        John (Mccoy) McCoy Jr was a Maryland colonist.

        John, Daniel, James and 2 to 4 other brothers left Belfast, Ireland in the early 1700's. They were Scotch-Irish which means the family was originally from Scotland, probably no more than 100 y.

        McCoy Origins

        Posted 10 Sep 2017 by genung1012

        The McCoys trace their origin back to Scotland.

        The family was first found in Sutherland, where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

        Their origin there is possibly Lowland, but they had intermarried with the Highland Celtic strain, giving some a slight olive complexion and some dark or auburn hair. They were in general tall and lithe and handsome. They had a great deal of family pride and clannishness.

        The McCoy Coat of Arms is a Blue with a silver chevron, on which there are two daggers pointing at a buck's head, all between three silver bears' heads. The family motto: "Manu forti," means "With a strong hand."

        The McCoys were in Scotland until around 1700 A.D. at which time they migrated to Ireland. In the early 1700s, the McCoys started to migrate to America, which was a British Colony.

        The earliest known ancestor is a Jacobite in Ireland named JOHN McCOY, whom was (according to some sources) the son of Alexander McCoy and Francis Katherine Sutherland, born in 1690, in Sutherland Shire, Scotland. The Jacobites were loyal supporters of the Stuart King, James II. It is believed that John migrated to Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland, after a failed rebellion in 1715, which was to return King James II to the English throne. John worked as a mercenary for English Lord Berresford (as did his brother).

        John married a woman with the last name of MARTIN. The family then migrated to America, traveling from Belfast, Antrim County, Ireland, to America in 1732. John's brothers, James and Daniel, may have come from Ireland with him.

        In 1737, he received a land grant in Charles County, Maryland, which was a 150-acre tract. (Located today outside of Funkstown, Washington County, Maryland.) John purchased another 50-acre plot in Prince George's County, Maryland, on 11/09/1742 that he named "Neglect" (with 129 more acres in Queen Anne County, on 12/01/1748) On 08/17/1747, he purchased 54 acres in Charles County, Maryland, which was referred to as "Slatford's Roost Extension."
