Moses Jr. McKenzie

Notes:

From the research of Ray Leidinger of Cumberland, Maryland:

Sarah Ann McKenzie and Moses McKenzie, Jr. were married in Hampshire County, Virginia. Moses McKenzie, Jr. was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.

From the notes of Philip Dietz, Jr. comes the following:

Moses started as a drummer boy in Revolutionary War at age 18. He enlisted at Frederick Town and was discharged at Annapolis. He served in the Battle of White Plains 1776, the battle of Monmouth, and the siege of Yorktown. he was a member of the Maryland Line.

From research conducted by Michael A. McKenzie in the Maryland Section of the Genealogical Section of the Atlanta Public Library on February 19, 1997, the following information was obtained:

According to the Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution (Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900), Moses served as a drummer in Lt. Col. Ludwig Weltner's German Battalion. He received a Federal Land Warrant on April 8, 1793 for 100 acres of land (that being Federal Warrant Number 11, 514) for his service in the Revolutionary War. Source: Revolutionary Records, Harry Wright Newman, Genealogical Publishing Company (1993)


According to the Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution (Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900), he was a new recruit on September 5, 1778 at White Plains. Another record shows the "date he was passed" that being April 28, 1778. All of the records also reflect that his brother, Joshua McKenzie was also in the same battalion and also served as a drummer boy. The same Muster Rolls also show that Moses was paid for his service for the months of July, August, September and October, 1779. The records further reflect that Moses and Joshua also served in Lt. Col. Weltner's battalion from 1 August 1780 until 15 November 1783. During that period of time the records reflect that they served as Privates.

From the notes of Philip Dietz, Jr. comes the following:

Moses also served in the "War with England - 1814", as a drummer in Capt. Blair's Company with Thomas Clinton, a fifer. Moses and Thomas had also served in the Revolutionary War. They lived in the Cumberland area, and on all public demonstrations were accustomed to come out on the street and play the fife and drum.

From research conducted by Michael A. McKenzie in the Maryland Section of the Genealogical Section of the Atlanta Public Library on February 19, 1997, the following information was obtained:

Contained in Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County and Church from Original Sources by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, M.S., M.D., Volume II, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1985, the following appears:

"McKinsey (sic), Moses. Passed Dec. session, 1815--No.23. Treas. Western Shore pay to Moses McKinsey, of Allegany County, -a sum of money, annually during life, quarterly, equal to half pay of a drummer in the rev. war."

"McKinsey, Moses. Passed Mch. 9, 1827--No. 44. Treas. pay to Sarah McKinsey, of Allegany County, during life, half yearly, half pay of a private, for her husband, Moses McKinsey's services during the Rev. War."

In April, 1818, Moses McKenzie, a resident of Allegany County, State of Maryland, applied for a pension by right of his services during the American Revolution. (10) He swore before the Circuit Court of that county that he was aged 58 years, and had enlisted at Frederick Town, Maryland in the German Regiment as a drummer boy - date of enlistment not given. He was assigned to the company of Captain Baltzell, and participated in the Battles of Monmouth and Yorktown.

In 1820 he had in his immediate household who were dependent on him for support a wife aged 56 years, a daughter aged 16 years, a son aged 18 years and two grandsons aged 7.

His pension ultimately was approved but he died on March 3, 1824.

In October, 1841, his widow, Sarah McKenzie, of Cresaptown, Maryland, aged 76 years, applied for a widow’s pension by rights of her deceased husband’s service in the Revolutionary War.

She the said Sarah McKenzie swore that she married Moses McKenzie sometime in the month of December, 1784.

John Durbin of Knox County, Ohio, made an affidavit that he was present at the wedding which took place at the residence of Jacob Slagle in Hampshire County, Virginia, and that the ceremony was performed by a Catholic priest.

Lucy McVicker, of Allegany County, Maryland, aged 69, submitted an affidavit stating that she was present at the marriage of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie, the latter also being named McKenzie.

The claim of the widow, Sarah McKenzie, likewise was approved by the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C. (11)



Children of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie are:
  i.   Janes McKenzie.
ii.   Racheal McKenzie.
iii.   Joshua McKenzie, born Abt 1783 in Maryland; died Abt 1870 in Allegany Co.; married Elizabeth Winters May 17, 1814.
iv.   Moses McKenzie III, born Abt 1790.
v.   Jesse McKenzie, born 1792 in Allegany Co.; died 1863; married Catherine Winters.

In 1848 a Complaint was filed in the Court of Equity of Allegany County, Maryland by the brothers and sisters of Moses McKenzie, Jr., son of Moses McKenzie (b. 1760), requesting that a parcel of land (known as the “Western Road”) left by Moses, Jr. when he died intestate be equitably partitioned. This was the same parcel of land that was conveyed to Moses McKenzie (Moses McKenzie Jr.’s father) by Daniel Shriver, Jr. on September 13, 1812 and otherwise referred to in that deed as the “Western Road” property. The case lists all of Moses, Jr.’s brothers and sisters and their spouses and siblings where applicable. Jesse McKenzie is listed in the Complaint and received a share of the proceeds when the land was sold.

In addition:

Taken from The Heritage Press, Vol. 1, No. 9-issue of July, 1872: pa
Their Country's Call
"Among the Civilian Soldiers who first took up arms in the time of
emergency was a group of local volunteers who responded to the call of
the Continental Congress on 7/14/1775. Along with Capt. Michael Cresap,
1st Lt. Joseph Warren and 2nd Lt. Richard Davis, the volunteers from
this area painted themselves to look like Indians and answered the call.
They marched the 551 miles to Boston, Ma. in just 21 days, where they
reported to General George Washington. The march began 7/18/1775 and
ended 8/9/1775. The enlisted men who fought brilliantly under their
able leaders included such men as Thomas Clinton, their fifer, ...Other
volunteers included Moses McKenzie, William Roberts, William Davis, John
Comp, William Taylor, George King, Daniel Recknor and James Byron.
These men, as part of THE MARYLAND LINE, which gave the State its
nickname, 'Old Line State', fought in the battle of Long Island in 1776.
They were mustered out in 1783...."

