Notes:

The following excerpt is from John Marshall Porter's "Sketches of Maryland Porters", circa 1976. Scott Carter Williams brought it to the attenetion of Michael A. McKenzie in 2018.

John Porter...Son of Samuel, and Brother of Scuire Mike, grew up on Play Place, the land Samuel bought from the Anderson heirs. The Porter genealogy gives Oct. 3, 1815 as the date John married Hannah Combs. Nine children, (two of whom died in infancy) were born to them over the next twenty years. My father never spoke much of his Uncle John. He could have spoken only from hearsay because John died in 1862, and my father was born in 1863. So we can only speculate on why John chose to move his growing family from the rough mountain backwoods of the Porter Settlement of Piney Mountain to the much rougher backwoods of Preston County, (Virginia) then. The state didn't become West Virginia until 1863. But in April of 1841, with the aid of George Clise, Squire Mike's son-in-law, he and his wife and seven children traveled for five days to cover the eighty miles of mountain roads from Allegany County, Maryland, to the area of Horse Shoe Run, in Preston County.

John's wife, Hannah, who had long been suffering the effects of paralysis died three years after the moving. Records say it was the year 1844, and that she was buried in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, near Aurora, W. Va.

John's older children were of marriageable age by that time, and some of them married into the families they came to live among.

It has been written that the land John moved to was raw wilderness then, and much of their living was from the wild game of the forests. But being a Porter, and with knowledge of clearing and farming land, it is certain that with the help of his sons, he soon had a farm cleared. John and his youngest daughter Ellen lived with his son Samuel until his death in 1862.

Within the next twenty years, John's children had all married and had farms of their own. John Myers Lawrence, third son of John married Emily Domire and bought a farm at Lead Mine, a distance of 15 miles south of Horse Shoe Run. He ran a small store and was the first Postmaster of that small community.

Little more can be learned of the period of time John and Hannah's children spent in Preston County. And we can only speculate as to what made so many of them and their families decide to move to the area of Blissfield,
Michigan in 1864. Whether they learned of better and easier ways to cultivate land there, or if a big lumber company came and made them good offers for their land, either of which could have been their reasons. But in that year, a train left Oakland, Md. and hauled the personal property, including household effects, live stock and farm implements and 84 people to Lewanne,Co. near Blissfield, Michigan.

All of John's living sons, and several daughters left Preston County with that group, except John Myers Lawrence whom records say, didn't go to Michigan until 1870.

John's oldest son William Thomas Porter had married Susan Sell. He was a minister, and owned a farm. He died in 1858, six years before the migration to Michigan. I have been on the farm formerly owned by William Thomas numerous times, and have photographed his fallen tombstone and forgotten resting place that is somewhere between the house and barn on that farm. The inscription on that smooth, maroon granite stone reads William Thomas Porter, Born 1820...Died 1858. He was only 38 years old.

I have been told by distant relatives whom I chance to meet in that area that Susan Sell Porter re-married some years after William Thomas died.

Several of the children of William Thomas Porter and Susan Sell went to Michigan to live among the Porters in later years. But a number of them stayed in Preston County, and many of their descendants still live there.

Also, John's daughter Maria, who married Steven Harsh did not go to Michigan with her brothers and sisters. Many of her descendants still live in Preston County, and other sections of West Virginia.

Samuel Doak Porter, a great grandson of John who moved to Preston Co. compiled a genealogy of the Maryland and West Virginia Porters. He did a remarkable job considering, as he wrote me in one of his many letters, "So many of the letters I wrote to gather information of the various descendants fell on deaf ears." Thus, some of the lines of descendants are either omitted or incomplete. This is unfortunate, because I doubt that another such genealogy of this vast and scattered group of relatives will ever be written again.

John + Sarah McKenzie. Sarah (daughter of Moses Jr. McKenzie and Sarah Ann McKenzie) was born about 1798; died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sarah McKenzie is referenced in Equity Case No. 734, Allegany County, Maryland Courthouse records as being the sister of Moses McKenzie, Jr.

Notes:

This information comes from Samuel Doak Porter.

Samuel married Sarah Jane Anderson about 1790 in Rose Meadows, Allegany County, Maryland. Sarah was born about 1772; died about 1863. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: John Porter
• Death: 1810, , Allegany, Maryland

Notes:

See the notes asociated with John's alleged father, John Porter (b. abt. 1690) for the questions which exist as to whether John Thomas Porter, Jr. was the father of Gabriel McKenzie Porter.

