Research Note by Genealogist of Clan Sutherland

Whoever he was, this man was not a son of Captain William Mackay 2nd of Borley and his wife Elizabeth Corbet. They didn't have a son James and Hugh, their eldest son and heir is well documented and did not marry a woman named Jennett Wallace.

The surname "McCoy" is not Scottish and is only seen in Scotland pre 1800 in a handful of records. It is the Irish spelling of the surname Mackay and is widely used in North America. If seen on any Scottish profile pre-1800 it should ring alarm bells and the source(s) should be carefully noted and checked, especially if it is an online source like a family tree and not a "real" source like a baptism entry or extract from a land charter or headstone.