From Ann Stansbarger March, 2011:

After the RW, Moses (b 1760) evidently came back to his father’s land in AA Co. He was ‘Moses of Moses, planter of AA Co.’ in 1783 when he sold 96 acres of McKinzie’s Discovery to James Cord.

He evidently went to Allegany Co sometime after selling the AA land. He is found listed in Deakin’s Survey of 1787 as Moses McKinsy, Lot 3416. These folks supposedly were settlers Deakins found living on the land in 1787. If so, I don’t know where Moses was hiding between 1787 and 1797 because I don’t see him on any of the tax lists in Bobbie’s email.

He was definitely in Allegany Co in 1792, however, when he served as Administrator for John’s estate.

From the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

Per the genealogical research of Col. G.T. MacKenzie (Ret.), "moses Jr. came from Pennsylvania to Maryland circa 1799. He purchased lot 3416 in Allegany County 13 Dec 1795 and sold the same lot to Lawrence Speakman in 1798. He signed the deed as Moses of Bedford County, Pa and Sarah relinguished her dower rights.

Col. MacKenzie further states:

Moses Jr. (b. 1760) sold to Moses III (d. 1838) a farm called "Western Road (resurveyed) on the east side of Davis Mountain 20 Aug 1823. Book A Land Records of Allegany County, Maryland.

P. 298 "The War With England 1814" says "Moses McKInsey and Thomas Clinton had both served in the Revolutionary War and were accustomed to come out on the streets of Cumberland, Maryand, where they lived, and play the drum and fife."

The following Word file was received by Michael A. McKenzie from Joseph Edward McKenzie. Most all of the information has been entered into the McKenzies of Early Maryland database. This document is set forth here because it also contains lots of source material for the people listed. Ed. Note Michael A. McKenzie May 18, 2013

My Father Ambrose R. McKenzie told Me,Joseph E.McKenzie,this story in
July 1995. We were standing on Wills Creek AVE. in Cumberland,Maryland. Dad
was looking down into the little creek just about 100 feet up from 307 Wills
Creek AVE, Walter and Catherine McKenzie built this house in 1923,Dad told Me
that His Father,Walter,was somewere in this area when He fell down the bank
and injured Himself. Walter was ill from that day until He died. Dad said
Walter died from LIVER problems and He always thought that it was because of
that fall by the creek.
From Leo Mckenzie, Son of Walter Mckenzie. Leo's recollection of the
incident is "He Jumped across the stream with armfull of cucumbers".
Walter E. McKenzie never drank whiskey in his life but made His living
working in the distillery business.My Father told Me that Walter knew
everything about distilling whiskey.
On the same day Dad told Me about the little house just up the street
305 Wills Creek Ave. from 307 Wills Creek AVE. on the other side. Dad said
that during the Civil War it was a Mess hall and the Soldiers that were
training at Campabella, this is Latin for "Camp of war" would eat at this
house,log cabin at that time. Allegany High School now stands on Campabella,
the School's nickname is the campers.
From Leo Mckenzie, Son of Walter Mckenzie. Leo said "The mess hall was
really the home of "Miss Miller's parents who sold pastry to soldiers when
they were training,Shooting 58 Caliber rifles. The trench they laid in to fire
their rifles was filled in to extend Allegany High around 1980"


I am looking for more stories about Walter and Catherine McKenzie.

All new to me as well. First I’ve seen that Moses may have been married twice. Racheal MacKenzie’s letter to the “Comacar of Annarandel County” is great. Do you have the document that reflects that language so that I can post it on the web site? Let me know.

30 May 1767 p.684 BB No 3 Rachael, widow of Moses, sold 32 acres of MacKenzie’s Discovery to John Cord, a blacksmith. (This would be her widow’s third.)

There is no record of the inventory or administration of the estate of Moses so this sale was probably negated.

26 Aug 1783 Moses of Moses sold all of McKenzie’s Discovery to James Cord
Evidently Rachael is dead by then, but again no inventory or administration unless she married again and those records would be under another surname. Possibility that Moses was with her on the home place, as youngest or oldest. He did not marry until 1785. No Equity Case found so evidently other children of Moses of John d. 1758 did not protest sale.

Bennett: 1776 Bedford Co., PA tax list so born at least by 1755.

Both Jesse and Joshua, sons of Moses 1720, have sons named Bennett.

Bennett common name in Logsdon and Durbin lines.

George H. ( Must be confused with great-grandson of Moses 1720. First George McKenzie in records was the one born 1815, son of Joshua and Catherine Winters. This Joshua was son of Moses RW who was son of Moses 1720. Catherine Winters was the daughter of Geo Winter, perhaps the source of the name. Name Geo first appears in a chart by Samuel Doak Porter who shows Nicholas as son of Geo of Moses 1720. Actually Nicholas was son of Geo and Catherine and administered Geo’s estate.

Suggest: Bennett, Jonathan, Joshua, Jesse and Moses all end up in Pa.Coincidence? Jonathan, Joshua, Jesse all end up in Ohio.