Regarding Rose Meadows:

John Porter settled between Cumberland and Frostburg in 1792 on a farm known as Rose Meadows, from the profusion of wild roses which grew there. John built a substantial house on a south slope which remained in the family until about 1864. At that time, the owner, William R. Porter, sold it to a mining company who wanted it for the coal and tan-bark. The homestead came back into the family about 1916 when it was purchased by Walter and Celia Porter Engle. There is no trace of the house today, but a sketch painting thereof is in the possession of the Engle family. The Porter Cemetery, sometimes called the Rose Meadows Cemetery, is located a short distance north of the site. (From the book "A Genealogy of the Porter Family of Maryland, West Virginia, Michigan" by Samuel Doak Porter.

The John Porter and his brother Moses who helped survey the Mason-Dixon Line served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Paxton's Bedford County militia (The John Porter and his brother Moses who helped survey the Mason-Dixon
Line served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Paxton's Bedford County militia(Pa. Archives, 5th Series, Vol. V. page 116) (Pa. Archives, 5th Series, Vol. V. page 116)

The following email was sent to Don Kagle by Alan Williams on September 10, 2018. In essence the hunt for the parents of John, Moses and Henry Porter goes on as of September, 2018.

I do appreciate that info Dick, I was unaware of the Scritchfield effort.

We are cousins of the Scritchfields through Margaret Porter, born in Bedford County PA 1805 and died there in 1852, my 2nd Cousin 4 x removed. She married John Burley, and one of their children, Catherine, born 1838, married Samuel Scritchfield in 1863.

Margaret Porter was a child of William Porter and Mary Nelson and a granddaughter of Moses Porter and Margaret McKenzie.

John, Moses and Henry, Porter Brothers, are the oldest verifiable links in our line. Samuel Doak Porter (SDP) and Col. McKenzie (whose notes we hope will yield insight into their thinking) recounted the idea of the Singing Emigrant, John Porter, Catholic/Jacobite protester landing in Maryland @1715 and marrying the Huguenot of Swiss origin, Elinor Durier.

That story has been in dispute since it first saw print, and a Baltimore Sun article in 1912 that claimed John was an ‘Irish immigrant who landed in Boston’ got an angry rebuke in the next week’s letters to the editors from Glissan T. Porter, lawyer and newspaperman of Allegany County, who faithfully recounted the story SDP printed in the Bluebook.

Since then, based on a baptismal record for a John Porter 1697 found in England, people have ‘built trees’ going back to Charlemagne. (I don’t know why it’s always Charlemagne, apparently he was father to us all.)

We’ve got so many lines of investigation open into who Henry John and Moses parents were! But its far to early to burden you all with the possibilities. I am certain that

A. They had parents.
B. They are Brothers.
C. We have dug into many of the same ‘suspects’ that SDP and others have examined. So many, in fact, that I’ve become only too conversant with all the Porter/Portes/Borter lines of the Mid-Atlantic. I’ve had to build so many family trees to keep track of them so we can avoid running over old clues and thinking them to be fresh.

That said, we don’t think we’re at a brick wall. Now with DNA and better organized records, we’re able to fairly quickly rule a theory in or out of play. Part of the problem is that SDP claimed many children for our First John, quickly announced that ‘nothing more is known of them’ for 4, and then also passed Henry quickly out of view, so the bulk of his work revolves around (solely) John and Moses in Allegany County and their descendants.

People have long associated John Henry and Moses with the ‘Arnold Settlement’ and had assumed a bridge back to Carrollton. That’s where we are. Asserting anything back to the 15th Century is wishful thinking.

John married Nancy Ann McKenzie in 1767 in Carroll County, Maryland. Nancy (daughter of Moses Sr. McKenzie and Nancy Jane (Rachel) Porter) was born in Hopson's Choice, Maryland; died after 1789 in Allegany County, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The followig information was sent to the author in Augsut, 2018 by Phil Brode. As one will see after reviewing the information, the location of the grave of Nancy Ann Porter is in dispute. Michael A. McKenzie August 27, 2018

The Nancy Ann (McKenzie) Porter burial site has "wandered" a bit over the years for the 'assignment' in my records. For years I just assumed it was in a now unmarked grave at Porter Cemetery at Rose Meadow. Seemed reasonable when we thought the old story about John Porter's pioneer movements from Wellersburg Pa, to Mount Savage MD to ultimately getting Rose Meadow as Revolutionary War service payment, occurred much earlier than her death. Why not? (And, not unexpected that her marker would be 'lost' considering she died earlier than John & his marker is so small & primitive as well.)

