NARA Series Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Philadelphia PA 1800-1882, Series 425, Roll 3, Arrivals from Jan 2-Aug 30, 1802, Lists 1-173. Ship Mohawk sailed from Londonderry to Wilmington and Philadelphia and arrived on 6 July 1802 with numerous McCoys. Passengers 52-57 were John, James, Hesther, John, Sarah and Joseph McCoy. (This family came with 2 chests and one bundle!). Presumably John and Hesther McCoy were the parents. Joseph was Joseph McCoy, Jr., who later wed Jane Martin. In a separate grouping are passengers 108-110--Jane, Abraham and Margaret McCoy, who most likely were children of John and Hesther McCoy as well. They had one chest and one bundle. (Note: both genealogy.com and ancestry.com indicate that only one John McCoy was on this vessel, however, the passenger list clearly shows there were two Johns. This McCoy family settled in the Shenandoah Valley and moved to Ohio County (later Tyler Co.) VA (later WV) about 1808.