From Ann Stansbarger:

With regard to the death date for Moses 1720, he was clearly dead long before 1779. I have Rachel Mckinsie listed as owing a debt to the estate of William Hall on 18 September 1771. I have Rachel selling Joshua into indenture in BA Co in 1768. And according to Bobbie, on 30 May 1767 AA Co Land Records P 684, BB No. 3 Rachel sold (unsuccessfully?) a portion of Mackenzie’s Discovery to James Cord. I don’t have this document. Have you ever seen it?

Based on everything I’ve seen, I do believe Moses was dead by 1767.

Ann

Thoughts from Ann McKenzie Stansbarger in an email to the author September 13, 2018:

Hi Mike,

The others will give you there own view on research objectives but I for one am thinking that Moses McKenzie became acquainted with the Porters because they had tenant farms near each other. This would answer the question about when and where the Mackenzies first met the Porters.

My working hypothesis is that Moses was working a tenant farm prior to his father’s death. After his father’s death in ‘58, he had access to an additional 96 acres which was part of Mackenzie’s Discovery. I suspect there was no house on this plot, so Moses and the family may have continued to live on the tenant farm for a time. If the tenant farm was in AA, they could have worked the two farms easily.

If the legend has a grain of truth in it, then Moses decided to sell his additions to the tenant farm (improvements, animals) and move on to a new stage in his life, either in AA, making due with 96 acres, or ultimately cashing out and moving west. That is when disaster struck and he died unexpectedly.

My hypotheses is that he died on the road alone and his body was never found. The story of the murder is one that the Porters have preserved. I believe that is what Rachel thought.

Anyway, it is a lot of conjecture on my part, but it makes sense to me. It would be nice to find something that would allow us to put this story to rest once and for all.

Also it would be great if we could find a connection between the families within the enclave of tenant farmers on one of the Charles Carroll parcels.

Best, Ann

Moses + Nancy Jane (Rachel) Porter. Nancy was born in 1725; died after 1767. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

It’s exciting that Don Kagle was able to find this document (i.e. the letter from Rachel McKenzie to the administrator of Moses' estate). In the typed copy I got from a professional researcher the date was given as 1767. As I understand Testamentary Papers are the minutes of the Prerogative Court which functioned until the Revolution handling probate so Rachel’s letter would have been read at an early 1767 meeting of the Prerogative Court. We can probably shore up the date with the document, probably Orphans Court, that Ann Stansbarger found apprenticing Joshua age 3 or 4 .In May, 1767 Rachael, listed as widow of Moses, sold 32 acres (her widow’s third) of McKenzie’s Discovery to John Cord. p684 BB No 3 Anne Arundel Co.

The file information pertaining to the aforementioned letter dated 1767 is: Prerogative Court (Testamentary Papers) 90 (MdHR 1331; 1-13-13-1) Letter re Moses MacKenzie, n.d. Box 90 Folder 9, Front Only [1] 04/21/88 Tracking No.: 35845. PD No.: 88-02158.

John MacKinzie/MacKenzie was a planter/farmer in Baltimore County. The area in which his plantation was located eventually became part of Anne Arundel County. In 1840, the area became known as the Howard section of Anne Arundel County and in 1851 Howard County became an official county of Maryland.

In January, 1716, John obtained a Warrant for 100 acres of land in (then) Baltimore County. The warrant referenced that the property was called “Hopson’s Choice” and was located “on the south side of the main falls of the Patapsco River.” (17) The property was resurveyed in 1741 and reflected that it contained 172 acres of land. (18) Between 1718 and 1721, he obtained a warrant for an additional 100 acres of land also located in (then) Baltimore County known as “Addition to Hopson’s Choice”. The warrant likewise stated that the property lay “on south side of the main falls of the Patapsco River.” (19)

In March 1719, John MacKenzie and nine other inhabitants “of both sides of the Main Falls of Potapsco” petitioned the court “that . . . Christopher Randall may allow us our common and ancient road” allowing them access to the “mill and church.” (20)

He added to his property in 1726, when he acquired another 138 acres of land known as MacKinsey’s Discovery. (21) The survey of the property once again refers to land located south of the Main Falls of the Patapsco River, which is a reference point associated with all of John’s property.

During the June term of Court in 1735 in Anne Arundel County, John MacKinsie obligated himself to raise two orphan boys, Thomas Lants, age 5 and Francis Gallahors, age 3 until they reached the age of twenty-one years. In exchange for their servitude, John was charged by the Court with the responsibility of feeding and clothing the children and making certain that the boys learned how “to read write and cast up accounts.” (22)

In 1744 in Anne Arundel County a survey was conducted for John MacKenzie of “MacKinzie’s Discovery” Enlarged, 162 acres and a Patent was issued for the land. (23) Once again, it referenced that the property was located “on the south side of the main falls of Patapsco River.” (24) A map from Hopkin’s Atlas of 1878 shows property belonging to both Aaron McKenzie and David McKenzie located on the south side of the Patapsco River. (25)

John MacKinzie’s six children were born on his plantation S. of the Great Falls of the Patapsco River. (26)

John MacKinzie/MacKenzie signed his will on 17 MAR 1758. (27) He died sometime between March, 1758 and 17 JUL 1758, when his widow Katherine, and his children Daniel, Moses and Michael (and Aquila Randall) posted bond as sureties to inventory his estate. (28)(29) In his will, John Mackinzie bequeathed to his son Daniel 96 acres out of two tracts called “Hopson’s Choice” (30), and “Addition to Hopson’s Choice”, to his son Moses, 96 acres, part of a tract called “McKenzie’s Discovery”, to his grandson Michael McKenzie Mattocks, son of John Mattocks and Ann McKenzie Mattocks, his wife, 50 acres, part of a tract called “Hopson’s Choice”, to his grandson William McKenzie, son of Aaron McKenzie, 96 Acres of “McKenzie’s Discovery” with the remainder of his land, 96 acres, to his son, Michael. The will mentions by name five children only, with no reference to Gabriel. Item six, however, provides that all personal property to go to his wife Katherine during her life and then to be sold and the money divided equally between his six (31) (6) children, viz. five sons and one daughter.