But then two things challenged this idea and sent me on a search. Thanks to the superman abilities with deed searching by Scott et. al. of the Williams clan, we learned that the two 50 acre plots that were Rose Meadow proper, were not originally owned by John Porter as per the old story of his selection, BUT were purchased by John Porter from John Matthews in the mid to late 1790's. My wobbly records for Nancy Ann's death include dates of 1786 or 1788 or 1789 depending on the source, all before John bought and settled Rose Meadow. In addition, for some time, Find-A-Grave had her place of burial as Allegany County Cemetery, Cumberland MD. While visiting western Maryland one time, my mother & I took off to find this site. We found a well kept cemetery, with very few marked graves, but many many graves without markers; only to learn that this was the Potter's/Pauper's cemetery, hence unmarked graves. Suddenly this seemed to be a dead-end; no pun was intended or noticed until I typed those words. Why would someone as well off as John Porter be burying his wife there? And, why there instead of close to one of his western Maryland residences at the time of her death. I won't believe that source, until supported with cemetery records if they exist. So, she's most likely not at PC@RM if the deed records & her death dates are correct, but where is she?

The following information was sent to the writer, Michael A. Mckenzie by Scott Carter Williams in August, 2018:

All,

We have always been dependent on Samuel Doak Porters' (SDP) book for information about Nancy McKenzie (b. 1746, m 1767, d. no given). Phil Brode believes that her passing was in either 1786, 88, or 89. I am hopeful that the Colonel Gabriel T. MacKenzie’s microfilm will yield something more like source material. We know from SDP's book that he and the Colonel corresponded and the notes that I have seen so far support that. Attached is some of the Colonel’s notes regarding Nancy and John Porter Jr, plus a published page that he references in his notes regarding Gabriel McKenzie's early presence in Western Maryland - perhaps predating the end of the French and Indian War (1763). We see elsewhere that Gabriel is selling land on Pipe Creek, and this may (or may not) indicate a move in the making.

I am also attaching a resource written by SDP on the history of the Sloan family. The Sloans and the Percys were Scottish families who immigrated to WM in the 1830s and assisted the Porters in making the coal mines on Federal Hill (Rose Meadow) viable. The families soon intermarried (see a pattern?? :).

The hand written notes by the Colonel in the first attachment are from an informant named "Ann Sloan" who is referenced in the second document as a granddaughter of John M. Porter (Squire Jack). This makes her the grand-grand daughter of John Porter Jr. (b. 1737). The reason that I share this article is this quote from SDP:

"Several of his (John Porter Jr's) and Nancy's brothers came with him to Allegany County and settled near him."

Gabriel and sons may have been settled west of Fort Cumberland as early as the 1750s or 60s according the Century of Growth book. We know from Bedford Co Census documents that both John Porter and Gabriel McKenzie (and sons) were there just before the war broke out. We also know that the identified sons of Moses Sr (Moses Jr, Joshua, and Jessie) enlisted and served in Frederick County during the war (not near Fort Cumberland). Therefore, if Nancy came west with John Porter and her brothers at the same time (pre-war) it would follow that "Nancy's brothers" may have been Gabriel's sons, not Moses Sr's. The theory, however, could be negated if Moses Sr had older sons (closer to Nancy's age) that moved at the same time as Gabriel.

We have much to learn, and I am hopeful that the Colonel’ss notes will bear more fruit for us.

The writer, Michael A. Mckenzie responded to Scott with the following email. This information is being placed here so that current and future researchers will know and understand the thought processes that played out w/r/t to the topic of just whom was Nancy Ann McKenzie's father.

Here is the reply email:

Hi All:

So many emails, so much to think about.

I am still going through emails from the past few days and reflecting on what was written.

Scott stated below: "Several of his (John Porter Jr's) and Nancy's brothers came with him to Allegany County and settled near him."

Gabriel and sons may have been settled west of Fort Cumberland as early as the 1750s or 60s according the Century of Growth book. We know from Bedford Co Census documents that both John Porter and Gabriel (and sons) were there just before the war broke out. We also know that the identified sons of Moses Sr (Moses Jr, Joshua, and Jessie) enlisted and served in Frederick County during the war (not near Fort Cumberland). Therefore, if Nancy came west with John Porter and her brothers at the same time (pre-war) it would follow that "Nancy's brothers" may have been Gabriel's sons, not Moses Sr's. The theory, however, could be negated if Moses Sr had older sons (closer to Nancy's age) that moved at the same time as Gabriel.

I would like to explore this for a minute because I think Scott may have hit upon something that would cause me to put Nancy Ann McKenzie as the daughter of Gabriel and not Moses, Sr.

Here is my thinking: If SDP is correct and Nancy’s brothers travelled west with them, the ages of the respective brothers make me lean towards them being the sons of Gabriel.

Let’s pick a date, say 1772. Gabriel’s son’s, Samuel and Daniel, would be 21 and 20 respectively.

