Laura A. McCoy

Born December 4, 1852

Died November 27, 1915

I am glad you have the KOA gravesite.  It is often overlooked.  My Great Grand Mother, Laura McCoy is buried at the KOA campground.  She was actually married to Walter Scott Griggs, but they divorced and she was buried as a McCoy.  Ottma was her son.  Anne Elizabeth McCoy at Nimmo was her mother:  Jennifer Brown Estes

Laura was married to Walter Scott Griggs.... some of their children that died are buried at the KOA campground.  Their stones are now all broken into pieces.  At the time of her marriage Laura McCoy was considered one of the most beautiful young ladies in Princess Anne County and considered "quite a catch" Dian DeBuiser