On 2 APR 1776 John’s grandson, William McKenzie, son of Aaron, sold to Greenbury Randall 96 acres of “McKenzie’s Discovery”. (32) The parties agreed that 1/4 acre “at the head of the great falls on the Petapsico River where John MacKenzie and his wife are buried” will be reserved. Obviously, by 1776, Katherine MacKinzie also had died. This property is now in Howard County MD, across the river from Baltimore County. (33).



Endnotes

1.The four individuals listed have collaborated on drafting the information set forth in this “Source”. They have a combined 74 years of experience researching McKenzie genealogy, as follows as of February, 2011: Bobbie Holt McKenzie, 42 years, Dick MacKenzie, 7 years, Michael McKenzie, 13 years and Ann McKenzie Stansbarger, 12 years.

2.“MacKinzie” is the actual spelling of John’s name in his will drafted in 1758. The spelling of the family name has varied quite substantially over the course of the last three centuries. Primarily, the authors have chosen to use the spelling “McKenzie” because it currently seems to be the one most prevalently used throughout the country. The author recognizes that one branch of the McKenzies has continued to spell its name “MacKenzie”. This branch descends from John McKenzie’s son, Daniel, and remained in the vicinity of Baltimore for several hundred years. (information provided by Richard Lee “Dick” MacKenzie of Pennsylvania). Finally, yet another branch of McKenzie’s currently spell their name “McKinzie”. In order to properly reflect everyone’s heritage, the current spellings of various individual’s names are reflected on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site, www.mckenziesofearlymaryland.com.

In July, 2010, one of the authors of this “Source”, Michael McKenzie, received documents from the Maryland State Archives relating to the will, bond and inventory of the Estate of John MacKinzie that showed the McKenzie name to be spelled both “MacKinzie” as well as “MacKenzie”. The “MacKenzie” iteration was clearly set forth on the sleeve that held the sheaf of papers, although in various places in the documents the spelling “MacKinzie” was used. It is clear that by the early 1800’s, at least in connection with the western Maryland McKenzies, the “a” had been dropped following the “M” and the spelling eventually became “McKenzie”.

There have been numerous iterations of the spelling of the family name. Alan MacKenzie sent the following e-mail to the Clan MacKenzie web site on March 7, 2000:

The name Mackenzie was pronounced often like McKinsey hence that spelling. I once mentioned that when researching my gggrandfather in the parish of Tarbat in Easter Ross the Parish Clerk listed all Mackenzies as McKinzie. Once that parish clerk was replaced some 20 years later the name was spelled as McKenzie. So spelling from the 18th or even 19th century could be whatever people felt like. Most of the Mackenzies were farmers of one sort or another and were mostly unable to read and write. Their name was in the hands of the parish clerk. I suspect that your McKimsey is just another mis-spelling of Mackenzie. Probably a US version! When Highlanders went to England it was not uncommon to drop the Mac so they did not appear to be Highlanders from their name. Highlanders were not popular - at least not until Queen Victoria came along, or when George IV visited Scotland in 1823 or thereabouts and had a highland parade in Edinburgh. The other factor that changed the southern view of the Highlander was the large number that joined the British Army via the kilted Highland Regiments. After that we were good guys - saving the empire and all that!!! Vast numbers also served as soldiers in India with the East India Company and some of them made a lot of money doing that. A lot died too. The fact that your ancestor fought at Culloden on the Jacobite side suggest that he was a Highlander and with one of the Clans. Other than Mackenzie the only other name that sounds remotely like MacKimsey is MacKim mie (son of Simon) a Fraser Clan name. My best guess is that it is a variation of Mackenzie. By the way, the 1841 census shows no one in Ross-shire of that name MacKimsey or any variant. Alan McKenzie, Clan MacKenzie Society, Canada.

Dr George Fraser Black who compiled this massive piece of valuable research was born 1866 and died 1948. He was a historical scholar on the staff of The New York Public Library from 1896-1931 and spent half a century on the research for his book "The Surnames of Scotland – Their Origin, Meaning and History".

3.Ann McKenzie Stansbarger located a deposition in the Maryland Archives given by John MacKinney (actual spelling) in 1745 in which he stated his age as being 58. His testimony reflects that he was born in 1687, not 1694 as stated on many genealogy web sites. The document is indexed in More Maryland Deponents 1716-1799 by Henry C. Peden, Jr., as follows: “MacKinney, John, age 58 in 1745 (AA 2:233). The document has been posted on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site. You can access the document by searching for “McKenzie, John” on the home page and then scrolling through the “Johns” until you reach McKenzie/MacKenzie, John born 1687. Go to John’s home page and scroll until you locate the document.

4.The authors cannot locate any written reference that substantiates that Katherine’s maiden name was “Gabriel”, which is the last name reflected on many McKenzie genealogy web site listings. If anyone knows of a written reference for her last name, please contact Michael McKenzie at macmck@bellsouth.net so that the information can be posted on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site.

5.The authors have not been able to locate a document that reflects Katherine’s birthdate as being 1692, nor have they located any document to substantiate that she was born in Ireland, which is a “fact” that has permeated the Internet for at least the last dozen years. If you have documentation to substantiate a birth date for Katherine , please contact the Michael McKenzie at macmck@bellsouth.net.

