Descendants of Frederick Robert Coy

Generation No. 1

        1.  Frederick Robert1 Coy died Bet. 1878 - 1888.  He met Mary Ann Birch.  

Notes for Frederick Robert Coy:
In 1832 Frederick Robert Coy was resident at Haddington in Hanover, a property about 5 miles inland from Round Hill.  His 3 children by Mary Ann Birch, to whom he was not married, were baptised in the Anglican Church in Hanover.
In 1839 he was in Portland.  There he was a trustee of the Titchfield Free School, and a Lieutenant in the local Militia (in which service was obligatory).  Also living in Portland in 1839 was William James Coy, assistant judge and magistrate, and Lieutenant in the Militia.
After the abolition of slavery, in about 1840,  he acquired the properties of Good Hope and Covey in Trelawny, along with the property of Pembroke.  He was on the Voters' List in Trelawny, a Magistrate, and a Member of the Trelawny Municipal Board.
According to the "History of the Parish of Trelawny" he was unmarried and an atheist.
An article in the Falmouth Post referred to his presence at an agricultural fair in Hanover in 1873 saying '"Coy's Boys" were right glad to see their valued instructor and friend present.  "Old Fred" looked almost as fresh as he did in the days when he was distinguished in Hanover for hospitality, and he met with a "glorious reception."'
