I have provided sources from genealogist who have been working on this family for 60 or 70 years checking and rechecking the sources all along the way. There is great confidence placed in these books as I too have checked. With this information as it stands does not confirm the name of John McCoy's wife, because no one has given nor confirmed source information to verify the truth, such as birth record, census, christening, baptism records.
