Richard Secoy, born in New York ca. 1775, arrived in New Madrid County, MO, in 1802. His wife was Sarah, possibly Munn, also born in New York. This couple had four sons, John, Mark, Francis, and Godfrey. I believe that Richard was probably a descendant of Marcus Du Secoy who arrived in Staten Island in 1657. The surname Du Secoy has had many alternate spellings including Dissosway, DuSauchoy, and Du Secay. I have been unable to link Richard Secoy to any family living in New York at the time of his birth. Are there Dutch Colony researchers working on this family? Penny Culver prculver@cox.net
