McCoy

They were believed to be related to McCoy of Curramore House and Clare House (who were also buried at Kilfergus).
DNA now proves the families are related since there is a DNA match between Patrick McCoy (of Curramore) and his wife Kitty Barrett and others in her family (descendants of McCoy of Glin). However the exact relationship is not known.
