Slieve Foy (i.e. "Foy Mountain") is in Ireland. It is situated, over-looking Carlingford Lough on the east coast of Ireland and right beside the famous Border between North and South . You may see a picture of the mountain at http://www.fjiordlands.org/carlnfrd/omeath.htm Slieve Foy is the one on the horizon to the right behind Omeath.

Eddie Foy was the stage name of a famous vaudeville entertainer. He wasn't a Foy at all. He was really Edwin Fitzgerald (b. 1856 - d. 1928).

The Indianapolis 500 pace car in 1933 was a Custom Imperial Convertible driven by Byron Foy

Foy David Kohler (1908-1990) US diplomat; US ambassador to Soviet Union 1962-1966

Nancy Foy did the casting for the movie "Dr. Dolittle" with Eddie Murphy.

In April, 1966 a TV Show called "A Field of Wild Flowers" was broadcast with a character named Sargeant Foy who was played by Harold J. Stone.

In 1691 Christien Le Clercq (b. 1641 - d. 1695) published Premier Establissement de la Foy dans la N'lle France. Which means "First Establissement of Foy in the N'lle France." Does anyone know what "Establissement" or "N'lle" mean? Does any one have any idea what this publication is about? Is it talking about the surname Foy or it's meaning. (i.e. "faith")

Colm Foy was kind enough to provide us with the following translation of Premier Establissement de la Foy dans la N'lle France: "When the faith first came to New France." He also points out that "New France" in this case was Canada. In some cases "New France" was used to refer to the area we now know as Louisiana in America.