Picking the same date, 1772, Moses Sr.’s sons would be 12, 10 and 8.

If one is travelling west with their brothers, I tend to lean to the older brothers and not a group of youngsters aged 8-12. Also, men in their 20’s would be “settling near her”, whereas youngsters aged 8-12 would need to be taken care of by others. When we couple this analysis with Racheal (Rachill) McKenzie placing Joshua in indentureship in 1768, it seems to support the hypothesis that Nancy was the daughter of Gabriel and not of Moses, Sr.

Just food for thought as we continue our quest.

Thoughts anyone?

Mike McKenzie

And, just to make certain we were well grounded, Ann Stansbarger wrote in response:

Hi All,

I recommend caution when it comes to Nancy Ann and here is why. We have to think about what was happening with the two brothers, Gabriel McKenzie and Moses McKenzie Sr. Gabriel began selling his properties one by one in Frederick Co at about the time of the end of the French and Indian War (1763). He had plans to move his family to western MD, which we know he ultimately did. His brother Moses, according to legend, sold his farm and was robbed and killed on the road. This would have been sometime after Joshua was conceived 1763-64 and before Joshua went into indenture, 1768 — exactly the same time Gabriel was getting ready for his move.

When Moses Sr was killed his family was thrown into turmoil. Rachel pleaded for her widow’s share of Moses’ inheritance. She said in the petition she had small children to take care of and had no money. Any older children of Moses, if there had been any, must have had to find their own way.

Were there older children? There had to have been. I don’t have the reference handy but I know it is on the MOEM site. There was “old John” McKenzie who died in Allegany Co in the mid 1790s. His estate was administered by Moses McKenzie Jr. Old John could not have been a son of Gab’l because Gab’l already had a son John. This Old John was in all likelihood a brother of Moses Jr (b1760). Since he was “old” in the mid 1790s, that says he was probably born in the mid 1740’s - about the time of Nancy Ann’s birth.

After Moses Sr died I think there was work for the older children of Moses with their uncle Gabriel. He would have needed help to clear land on his new farm in western MD, and he would have needed help farming his old lands left behind in Frederick Co, until they were eventually all sold off.

Nancy Ann, if she was a daughter of Moses, would have gotten married as soon as possible after her father’s death.

Sorry it isn’t more concrete.

Best, Ann

Then Nathan Williams added:

Ann and all,

Very important facts to keep in mind concerning Moses and family structure. I have a few points of concern over Moses Sr. being daddy based on what we know, and don't know.

- Moses' wife was said to be a Porter, daughter of John Porter, emigrant. Like other myths, we can't confirm or refute it but if true, it would mean Nancy Ann McKenzie was the niece of her husband, John Porter of Bedford/Allegany. People married close relatives, we have our share, but marrying a niece would seem strange.

- As researchers, we struggle mightly with the reality we can't place ANY of our known Porters in Maryland before they show up in Bedford, PA. Their PA record is the first confirmed appearance of John and Moses Porter. Henry is in Maryland for the 1776 loyalty oath. I will let my Uncle Scott answer Allan specifically about John Porter, emigrant, but to be honest, he is a ghost. We have no records in the US to show he existed. Our paper trail starts with his alleged sons John, Moses, and Henry Porter on the frontier.

I think that is why Moses causes us some problems. We can't really place any Porters down near the McKenzies in downstate Maryland, despite the oral stories that they were multi-generational connections between them. We are more in our comfort zone with Gabe, since he was a known neighbor, and the relationship could have started in PA, not downstate Maryland.

Now, none of that means Nancy couldn't have been living with Gabe on the frontier, or that the Porter brothers did live near Hobson's Choice, but left no records. The lack of hard dates matter too. For instance, MOEM, speculates the Porter-McKenzie marriage took place before Moses Sr's death on the road. Although, I think all those dates are estimates.

And, to stir the pot one more time, Scott Williams added:

Ann,

As you can imagine, the "ick" factor of niece/uncle thing has probably been of more concern to our side of the tree than yours *smile*, but I have an (almost) elegant solution that solves several problems at once:

•Moses Sr has a first marriage (to a non-Porter :)) that produces Nancy McKenzie and *some* older brothers
•Moses Sr has a later marriage to a Porter (Nancy Jane Rachel?) that produces the younger brothers (Moses Jr, Jessie, and Joshua)

Problem solved - and all very speculative. BUT I have noted that something changed Col. GT Mack's mind from Gabe to Moses Sr as the father of Nancy during the course of his research - so (again) time for us (the ATL gang) to better review the Col's material and get it into a format where it can be useful in research.

