General Notes: Husband - John McCoy


He was born in county Antrim, Ireland, and there grew to manhood. About 1790 he came with the family to Pennsylvania, making the journey westward by wagon. He eventually settled in what is now Kennedy township, Allegheny County, where he purchased a large tract of land.
The land he bought was then in Robinson township and consisted of six hundred acres of timber land, which he cleared, himself cutting the first tree ever felled on the tract. He and his wife were among the founders of the Union United Presbyterian Church.

He came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, prior to 1800; owned and left to his children at his death 700 acres of land. He died from the effects of a kick of a horse.

He became one of the prosperous men of Robinson Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
