Notes:

Josephine (Jody) Moeller, Saint Charles, Illinois (jmoeller@inil.com) has compiled much information on this important early Fayette County family.

Josephine's information substantially updates what was published in Fayette Facts, Vol. 3, No. 4, pages 62-63 (1974), taking the family back an additional two generations, and forward . . .

The McKenzie family came to Fayette County with the Ohio migration of LOGUE and DURBIN families. Josephine writes, "To me, the preponderance of the evidence suggests that our Gabriel (1758-1832) was the son of Gabriel McKenzie(1715 - 1793) and Sarah Durbin. The most telling evidence is the Maryland Tax List of 1783 which shows a second Gabriel as a bachelor, on a different page, from the rest of the family.

Additional information from Ann Stansbarger:

The best record for Gab'l Jr. is the 1783 Tax Assessment for Washington County, Maryland. This assessment is broken into two separate sections: Heads of Household and Bachelors. These sections are recorded on two separate pages of the list.

Heads of Household:
Gabriel
Daniel
Aaron
Samual

Bachelors:
Gabriel Jr.

I can't believe I'm still up and it is 2:30 in the am. I'm reading the documents on your website (ed. note website would be Michael McKenzie's Mckenzies of Early Maryland website - www.mckenziesofearlymaryland.com). I noticed something very interesting.

In your Sources section, under Gabriel McKenzie, you have a paragraph which describes two land transactions for the year 1792. In the first, Gabriel and his wife cleared up a problem with the release of her dower rights on 25 April 1792. You have a copy of this document in your media section. Gabriel and his wife both sign this document with their marks. In the second transaction, as described below, Gabriel sells his Lot 3365 to Peter Majors on 16 May 1792, which is less than one month later.......But this is not the same Gabriel.

If you look closely at your Media items 117, 118, and 119, this document clearly say "Gabriel Jr." His mark is also different than that of his father. Also, note there is no mention of Sarah in this document. This is Gabriel's son, the same Gabriel Jr. who was a bachelor in the 1783 tax assessment. Your Media items 120 and 121 from 1803, however, say simply "Gabriel." I believe Gabriel Senior died in that period of three weeks between 25 April and 16 May 1792.

Your paragraph says: "One of the last known land transactions involving Gabriel McKenzie occurred in connection with a patent he received for land west of Fort Cumberland on which he had settled. In November 2010, Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland provided the author with a copy of the patent issued by the State of Maryland to Gabriel McKenzie. According to Michael, the patent was difficult to locate because the property actually was patented to Peter Mayors (Majors) on May 23, 1803, although the patent itself reflects that the property was surveyed for Gabriel McKinsey..(18) Per the documents, Gabriel [this is Gabriel Jr. not Gabriel] appeared before the Honorable Andrew Bruce, one of the Justices of the Peace of Allegany County, Maryland on May 16, 1792 and conveyed the fifty acres of land comprising lot number 3365 to Peter Mayors (Majors). The lot was described as being in the “reserved land west of Fort Cumberland”. Then on May 17, 1803, another document signed by Thomas Harwood, Jr. acknowledged and swore that “Gabriel Mckinsey, a settler westward of Fort Cumberland paid the purchase money for lot 3365”. Yet another unsigned document associated with this entire group of documents states that “Gabriel McKinney settler on Lot 3365 assigned to Peter Mayors (Majors) Patent to Peter Majors the 23rd May 1803”. This last document is a little confusing in that it could be interpreted that Gabriel was still alive in 1803 and was once again acknowledging that he was assigning lot 3365 to Majors so that he could obtain his patent. Since it is assumed by researchers that Gabriel was born abt. 1715, he would have been 88 years old in 1803 if he was still alive and capable of assigning the property to Peter Majors."

I don't want to speculate on how it happened that Gabriel Jr. was able to sell his father's land. The legal ramifications of that are beyond me. But it appears that he did just that.

Also, I noticed that Media item 162 (Lot Map with Settler's Names, 1800) has an error in the lot numbers for Peter Majors and Gabriel McKenzie. The other Lot Maps are correct. I know that you didnt annotate this particular map, but I thought you might want to know because it has the settler's names on it. Lot 3365 is the verticle triangle. The upside down triangle to the left of it, marked "Peter Majors Lot 3365," should say "Lot 3376." Since this map is dated 1800, I'm assuming Peter Major's name should be on Lot 3365, in lieu of Gabriel McKenzie's name.

I think these deeds combined with the tax rolls conclusively prove that gabriel, Jr. was the son of Gabriel (b. 1715)
