy, Jr. is buried in KY.
Somewhere we are probably related to the Hatfield-McCoy bunch. I hope I haven't confused your family tree.
I do have dates on Thomas McCoy, Sr. & Jr. and other information. My wifes family mixes in with William Sr. and Thomas Jr.
Thanks,
