Notes:

More research needs to be done as to where he was born - Maryand or Pennsylvania. There is an Ancestry record in US and International Marriages 1560-1900 which lists Jesse's birthplace as being Pennsylvania.

Jesse McKenzie is listed in the Census of Allegany County, Md in 1850 as being 59 years old. His wife, Catherine, is listed as being 58 years old. They had two children living with them, Lyttleton and Ellen Jane, who are believed to be children of their daughter Jane and her husband Wesley Burton according to the research of Col. Gabriel T. MacKenzie.

Jesse McKenzie is listed in the 1860 Census of Allegany County, Maryland, page 193 as being in the 6th District. His age is stated as 68. Catherine was still alive and her age is reflected as being 68.

Jesse McKenzie is referenced in Equity Case No. 734, Allegany County, Maryland Courthouse records as being the brother of Moses McKenzie, son of Moses McKenzie (b. 1760).

In 1848 a Complaint was filed in the Court of Equity of Allegany County, Maryland by the brothers and sisters of Moses McKenzie, (died 1838), son of Moses McKenzie (b. 1760), requesting that a parcel of land (known as the "Western Road") left by Moses when he died intestate in 1838 be equitably partitioned. This was the same parcel of land that was conveyed to Moses McKenzie (Moses McKenzie father b. 1760)) by Daniel Shriver, Jr. on September 13, 1812 and otherwise referred to in that deed as the "Western Road" property. The equity case lists all of Moses (died 1838) 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 1866 another Equity Complaint was filed in the Court of Equity of Allegany County Case No. 1604, Maryland by the heirs of Jesse McKenzie seeking the equitable partition of land left by Jesse McKenzie (b. 1791) when he died intestate. The Complaint references the children of Jesse McKenzie, including Benjamin Franklin McKenzie, who was living on the land at the time the action was filed. The case lists all of the children of Jesse McKenzie and also notes that Jesse’s wife, Catherine had passed away in 1864. Ultimately, the land was ordered to be sold by the Court and the proceeds distributed to the various heirs