What you have shown, however, in these first emails is your perception of a family in crisis due to the death of a father and documented responses to duress. So if the speculation above is accurate, and we have documented Porters (Philip and maybe an older Nancy) in proximity to the Moses Sr family in about 1768 acting as part of the solution, we have really moved the ball.

I ask one question - does Team McKenzie know the origin of the Moses Sr murder story, or have an "earliest source" record of it? In my newspaper searches I found a plaintive request from a reader to the weekly column of legendary Cumberland Md columnist J. William Hunt in the 1950s seeking information on the incident. The reader's name was included and if that adds some value, I could try to find the original item and share it with you. Mr. Hunt requested that responses go directly to the reader, and not to the newspaper - ARGH!

Beyond that, I am going to leave the topic for awhile, having sufficiently stirred the pot for now :)

Scott

On September 17, 2018 the writer, Michael A. McKenzie wrote to the Porter/McKenzie Research Group and asked if anyone was aware of any primary source documents concerning Nancy McKenzie Porter. The reply later that day from Alan Williams was as follows:

My short answer is that I am not (aware of any primary source documents). One thing that’s certain is that it’s in the naming of her children that we encounter the name confusion as we had last night. Assuming Nancy to be a McKenzie (a very safe bet, I think) she names children after her husband, her father, and her uncle. No Jessies or Joshua’s though. One of the results is that Porters and McKenzie’s are shot through for generations with Gabriel, Moses, Michael and Samuels.

Porters have no first name ‘Bennett’, Rachel and Harriet (as well as Eleanor and Mary and Sarah) are popular for girls.

Both Moses and John Porter also favored Samuel in their boys, and Moses line later introduces ‘Scott’ as a frequent middle name and well as Ellis. Scott appears at a time that it may reference General Winfield Scott, the Military hero (1812 through the Mexican War) and 1852 Presidential candidate.


Needless to say, the writer concludes after these great exchanges, that something "more" will need to be located/discovered before the answer to the question posed will be known once and for all. Was Nancy the daughter of Moses (b. abt. 1720) or was she the daughter of Gabriel (b. abt. 1715)? That remains the question. Michael A. McKenzie, September 18, 2018

Notes:

From the notes of Philip J. Dietz, Jr. of McLean, Virginia:

Moses inherited 96 acres of McKenzie's Discovery from his father John II in 1758. He was murdered near Cumberland by a robber on returning home with the proceeds from having sold a farm.

Children of Moses McKenzie and Nancy Porter are:
i.   Nancy Ann McKenzie, born 1741 in Hopson's Choice, Baltimore Co.,Md.; died Aft 1786 in Allegany Co., Md.; married John Porter 1765 in Carroll Co., Md..
ii.   Samuel McKenzie, born 1759 in Frederick Co., Md..
iii.   Moses McKenzie,Jr., born 1760 in Frederick Co., Md.; died March 24, 1824 in Cresaptown, Md.; married Sarah McKenzie December 1784 in Hampshire Co., Va.
iv.   Jesse McKenzie, born 1762 in Frederick Co., Md.; died 1818; married Catherine Jones January 22, 1787.
v.   John McKenzie, born 1773.

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.

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

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.

Notes:

Thoughts from Scott Williams to the author. August 14, 2018:

I will share with you the reader's digest version of one of my avenues of research. There are no original source records that positively link the Porters with the McKenzies before settlement in Western Maryland. If you believe tradition and family lore, they must have been in close proximity to each other in the generation of Daniel, Gabriel, and Daniel McKenzie down in the Patapsco/Baltimore Co/Frederick County area. We have reported intermarriage between Henry Porter and a Durbin as well as the reported Porter/McKenzie intermarriages. Yet no one (including the Colonel) has found proof in the traditional resources like deeds, patents, etc. We have a few other MD Porters thereabouts, but we have all but eliminated them as suspects. There are a ton of Porters along the PA/MD border, and they are not so easily eliminated, but they all seem to be Scots-Irish Protestants - again, not fully disqualifying, but not too promising either.

This I do know (or propose as a thesis). The first positive connection in the record appears in Bedford County, PA. Sam and John McKenzie appear there in 1773, Gabriel and Sam in 1774 and again in 1775. John Porter appears on the next page from them in 1775 as a "renter". In 1776 Gabriel McKenzie and John Porter appear - and Sam appears as an "inmate" (uh-oh :)). The PA records appear to be non-existent for a few years then pick up again in 1779, when all I have is John Porter and no McKenzies. Do note, however that Gabriel, Aaron, Sam, and Daniel McKenzie take the loyalty oath over in Washington (now Allegany) County in 1778.

