About us
In a recent DNA study of Irish surnames which included 50 McEvoys, 28 were of haplogroup R1b3 and 22 of haplogroup IxI1b2, the latter group including nearly all the participating McEvoys from Ulster.

He is listed as a well to do tobacco farmer. In the Court Records of Prince Georges County 1696-1699, Matthew McBee is listed as a planter and Press Master for Collington Hundred.
