    3. Also of interest on these Chester County PA Quakers...apparently Robert McKay got 100,000 acres of land in VA, Shenandoah Valley, if he could get 100 families to settle there...that was Quaker Families since Robert was Quaker as well... McKay/McKoy/MacKay/McCoy/McCay/M'Kay just a few of the variations for this family...<g>... At any rate in the early 1700s, Robert McKay took about 50 families with him to VA...(free land amazing)and by the time of the land dispute below apparently had gotten 100 families to move there... There was a big land dispute over this land I don't have the records yet, so don't know if it names any other families or not... The McKay family also married into the Newbold, Ridgeway families and the Hog family is found there as well... Just some interesting info...