So my thesis is that Gabriel and sons moved westward to Bedford County PA beginning in 1772 and that this move appears to coincide with the sale of three properties in Frederick County. Gabriel and sons stay on the Bedford side of the line until 1777 or 78 when they move across the line into Maryland. John Porter appears adjacent to them in the record from 1775 to 1778 when they move - he stays in PA until around 1784 and eventually resettles in Maryland. John Porter is reported to have lived near Wellersburg PA with is 'just across the line' from the Mount Savage area - and if you have been there, you will know that it is pretty much "all the same place".

So, this puts John Porter in proximity to the McKenzies, but I need more in the way of kinship ties, etc. In the attached loyalty oath you will see all of our Catholic tribe in one place by 1778, including Henry Porter (brother of John and Moses Porter) who reportedly married a Durbin.

Excerpt from author's book The McKenzies of early Maryland:

Gabriel McKenzie

Gabriel McKenzie (1) was born in Hopson’s Choice, Baltimore County, Maryland about 1715. He married Sarah Durbin in 1742 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Baltimore County, Maryland. (1.1) Together they had seven children:

1.Anne McKenzie

2.Michael McKenzie

3.Samuel McKenzie (2)
Born 1750
Married Abt. 1790 to Ellen _______
Had children Samuel F., John M., Gabriel, Sara Ann, Eleanor, Polly, Jane, Catherine, Elizabeth, Moses
Died 1837 in Allegany County, Maryland per Death Register for St. Patrick’s Church.

4.Daniel McKenzie
Born Abt. 1755
Married Mary Ann Chapman 2 DEC 1779 in Washington County, Maryland
Had children William, Richard, Samuel, Mary Ann, Daniel, Aaron and James Moses
Died 1825, Allegany County, Maryland

5.John McKenzie
Born 1765
Married Lindy (Melinda) Porter
Had children Aaron, John, Daniel, Henry, Gabriel, Samuel E., Sarah,
Mary, Marjery, and Margaret
Died 1852, Madison Co, KY

6.Aaron McKenzie
Born 1768

7.Joshua McKenzie
Born 1768

On 5 NOV 1743, Gabriel McKenzie had a survey recorded for “Gabriel’s Choice”. (4) This tract lay southwest of Westminster MD, on the west side of Mt. Airy Road, between the tracts of James and Thomas Wells. The operative words of the document stated that the land was located in Baltimore County, which given the date is consistent with the fact that Frederick County (where the land is situated today) was formed from Baltimore County and Prince George’s County in 1748. It further states that Gabriel MacKenzie (actual spelling) had received a common warrant for 100 acres of land from “His Lordship’s Land Office dated the 17 Day of March, 1742 and that Gabriel was a resident of Ann Arundell County (actual spelling). (5) The land patent itself was formally issued on the “1st Day of December 1743 by Thomas Bladen, Your Lieutenant General and Chief Governor of our said Province of Maryland, Chancellor & Keeper of the Great Seal thereof.” (6)

Per Thomas Scharf, Frederick County was not a safe place for Colonial settlers at the time Gabriel purchased and owned the property. (7) “In the French and Indian War which ensued after the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1749, between England and France, Maryland became involved mainly in self-defense, and though she was to share none of its spoils, her people were destined to suffer from many of the dangers and hardships it brought in its train. Even before Braddock’s defeat bands of Indians were making forays into Frederick County burning houses and slaughtering the inhabitants, but after his disastrous overthrow on the 9th of July, 1755, and the retreat of Col. Dunbar with the remainder of the British Army to Philadelphia, the whole northern and western frontier of the province was thrown open to the Indians. Measures of defense were almost immediately adopted, but even had they sufficed for the complete protection of the wide territory to be guarded, they would scarcely have allayed the terror which had taken possession of the frontier settlers. The alarm inspired by Braddock’s defeat and by the advance of the French and Indians was so great that many inhabitants of the western settlements fled to Baltimore, and preparations were even made by the people of that town to place the women and children on board the vessels in the harbor and send them to Virginia”.

In June 1750 Gabriel sued John White for cutting down the oak trees which marked the beginning of “Gabriel’s Choice.” (8)

On 18 JUN 1754, Gabriel purchased 50 acres “Small Addition” from James (a later deed for the same property refers to the seller as John White) and Margaret White of Frederick County (Frederick County having been formed six years earlier in 1748) (9). The land was located in Frederick County and per the legal description was situated near the head of the Little Pipe Creek. The reference to “Little Pipe Creek” in both the patent for Gabriel’s Choice and in the deed for “Small Addition” suggests that the parcels may have been contiguous.

On 14 JUL 1755, Gabriel McKenzie, planter of Frederick County, and his wife Sarah deeded to Nicholas Rodgers 200 acres, part of a “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice”.(10).

