McAvoy and Burns info

Hello. My family is MCVOY which has also been spelled as MCAVOY in some historical records. A few years ago, someone sent me info that the VA/WV Robert MCAVOY's grave says "MCVOY" and I do not know if this is true. I am curious if he is related to my ancestor John MCVOY. To be honest, I do not know exactly where my ancestor John MCVOY/MacVOY/MCAVOY came from prior to 1776 except he is listed as a native of Ire and may have been born around 1750.His son, William MCVOY was born in 1776 in Savannah, GA and married a Margaret BYRNS (later spelled as BYRNE) in Mobile in 1799. Do you know the parents of your Sally BURNS? My ancestress was daughter of Gerald BYRNE (spelled as BYRNS in various records)and the surname was spelled as BYRNS in their marriage records at Mobile's Cathedral on 2-14-1799. Do you know who your Sally's parents were? Thanks.
