He married a woman named Monemia Maiden name unknown to me at this time. They were married during the year of 1839. Monemia was born in the year of 1822. According to our records they had between 12 and 14 children. Among the children born were the famous Millie-Christine Mckoy. The first African American Siamese twins. They had a son named Josiah Mckoy.He was born in the year of 1840. He married a second time to a lady by the name of Izzadora Jones. She was born in Welches Creek, Columbus County, North Carolina.