6.IMPORTANT PIECE OF CONNECTING GENEALOGICAL EVIDENCE: Per the handwritten research notes of Gabriel T. McKenzie, U.S. Army (ret.), Gabriel McKenzie was designated as the person to make an inventory of John MacKinzie’s personal effects after John’s death in 1758. Gabriel was designated as the “nearest next-of-kin” to make the accounting. One of the authors, Michael A. McKenzie secured this document from the Maryland State Archives in July, 2010. It is the personal property inventory of John MacKinzie’s estate. At the end of it, Gabriel McKenzie is listed as the “nearest relation”. The document is located at Perogative Court (Inventories) Box 68, pp. 54-56, at p. 56, John MacKenzie, 1758 [MSA S534-69]. This document proves conclusively that Gabriel was the “sixth” and unnamed child in John MacKinzie’s will. The document has been posted on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site.

7.More detailed information pertaining to John’s six children is set forth in “Source #3” in the “Sources” section of the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site.

8.The authors have searched for the written record that reflects Gabriel’s marriage to Sarah Durbin, but have never located it. If you have a copy or know where it is located, please contact Michael McKenzie at macmck@bellsouth.net.

9.Ann Stansbarger’s analysis of the children of Gabriel, with which the other authors agree, flows as follows: Gabriel MacKenzie (actual spelling – Ann, is this correct?) was listed along with three other McKinseys --Samuel, Daniel and Aaron -- in the 1778 Washington County Oaths of Fidelity. A man had to be 18 years of age or older to take the Oath, so this is an indication that Samuel, Daniel and Aaron were all born prior to 1760. By the time of the 1783 Maryland Tax Assessment, Gabriel McKinsey was listed in Wills Town and Sandy Creek Hundred, Washington County, with five other McKinseys: Samuel, Daniel, Aaron, plus John and Gabriel Jr. Gabriel (Sr.) and four others of the name were listed together on page 17, while Gabriel Jr., also of Wills Town and Sandy Creek Hundred, was listed separately on page 64 under the heading of “Bachelors.” Gabriel, Jr. was most likely the youngest. In 1793 Gabriel “Jr.” sold his father’s land (Military Lot 3365) to Peter Majors. Maryland State Archives [MSA S1188-1536 From SL 40,162] Allegany County. This strongly suggests that Gabriel Sr. was deceased by that time. . On 1 April 1802 "John McKinsey of Gabriel" sold to Wm Stidger Military Lot 3683 west of Fort Cumberland and a tract called Mathews Addition. (Allegany Co Deed Bk C, p 475, April 1802). On 31st of March 1802 came Linday McKensey, wife of John, to relinguish her dower right.. Gabriel Jr. and John are linked to Gabriel through contemporary land documents. Based on their close physical proximity during the above period and the fact that Gabriel was the only Generation Two McKenzie male in Western Maryland at the time, the logical inference that can be drawn from the physical evidence is that, in addition to John and Gabriel Jr., the other three McKinseys -- Samuel, Daniel, and Aaron -- were also sons of Gabriel b 1715.

Gabriel Sr. may have had a will but, but if so, it has not survived.

Identifying the female children of Gabriel McKenzie and his wife Sarah has been more difficult than identifying the male children. Sarah McKenzie married Moses McKenzie, the Revolutionary War soldier in December 1784 in Hampshire VA (now West Virginia) on the other side of the Potomac River from Allegany Co MD. Lucy M. Vicker of Allegany Co. MD aged 69 submitted an affidavit stating that she was present at the marriage of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie the latter also being named McKenzie. We know that Gabriel Sr’s brother, Aaron, son of John of Hopson’s Choice, moved to VA and later to GA, with his family. None of the other siblings of Gabriel Sr. moved their families to western Maryland. For this reason the logical inference that can be drawn from the factual record is that Sarah McKenzie was a daughter of Gabriel McKenzie and Sarah Durbin. That would have meant that Sarah was a first cousin to Moses the RW soldier at the time they married.

As Bobbie Holt McKenzie further pointed out in February, 2011, “the old Scottish naming pattern supports this: first son for husband's father; in our cases i.e. John. First daughter for wife's mother. Second son for wife's father. Second daughter for husband's mother. Doesn't always work, but it can help. Actually Moses and Sarah were married by a traveling Catholic priest Rev. Frumbaugh at the home of Jacob Slagle, who also owned property in Allegany County. Probably married there (Hampshire Co.) because he was closest priest at the time. Usually a priest would only marry if both parties were Catholic. So both Moses and Sarah must have been Catholic. If both Catholic and related i.e. first cousins (first degree of consanguinity) they would need a special dispensation to marry. That's been my only hesitation in saying Sarah is daughter of Gabriel. But "frontier" marriages may not have observed this rule. We know that they did at St. Patrick's in early 1800 McKenzie marriages.”

9.5.To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no documentation extant that supports that Daniel married Mary (Molly) Porter in 1738. (Check this with Bobbie)

10.Bobbie Holt McKenzie wrote the following e-mail to Michael McKenzie in 1999:

There should be no confusion over the children of Daniel and his brother Gabriel. Daniel's children are detailed in his will and in subsequent land dealings selling their inherited land.

Liber BC & GS folio 215.
1783 3 Sept. Anne Arundel County Will of Daniel, aged 66 on 7 Feb 1783, divides [700?] acres of "Molly's Fancy," other land and personal property among wife Mary and eight children. Henry, Daniel, Eli, Honor [Mrs. Thomas Johnston], Mary [later Mrs. William Jones], Eleanor [later Mrs. Joshua Harp], and Orphay [Mrs. Joshua Young] receive 100 A each (of "Molly's Fancy") in Dist. #6, Frederick Co. Son Aaron is given all land owned in Anne Arundel co. upon the death of Daniel's widow Mary.

