Francis Patrick MCKENZIE and Sarah Margaret GARLITZ were married on 5 Aug 1866 in Allegany Co., Maryland. Francis Patrick McKenzie and Sarah Garlitz are cousins. Much inter-family marriage happened because of the few number of people in the area coupled with the fact that Catholics were encouraged to marry Catholics.

Singular Deaths With Many Coincidences in Life and Death

Henry Garlitz and Morgan Robinson died about ten days ago on Pea Ridge in Garrett county. They lived on adjoining farms for most of their lives and their dual deaths came within an hour of each other. Their ages were the same, verging on 80 years; always near neighbors, of the same politics (Democratic) and religion (Catholics) and buried in the same cemetery at St. Ann's church nearby. They were two good, honest, law-abiding citizens. No one ever had just cause to complain of either of them. Their places in usefulness can not soon be filled. Both left children and grandchildren. Robinson left a widow, but the wife of Garlitz died some years ago. He was the last son of Christian Garlitz, who died in 1868. They were both of old Allegany county stock with large family ramifications. Cumberland, March 9 ~ J.B." The Republican (Oakland, MD), March 12, 1903

Henry GARLITZ and Lucy Ann MCKENZIE were married on 23 Jul 1843. Western Maryland Catholics:
29 JUL 1843 Henry Garlitz m. Lucy McKenzie by dispensation of the Archbishop (first cousins) in presence of Charles Beal, Mrs. Geatty. They Had some months since gone before a Squire in Pennsylvania. BLO p. 135

Marriage recorded in Western Maryland Catholics, Koch and Davidson, page 57.

Henry married Lucy Ann McKenzie on 29 Jul 1843. Lucy (daughter of Samuel F. McKenzie and Margaret (Peggy) Baker) was born on 21 Feb 1824 in Greenville, Somerset County, Pennsylvania; died on 4 May 1901 in Avilton. Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Sponsors of the Children of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795) Which Circumstantially Suggests that Samuel McKenzie (b. 1751) (“Old Sam”) was John M.’s Father - by Michael A. McKenzie May, 2014

1.Before we begin with the sponsors of John M.’s children, note that John M. named his second child Samuel. May be a clue.
2.May, 1819, Samuel McKenzie, sponsors: Samuel McKenzie and Hanna Logston. Is this Samuel (1850, “Old Sam”, John’s father and this boy’s grandfather?
3.June, 1821, Harriett McKenzie, sponsors: Moses and Catherine McKenzie. I think this was Moses Ignatius McKenzie and his wife, Catherine. Moses Ignatius was a known child of Samuel ("Old Sam") and would have been John M.’s oldest brother.
4.September, 1823, John M. McKenzie, Jr., sponsor: Helen McKensey. Query: is this a misspelling of “Ellen”? If so, this may be John M.’s sister, Eleanor (Ellen_ and one of Samuel McKenzie’s (1751) daughters. The fact that there is only one sponsor reinforces that Helen/Ellen was not married and coincides with the information I recently sent you with respect to Samuel F. McKenzie (b. 1805).
5.September, 1840, Peter McKenzie, sponsors: May and Basil McKenzie. The only Basil of which I am aware was the son of Moses Ignatius McKenzie referenced above. Basil would have been John M.’s nephew, and the grandson of Samuel McKenzie (1751).
6.May, 1844, Francis McKinzie, sponsors being Sam’l F. McKinzie and Reb. Garlitz. This could be one of two people: Samuel F. McKenzie (abt. 1791), who was John M.’s brother or Samuel F. McKenzie (1805), who I have proposed was the son of Ellen McKenzie of Samuel (1751).

Conclusion
These are the recorded baptisms of John M.’s children in which I can identify the sponsors. In every one that I can identity, there is some connection to Samuel McKenzie (1751). Ergo, I conclude that Samuel McKenzie (1750) was the father of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795).

John married Hannah Tomlinson in 1816. Hannah (daughter of Jesse Tomlinson) was born about 1794; died on 10 Oct 1838. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In October, 2018, Ann McKenzie Stansbarger sent the following email to Michael McKenzie concerning the name of hannah Tomlinson. There are references to a Hannah "Tumbleson" on pages 79 and 81 of Western Maryland Catholics - Koch and Davidson. That is a misspelling.

Ann wrote:

A few years back I dug into the Tomlinson’s of western Maryland and looked at census records for every Tomlinson family over an extended period of time for girls of the right age. Then I looked for records of marriages and burials for all the girls of the right age, in order to rule out the ones that were not Hannah. It came down to two candidate Tomlinson families with girls of the right age who were not otherwise accounted for.

Then I looked at the names of the children of John M McKenzie and Hannah and compared them to the names of the brothers and sisters in the two candidate families.

