McCOY NOTES:
The McCoy name comes from the Scotish Highlanders Clan, MacKay.
McCoys comes from a long line of Scotish Highlanders, Pioneers and Indian
Fighters.
MacKay was changed to McCoy sometime after they lelt Scotland.
MacKay (McCoy) Clan Mottos: "Manu-Forti" (With a strong hand) and "Bitren"
(Be True-Be Valiant).
The McCoy Clan Colors are Blue and Green.
The badge of the Clan is a hand holding a dagger.
First record of name: 1326 when a "Gilchrist M'ay", progenitor of the MacKays of
Ugadale made a payment to the Constable of Tarbert.