11.The authors currently have no documentation of Nancy Ann as daughter of Moses except a statement in Samuel Doak Porter's book. Per the research and analysis of Bobbie Holt McKenzie, Moses b. 1760 was probably the first-born of a second marriage. In 1783 he is listed as "Moses of Anne Arundel Co." when he sells the remainder of the property left to his father by John 1758. The right of primogeniture was still honored then, so Moses 1760 as the oldest son would inherit the right to his father's property. It also is clear from records at the National Archives that Moses, Jesse and Joshua were three brothers who served in the same battalion in the RW and all are considered to be sons of Moses b. abt. 1720..

Most probably there were other older children besides John d. 1792. At the time of Moses' death in 1767 if Rachael were responsible for children other than Moses, Jesse and Joshua, she most likely would have apprenticed any under 18 (she did apprentice her son Joshua) or had herself or someone appointed guardians.

12.A “John” died ca 1792 in Allegany Co. Moses, Daniel and Gabriel signed bond as administrators on March 12, 1792. Bond says John was very old and very poor. Inventory shows it. Adm Accounts Allegany Co.

22 March 1792 John McKinsy, estate appraisers: Daniel & Moses McKenzie, Wm Shaw, Evan Gwynne

11 Oct 1796 John McKinsy estate. Moses McKensy, adm. Accounts paid to Robert Sinclair & I King, John Willuts, Daniel McKinsey, Evan Gwynne, Ezekial Whiteman

The Moses referenced in the preceding paragraph is most probably Moses RW b. 1760, son of Moses of John. There are no other Generation 3 Moses old enough to have served in this capacity. The “Gabriel” referenced several paragraphs above is probably the Uncle of John and Moses. We know Gabriel was the oldest son of John MacKinzie based upon the records of the administration of John MacKinzie’s estate in the late 1750’s. Gabriel died 1793 so he does not appear in any subsequent records pertaining to the estate of John McKenzie, died circa 1792 in Allegheny County, Maryland. The “Daniel” referenced above is probably cousin to John and Moses, and son of their Uncle Gabriel. Gabriel’s son, Daniel, was born circa 1752 and is known to have been residing in western Maryland in the 1790’s.

This John d. 1792 is probably one of the first born children of Moses 1720. Taking into consideration the Scottish naming pattern, surely Moses would have had a son John. This John d. 1792 is considered by the county recorder as being "old." If he were born 1740-45, he would be ca 50, a healthy life span in the 1790s. According to a study done in Philadelphia in 1790, life expectancy in 1790 for the US population was 34.5 years for males and 36.5 years for females.

13.It is generally accepted that Moses McKenzie b. abt. 1720 had three sons who served in the RW. Through historical records and process of elimination, those three sons were Moses, b. 1760, Jesse, b. 1762 and Joshua, b. abt. 1764.

Moses McKenzie b. 1760 served as a drummer boy in Revolutionary War beginning at age 18. He enlisted at Frederick Town, Maryland and was discharged at Annapolis. He fought in the Battle of White Plains 1778, the Battle of Monmouth, and the Siege of Yorktown. He was a member of the Maryland Line. Moses served as a drummer in Lt. Col. Ludwig Weltner's German Battalion. Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution , Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900 He received a Federal Land Warrant on April 8, 1793 for 100 acres of land (that being Federal Warrant Number 11,514) for his service in the Revolutionary War. Revolutionary Records, Harry Wright Newman, Genealogical Publishing Company (1993), page 72, originally published 1938. Ed. Note:
The name was spelled McKinsey at the time. In addition to Moses McKenzie's Federal Land Warrant, his brothers also applied for and received land warrants of their own. Jesse McKinsey received Federal Land Warrant 11,513 and Joshua McKinsey received Federal Land Warrant 11, 514. In view of the sequential numbering of these warrants, it appears that the brothers applied for them at the same time which suggests a family relationship between the three.

Moses McKenzie b. 1760 was a new recruit on September 5, 1778 at White Plains. Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution , Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900. All of the Muster Rolls reflect that his brother, Joshua McKenzie was in the same battalion and also served as a drummer boy. The records further reflect that Moses and Joshua served in Lt. Col. Weltner's battalion from 1 August 1780 until 15 November 1783. During that period of time they served as Privates.

Moses’ Federal Land Warrant reads as follows:

To the GEOGRAPHER of the UNITED STATES, or to the Surveyors appointed by him to survey the Military Lands. YOU are hereby required to Survey for MOSES MCKINSEY, a soldier in the Maryland Line during the late war - - - One Hundred Acres of Land, in any of the Districts appropriated for satisfying the Bounties of Land, due to the late Army of the United States, and return this Warrant to the Board of Treasury, agreeably to the Act of Congress of the ninth Day of July, 1788.

By an Act of the Maryland Legislature in 1777, it was ordered that a bounty of 50 acres of land should be given to each able-bodied recruit who enlisted and served in the American Army for a period of three years. An additional Act was passed in 1781 directing that these lands should be chosen from the territory of the State of Maryland lying West of Fort Cumberland. History of Cumberland by Loudermilk.

