McCoy's parents escaped slavery in Kentucky on the Underground Railroad and settled in Canada

At age 15, McCoy traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland to study mechanical engineering.

McCoy went to work as a fireman for the Michigan Central Railroad, where part of his job was to lubricate engine parts

That's when McCoy had his big idea: an automatic lubricator that kept engines oiled while they were in operation.