There was a clear winner. The children’s names matched one family. It was the Tomlinson family who owned the Red House Inn on the National Road in Garrett Co. The father’s name was Jesse. They were not Catholi

Jacob + Margaret Hansel. Margaret was born about 1793; died about 1840. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He died in 1873 at the age of 76 in Maryland. Here is part of the article that I found in Brown's Miscellaneous Writings
1880 - 1895
By Jacob Brown, Cumberland, MD 7-23-1896
On Page 42 -
Avilton, Garrett County.There has been a decided improvement in this community not only in the people, but in every way, in the past few years. Beautiful new residences greet your eyes in many places, such as HON. GEORGE BLOCHER and his brother HENRY, who has just finished a handsome residence upon the old BLOCHER-MUSSELLMAN seat, and MR. PATRICK DORSEY, who is comforted in one of the very finest dwellings in the country. We were guests of the widow HANSON BROWN. She and her son JOHN H. BROWN run the best farm on the ridge. Their energy and prudence have been rewarded this season with full crops of all kinds for "man and beast." Her home is one of great hospitality and generosity to the many comers and goers, and of course, she is much liked and respected. She is a reader and a subscriber of the REPUBLICAN, and wonders why her bill does not put in appearance for payment, as it is her only known debt. A healthy financial condition truly. We met another patron, the spouse of a moderate Democrat, and a close reader of the REPUBLICAN - a lady of sense and considerable information. The writer was modestly questioned as to the authorship of certain articles heretofore published in the paper named of a historic character. She seemed to take pleasure in admitting she had read them with pleasure and interest, but she begged to say there was one error, in stating WILLIAM CONRAD was the last survivor of the jury that convicted GEORGE SWEARENGEN IN 1829. She averted her ancestor JACOB WINTERS, one of that panel, died a year or two later than CONRAD. No doubt she is right. A bright woman is hard to beat on matter of fact. There can be no impropriety in saying the lady referred to is MRS. ANDREW LANCASTER. Just here let it be remarked city people greatly mistake and underate the intelligence and general information of the country people. Many of them are careful readers, and make good practical use of what they read and observe. It was not difficult to persuade us to make a visit to our old friend P. DORSEY. Here one finds genuine hospitality and pure civility. His much respected wife died several years ago. His household is handsomely presided over by his trained daughters who make it pleasant for you whether it be a short or long stay. DORSEY is doing a large and prosperous business in the manufacture of lumber and shingles; for the latter there is more demand now than for some years, at good prices. This industry is now the only one of the kind in this part of the country. The pioneer settler in this neighborhood was CHRISTIAN GARLITZ, at least 70 years ago. He built a cabin near where the Catholic church now stands in the dense woods, mostly pine. Tradition has it that in clearing a spot of ground around the house a perverse, tree was felled upon it with the young wife inside. The anxious cry was "SALLY, are you dead." She was unhurt, but strange to say, more than fifty years after, good old CHRISTY was killed in the woods by the fall of a tree. The men here of three score or more, are ELI WHITZELL, CHRISTIAN BLOCHER, ANDREW BLOCHER, LEO McKENZIE, ISRAEL GARLITZ and P. DORSEY, all respectable and good citizens. The two oldest died with the last year -- JESSE W. CHANEY and JEREMIZH McKENZIE. October 16th, 1888.

_______________________________________________________________________


Having been drawn to this place on business, with a few days of social pleasures added, it has been thought fit to furnish the public with suggestion of a local and personal nature, that may not be unacceptable to the reader. The old name of this neighborhood is "BLUE LICK:, latter caller "PEA RIDGE." the post office established here, about a year ago is called "AVILTON," has a tri-weekly mail supplied from LONACONING, with rapidly increasing reading matter. Mr R E GARLITZ is the attentive postmaster. He also runs a country variety store and drive a thrifty business. The ubiquitous drummer has found him, though far in the interior. At convenient distances are two churches -- Catholic and Dunkard, but no school-house range. The frequent remark here is "Why don't the double headed School Board quit wasting the people's money in factious lawsuits?" The OLD ROBINSON MANSION is now being dismantled to be use for school purposes for the coming term. Attended Dunkard church last Sunday. This was their annual meeting and the most important one of the year, being the occasion of the Love Feast, which was celebrated the night before. The ceremony consist of the communion, partaking of the lamb soup and feet-washing. The REV. J. HOOVER, from Salisbury, Pa., was the minister. He is a bright, intelligent man, and preached a very respectable sermon; one worthy of attention. He looks like any other respectable minister, and is orthodox in his opinions and teachings, but not oppressively so. His subject was the covering and uncovering of the head, which was clearly handled. Evidently he was dealing with the hat and bonnet question now vexing that sect. the church here is (PAGE 43) said to be in prosperous condition. But their spacious, plain edifice, now fifteen years old, needs a coat of white paint. They are able, but not willing, for such an enterprise. This whole neighborhood was once densely covered with white pine and spruce, but it has in years past been cut and made into lumber in its various forms. In the places of once pine forests, of pine trees are now many farms under good cultivation, with excellent crops this season and a ready market for all surplus products in the GEORGE'S CREEK VALLEY. The continuous rains for many weeks have delayed and somewhat damaged the crops, but still the yield will be more than an average, even though some buckwheat and corn should be spoiled. Besides the ceriels and provender, there is an immense chestnut crop, now nearing its close. Plenty of sleek pigs in the woods.

Christian married Sarah McKenzie about 1815. Sarah (daughter of Samuel McKenzie and Unknown) was born about 1788 in Mt. Savage, Maryland; died before 1854 in Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Several children of Sarah died during an epidemic of scarlet fever. Samuel and Israel lived at Avilton on adjoining farms. John moved to Laurel Hill in Pennsylvania. Henry bought the home farm, but sold it in 1859 to Leo and Jeremiah McKenzie. One of Israel's sons was Isadore, who married Matilda Elizabeth McKenzie; she inherited the old Garlitz farm from her father Jeremiah. Thus the old Garlitz homestead returned to Garlitz hands.

Samuel married Margaret (Peggy) Baker on 7 Mar 1814 in Allegany County, Maryland. Margaret was born on 9 Feb 1795 in Pennsylvania; died about 1851. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