Moses came from Pennsylvania to Maryland around 1794. He purchased Lot 3416 in Allegany County on December 13, 1795. He then sold that lot to Daniel Lawrence Speelman in 1798 Allegany County, Maryland real estate records, Deed Book “A”, page ___. and signed the deed as Moses of Bedford County, Pennsylvania with Sarah, his wife, relinquishing her dower rights. The Cumberland area was not very populated at the time Moses McKenzie moved to the area. There were settlements in an area called Old Town as well as in Cumberland. Moses McKenzie along with Gabriel McKenzie, Joshua McKenzie, Daniel McKenzie and Samuel McKenzie were listed as being some of the settlers living on land lying West of Fort Cumberland. (History of Allegany County, Maryland by Thomas & Wilson page 3; Scharf’s History of Western Maryland, Volume 2, page 13439).

In April, 1818, Moses McKenzie, a resident of Allegany County, State of Maryland, applied for a pension by right of his services during the American Revolution. Revolutionary Pension of Moses McKenzie, W 4288, National Archives, Washington, D.C. He swore before the Circuit Court of that county that he was aged 58 years, and had enlisted at Frederick Town, Maryland in the German Regiment as a drummer boy - date of enlistment not given. He was assigned to the company of Captain Baltzell, and participated in the Battles of Monmouth and Yorktown.

Moses’ pension ultimately was approved but he died on March 3, 1824.

In October, 1841, his widow, Sarah McKenzie, of Cresaptown, Maryland, aged 76 years, applied for a widow’s pension by rights of her deceased husband’s service in the Revolutionary War. She the said Sarah McKenzie swore that she married Moses McKenzie sometime in the month of December, 1784. John Durbin of Knox County, Ohio, made an affidavit that he was present at the wedding which took place at the residence of Jacob Slagle in Hampshire County, Virginia, and that the ceremony was performed by a Catholic priest. Lucy M. Vicker, of Allegany County, Maryland, aged 69, submitted an affidavit stating that she was present at the marriage of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie, the latter also being named McKenzie. The claim of the widow, Sarah McKenzie, likewise was approved by the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C. Revolutionary Pension of Moses McKenzie, W 4288, National Archives, Washington, D.C..

Moses’ pension for his service in the Revolutionary War reads as follows: “ a sum of money, annually during life, quarterly, equal to half pay of a drummer in the rev. war." Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County and Church from Original Sources by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, M.S., M.D., Volume II, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1985. The pension paid to Moses’ widow, Sarah reads as follows: “during life, half yearly, half pay of a private, for her husband, Moses McKinsey's”services during the Rev. War." Id.

Moses McKenzie died on 24 MAR 1824 in Cresaptown, Maryland.

I don’t see a Samuel listed in the Oath document that Don circulated last week. Am I just missing it?)

Speaking of John and Katherine Gabriel McKenzie, I had a very unexpected surprise this week. I was in Baltimore for a two-day conference. I had hoped to be able to take a day and go to Annapolis, to the Hall of Records, but my schedule didn't work out that way. Anyway, I got lost trying to get to my hotel and I found myself on the new expressway ("100") leading to Ellicott City. Ellicott City is along the Patapsco River, very close to the original plantation belonging to John and Katherine. One thing lead to another, and I ended up finding what's left of the old plantation site (which dates back to 1716 and is made up of McKenzie's Discovery, Hopson's Choice and a number of other land patents), and meeting the people who live there now. Their names were Phil and Jean and they were incredibly nice people. Fortunately they are very interested in preserving history so they have done an excellent job of preserving the property. The main house is a lovely white colonial, built by Aaron and John McKenzie in 1890 on the site of a much older home. The house is surrounded by very old "out buildings," including a log cabin smoke house and a stable/blacksmith's shop. It was very exciting and I came away with lots of good information. Jean and Philip gave me a copy of an article that was written in the Central Maryland News newspaper about their property. I'm planning to include a copy of it in the Quest notebook (which she never produced for the other McKenzie Quest researchers), but here are some of the highlights:

The home stands on land that was once part of two tracts, "Addition to Hopson's Choice" and "McKenzie's Neglect." McKenzie's Neglect was a piece of land that was incorporated into "McKenzie's Discovery." The earliest home of record on the site was a log cabin built by Aaron McKenzie in 1817. Aaron eventually erected a smokehouse in 1830, also made of logs, and an old log barn that was inscribed "Built by Aaron McKenzie February 1860." A third building, this one of stone, served as a blacksmith shop. The brick chimney and hearth as well as the huge wood and leather bellows are still there. A carriage house built in 1880 completes the group of out buildings, while the retaining wall of an old corn crib now serves as a lovely rock garden. Most of the buildings are still complete with hardware made at the forge. At the southeast corner of the original survey a small cemetery can be found. Three crude carved granite headstones mark the graves of three of the early McKenzie residents. They read: D:M -- B 1798, D 1885; S.D:M -- B 1811, D 1894; Ruth:M -- B 1838, D 1891. The main house, built in 1890, sits on the site of the original log cabin. It has eight rooms and two baths. The foundation stones were cut from the granite quarry on the property. An unusual feature of the cellar is the arched construction under the kitchen fireplace, a feature commonly found only in much older homes. Ash and chestnut beams were used in the construction. The plaster is of the old type, with cow or horse hair mixed in it to give it strength. The floors are pine. (The article goes on to describe the house in more detail.)

The property remained in McKenzie hands until 1900, when a portion of it was sold to Susannah Keyes. The remaining land was sold to Dolly Madison MacLean in 1930. It is this second portion (40 acres) that eventually found its way into the hands of the current owners.