On October 6, 1764, Gabriel MacKenzie of Frederick County secured a patent for 19 acres of land in Frederick County called Addition to Gabriel’s Choice. The recitations at the beginning of the deed/patent state as follows: “By virtue of a Warrant granted out of his Lordship’s Land Office of the Province to Daniel MacKenzie and John Logsdon of Ann Arundel County for seventy five acres of land bearing date 17th of January, 1764, which said warrant is assigned to Gabriel MacKenzie of Frederick County, etc.” Since Daniel McKenzie is not known to have had a child by the name of Gabriel, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the assignment of this patent is that Daniel McKenzie and John Logsdon were assigning a portion of their seventy five acres to Daniel’s brother, Gabriel. (10.5) The Logsdon connection is an interesting fact in view of the information set forth below that Gabriel’s wife also had a Durbin connection, since she was the daughter of Samuel Durbin and Anne (Logsdon) Durbin.

On 28 Jun 1769, Gabriel McKinsey of Frederick County sold to William Buchanan 80 acres more or less of the property known as the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice”. (11) The sale price was 66 Pounds. The deed reflects that the property consisted of a portion of the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice” which was patented to Gabriel on the twenty third day of July, 1755. The deed further reflected that Sarah McKinsey, wife of Gabriel, had released her dower rights after having been examined out of the presence of her husband and did so “freely and voluntarily not being induced or compelled thereto by any threats of or ill usage from her said husband or fear of his displeasure.”

Sarah McKenzie apparently was the first child of Samuel and Ann (Logsdon) Durbin. She was born September 19, 1724 in a log cabin near Westminister, Maryland. (12)

On 7 APR 1772, Gabriel McKenzie sold three parcels of land in Frederick County totaling 147 acres to George Devilbess for the sum of 310 Pounds. (13) The three tracts included: (1) part of the original tract of “Gabriel’s Choice” and part of the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice” (78 acres), (2) the “Small Addition” originally conveyed by John (sic) White to Gabriel in 1754 (50 acres) and which contains the reference to the “head of Little Pipe Creek” as referenced above and (3) a final tract entitled “Addition to Gabriel’s Choice”. Gabriel was listed as being a farmer residing in Frederick County, which coincides with the time line established by the Oath of Fidelity that Gabriel took in Washington County in 1778.

On 6 AUG 1785 Gabriel MacKinzie of Washington County (13.1) sold to Henry Hoover a parcel of property located in Frederick County called “Mount Pleasant” containing 47 acres. (14) The legal description reflected that the beginning of metes and bounds description began at the end of the “fifteenth line of Gabriel’s Choice” and ran from that location. The deed reflected that Sarah once again relinquished her dower rights. One of the Justices of the Peace who acknowledged the deed was Andrew Bruce, who during the Revolutionary War, administered the Oath of Fidelity (15) (16) to Gabriel MacKenzie. The oath was administered on 2 MAR 1778 in Washington County, Maryland.

On 25 April 1792, Gabriel McKinsey provided Leigh Master of Frederick County with a Release of Dower in connection with the previously discussed land transaction in June, 1769 between Gabriel and William Buchanan. Apparently, Sarah’s dower rights were not properly released at the time of the original transaction and the new owner wanted to obtain a clear title. The Release Deed reflected that Gabriel and Sarah were residents of Alleghany County, which is consistent with the fact that Alleghany County was carved from Washington County in 1789. The deed proves that both Gabriel and Sarah McKenzie were still alive as of April, 1792 and living in Alleghany County.

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 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.

The same Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland has pinpointed the location of the Gabriel McKenzie land patent property. In these days of Google Maps, he did a fantastic job of locating the precise piece of property. The link to the Google Maps location for the property can be found at: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=15501+bear+camp+lane+mt+savage+md&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=27.423305,56.162109&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=15501+Bear+Camp+Ln+NW,+Mt+Savage,+Allegany,+Maryland+21545&ll=39.716595,-78.87424&spn=0.012973,0.027423&t=h&z=15

Paste that link into your browser and it will take you to the property. Michael also provided the author with a copy of the 1874 Map of Military Lots, Tracts, Escheats, etc. in Garrett County and Allegany County, Maryland. That map is located in the Media Section of the McKenzies of Early Maryland website. (19) If you locate that map and look directly under the "i & n " in PENNSYLVANIA at the top of the page, you will see a triangular lot # 3365 just above “Bear Camp”. That is the 50 acres of land that comprised the Gabriel McKenzie land patent. If you compare the 1874 map with the current Google map, the same triangular piece of property appears. Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland wrote to the author in November, 2010 and advised: “the lot is still the same shape and is still 50 acres owned by a nice couple, Earl Lepley and his wife, who by the way is a descendant of Gabriel. She was blown away when I told her she is living on her Grandpappys property.”

