I've been bearing down for weeks now on the near-final stages of the Stony Point Christian Church (Clark Co., IN) Bicentennial History (1798-1998). One of the most prominent families in the early history of this church (the first Protestant church in the state) was the McCOYs. My question is: "Does anyone know WHERE in Louisville, KY Isaac McCoy is buried?" One of the most well-known members of this family was Isaac McCoy, born 6/13/1784 in Uniontown, PA. At age 6, his family moved to KY. He married Christiana Polk in 1803. They had 14 children, but 4 died in infancy or early childhood and only 3 remained alive at the time of Isaac's death in 1846. On July 11, 1807, the Silver Creek Baptist Church granted Isaac McCoy "license to exercise his gifts in the bounds of the church". He was only 23 years old and his "gifts" were still uncertain. Apparently his gifts were considerable as on August 13, 1808, the Church at Silver Creek granted him "license to preach the gospel wherever God in His providence might cast his lot." In 1817, Isaac McCoy was sent by the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions in America to the Miami Indians, who were living on the Wabash river, 16 miles above Terre Haute, Indiana. This was his first missionary experience but he was to spend the remainder of his life in this and related fields. McCoy established Carey Mission among the Pottawatomies on the St. Joseph river near present Niles, Michigan in December, 1822. In 1826 he founded Thomas Mission among the Ottawas near present Grand Rapids. For many years McCoy was almost constantly employed by the government in the Indian country, selecting and surveying locations for the immigrant Indians and establishing and maintaining missions and schools. In 1842 he moved to Louisville, Kentucky to direct the American Indian Mission Association, a society which he himself had organized. He continued in this work until his death at Louisville in 1846. The papers of Isaac McCoy were presented to the Kansas State Historical Society on July 9, 1879, by John Calvin McCoy, a son who accompanied the missionary on his early explorations and assisted in the survey of the proposed Indian lands. The collection, numbering more than 2,500 items, was bound in 38 volumes shortly after it was deposited with the Society. The Isaac McCoy papers are the property of the Kansas State Historical Society. Brief quotations are authorized without restriction. The microfilm of the Isaac McCoy papers may be used in the Research Room of the Kansas State Historical Society, borrowed through interlibrary loan, or purchased.