Back to Mike McKenzie's e-mail: I was curious about the waterfall as well (John and Katherine were supposedly buried beside the "main falls of the Patapsco River"). I asked everyone I could find about it, including Jean and Phil, and the lady in the Tavern in Ellicott City. No one knew what I was talking about. They did say that the Patapsco River used to be much, much bigger and that it has since become almost completely "silted in." I did find a reference in one book to a falls at Elk Ridge Landing, which is within a few miles of the old plantation site, so I went there as well on Wednesday. The river apparently used to be navigable up to this point by ocean-going ships (hence the name Elk Ridge LANDING). This is where the plantation owners took their hogsheads of tobacco for shipment to Europe. Today the area is a park, but the river is so silted-in that there is nothing left but a shallow creek. No sign of a waterfall there either.”

Ed. Note: In J. Thomas Scharf, The History of Baltimore City and County, the author states at page 15, (referring to the Patapsco River, “It has been in former times the avenue into the heart of the country, through which large schooners passed to points nearly as far as the Relay House. This, however, is no longer possible. The great flood of July, 1868, tore away such quantities of sand, soil and other materials from the country above as to fill up the channel for about four miles, leaving only two or three feet of water in places where it was formerly ten or twelve feet deep”.

Today I talked to the director of the Howard Co. Historical Society. (The area is no longer part of Ann Arundel Co.) She said she would help me research the family and the history of the river. Hopefully I'll have more information in the future on this. Lastly, with regard to directions, I'd like to handle it "off line" for reasons of privacy. Before I left Jean and Phil's house, I mentioned our McKenzie Quest project. I asked for their permission to tell the other members of our group about them. I said that that would probably mean that they would have more visitors in the future. (Amazingly they have only had THREE McKenzies come calling since Jean's family bought the place in 1955!) At first she hesitated, but then she said "Why not. McKenzies are such nice people." (How nice of her to notice!) If anyone else would like to visit the place I would suggest that you contact me and I'll give you Jean and Phil's phone number, and directions. I talked to Phil today on the phone to thank them again for their hospitality. He said that Jean had just mailed off a package containing copies of all the information they have on the property -- for the Quest notebook. I was touched. I thought that was so sweet.

27.Will found in Anne Arundel County, Box M Folder 13, with copy in Maryland Hall of Records, Liber 30, pp. 521-522.

A transcription of the will reads as follows:

28.Anne Arundel County, Box 60, folder 9, John MacKenzie, 1758, [MSA S541-69]

29.Account of John McKenzie’s estate can be found at Anne Arundel County Liber 37, folio 185; Liber 37, p. 226 [MSA S529-55]; Liber 68, folio 54; Debt Book F, pg. 62; Liber 38, folio 279; Liber 38, folio 466; Liber 40, folio 332; Liber 40 [MSA S529-58]; Folio 340; Liber 41, pp. 27, 60, 108, 113, 140, 175, 201, 354, and 404.

30.The author has seen "Hopson's" Choice spelled both "Hopson's" and "Hobson's" in various references to the McKenzies of Early Maryland. The correct piece of property is “Hopson’s Choice”. The original Will of John McKenzie refers to it as "Hopson's" Choice. Also, the original patent from the 1718-21 era refers to it as Hopson’s Choice. There was a patent for a piece of property known as Hobson’s Choice, but it is an altogether different piece of property and has nothing to do with the McKenzies of Early Maryland.


31.It is generally accepted among researchers of this McKenzie line that the sixth child referenced in John MacKenzie's will is Gabriel McKenzie. The similarity of names of his offspring, when compared with his brothers and sisters suggests that he was the unnamed child in the will. Also, since he was the oldest, and based upon existing land records, he was already an established farmer with hundreds of acres of land of his own at the time his father died in 1758. As noted in his “Source” on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site, the extent of his property holdings is borne out in the deed records from various counties in Maryland. Finally, in addition to the foregoing, in July, 2010, Michael A. McKenzie, one of the authors of this “Source” located a document in the Maryland State Archives that unequivocally proves that Gabriel McKenzie was the son of John MacKenzie. In Perogative Court (Inventories) Box 68, pp. 54-56 John MacKenzie, 1759 [MSA S534-69] on page 56 following the itemization of John MacKenzie’s personal property is the notation “Gabriel MacKenzie. Nearest relation.” To the best of the author’s knowledge, there were no other Gabriel McKenzies living in Maryland from 1700-1750. Consequently, the aforementioned document is written proof that links together John and Gabriel and legitimizes earlier researchers’ “beliefs” that the two were father and son, respectively.

32.Deed Book IB 5 page 317, Anne Arundel records.

33.As of December 2010, with the assistance of Google Maps and Ann Stansbarger, the property was located north-northwest of Ellicott City, Maryland. See also the map entitled McKenzie’s Discovery Enlarged, Hopkins Atlas of 1878 Howard County, Maryland which depicts the general area where the land was located. The location on the map coincides with the references in all of the various early deeds which stated that the land was located south of the main falls of the Patapsco River. There also is a document prepared by Dr. Caleb Dorsey that Ann Stansbarger located at the Howard County Historical Society that shows how all of the various parcels of McKenzie property fit together just south of the Patapsco River. That map is located on the McKenzies of Early Maryland web site, www.mckenziesofearlymaryland.com.

John + Katherine Unknown. Katherine was born in Unknown; died before 1776 in Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Excerpt from McKenzies of Early Maryland by: Michael A. McKenzie:

On 2 APR 1776 John’s grandson, William McKenzie, son of Aaron, sold to Greenbury Randall 96 acres of “McKenzie’s Discovery”. The parties agreed that 1/4 acre “at the head of the great falls on the Petapsico (sic) River where John MacKenzie and his wife are buried” will be reserved. Obviously, by 1776, Katherine McKenzie also had died. This property is now in Howard County, Maryland, across the river from Baltimore County.
