William McCoy and his descendants; a genealogical history of the family of William McCoy, one of the Scotch families coming to America before the revolutionary war, who died in Kentucky about the year 1818 Also a history of the family of Alexander McCoy, a Scotchman who served through the revolutionary war, and died in Ohio in the year 1829 .

BRANCH OF DANIEL 2 McCOY 75 wife of Daniel McCoy, was sister of Frances Katherine Suth-erland, the wife of Alexander McCoy, of Brown County, Ohio,and these men were undoubtedly first cousins also, as well asbrothers-in-law. The McCoys also belonged to the clan of Sutherland. Thisfact I learned some years since while in Scotland. Some eighteen years ago I met a of Sutherlandsliving near Drakesville, Davis Co., Iowa.

McCoy, now living at South Omaha, Nebr., son of RobertMcCoy, remembers hearing his father talking of his uncle,Alexander McCoy, of Brown Co., Ohio, and I have statementsof Angus S.