The author assumes Gabriel McKenzie died in Allegany County, Maryland after 1793 even though no will has ever been discovered, no any letters of administration, gravestone or church record.

Endnotes

1. From this point forward, the author has drawn partially upon the research of Col. Gabriel Thornton MacKenzie, Ret. Colonel MacKenzie researched the McKenzie Family from the late 1920’s until his death in the early 1960’s. He compiled over 1800 pages of handwritten notes from his research and travels. His descendant Joseph Edward McKenzie, P.O. Box 1671, Dunedin, Florida 34697 reduced all of Colonel McKenzie’s notes to microfilm obtainable from Dataplex Corporation 1502-A Joh Avenue Baltimore, Maryland 21227. Col. MacKenzie began corresponding with McKenzie relatives in 1929. Those early letters from elderly relatives (several of whom were born in the mid-1800’s) contain a great deal of information on the early generations of McKenzies from Western Maryland.

1.1 This information was gleaned from previous “research” of other McKenzie researchers. To date the author has not been able to find any documentation to substantiate it.

2. The information pertaining to Samuel McKenzie was provided by Debbie Harper. It has not been verified by the author. Although he was listed as being a settler on the lands west of Fort Cumberland, Samuel never bothered to obtain a proper patent on the land. On 10 SEP 1814, he sold part of lot 3369 to William Logsdon, Sr.. Samuel McKenzie, Sr. died intestate in March, 1837. As part of the procedure for settling the estate, Samuel's sons, Samuel F.(Jr.), Gabriel and John applied for and received a patent for the two lots Samuel, Sr. was living on (lots 3369 and 3370). The patents can be located on the Maryland State Archives at MSA SE 1-1 Image 020745-0329 and also on the www.mckenziesofearlymaryland web site in the Media section. The document is cross-referenced with Samuel McKenzie (b. abt. 1751). The sons immediately sold these lots. The settlement papers for his estate list all of his children except for Catherine and Elizabeth, who died before him without issue. Nowhere in the estate papers is a living widow of Samuel, Sr. mentioned. Yet, she must have been living, for in 1839, she executed a "make good" deed conveying her interest in the lots to her son, Samuel. (In fact, the boys selling the lots without her signature was illegal. She had to issue a retroactive deed to her son, Samuel, in order to clear the title on the property.) The deed in part reads: "Then came Ellen McKenzie . . . who sells to her son, Samuel McKenzie . . . for the sum of $1.00 and the natural affection of a mother toward her son . . . lots 3369 and 3370". This clearly shows that Samuel F. McKenzie (Jr's) mother was Ellen ____( and not Rachel Durbin as claimed by some researchers). The "make good" deed from "Ellen McKinzey" to "Samuel McKinzey" is recorded at Deed Book "W", page 535, Allegany County records.

15. The Oath of Fidelity came into being during the Revolutionary War and was taken by those who swore their allegiance to the new republic. It read as follows:

OATH OF FIDELITY AND SUPPORT
I do swear I do not hold myself bound to yield any Allegience or obedience to the King of Great Britain his heirs or Successors and that I will be true and faithful to the State of Maryland and will to the utmost of my power, Support, maintain and defend the freedom and Independence thereof and the Government as now established against all open enemies and secret and traterous Consperaces and will use my utmost endeavours to disclose and make known to the Governor or some one of the judges or Justices thereof all Treasons or Traterous Consperaces, attempts or Combinations against this State or the Government thereof which may come to my Knowledge so help me God.

16. C.M. Brumbaugh and Margaret Robert Hodges, Revolutionary Records of Maryland, page 15. The actual record reads as follows:

The Worshipful Andrew Bruce Returns:

MacKenzie, Gabriel
MacKenzie, Aaron
MacKenzie, Samuel
MacKenzie, Daniel

Washington County, 2nd March, 1778. I certify to the Honorable the Governor and Council, that the within persons gave their affirmation to and subscribed the Oath of Fidelity to the State of Maryland according to the Act of Assembly and that this is a true Copy of the Book kept by me for that purpose and delivered to the Clerk of this County as ordered.

Andw. Bruce

Ed. Note: Given the similarity of names, the individuals who took the Oath of Fidelity to the State of Maryland most likely were Gabriel McKenzie and his sons, Samuel, Daniel and Aaron. Although the author does not have written proof that the individuals listed were father and sons, given the ages of Gabriel's children, the Oath of Fidelity information is consistent with Gabriel and his sons having migrated west to Washington County in the years preceding and/or during the Revolutionary War.
