Abt 1797 - 1829 (~ 32 years)

Personal Information | PDF

Name	John McKenzie
Birth	Abt 1797	Allegany County, Maryland
Gender	Male
Death	8 Sep 1829	Knox County, Ohio
Notes	This particular John may not be the son of Gabriel, Jr. Ed. Note. Needs to be verified/proven. The following information was received from Bobbie McKenzie in June, 2013. Future researchers will need to verify it if they are interested in this line. Rosanne=eleanorrms@aol.com (need to check accuracy of email address) I have a copy of the death cert. of "Jno D. M. Mackenzie" b. 3 July 1829 in OH, and d. 22 March 1916 in IL. Gives name of father "Jno Mackenzie", born Maryland, and mother Margaret Clugston, born Maryland. The informant was my grandfather, who only went to 4th grade, maybe 6th grade in school....so the correct spelling of Clugston could have been Logsdon. Also, my grandfather's name ~ on the cert. gives an incorrect middle initial, which could indicate the person taking the info was not too careful. John (1829) is believed to have been born in Gambier Knox Co OH. John (1829) McKenzie is listed in the 1850 Knox Co OH census, along with Sarah McKenzie. I have been informed they were married in 1848. John was married more than once. Another wife, Emma Moreland, is the mother of my grandfather. She also has John & Margaret's marriage license record from Allegany Co, MD, their marriage record at the Catholic Church in Allegany Co, MD in 1822, their son's (John) baptism in 1829 at St. Luke Church in Danville, Knox Co, OH, Margaret's marriage to William Robeson in 1831, marriage record of the son John's marriages to Sarah Presley in 1849, to Caroline Southwick in 1852, marriage record of Joseph to Elizabeth Parker in 1862, copy of Joseph's death record in 1893. The son John also married Emma Moreland who was in the Wash DC census 1860, age 14. I don't know when or where they married. But I found that her mother and brother were later married (not to each other :) ) in McLean Co, IL in 1872 and 1877. Emma's sister married in Wash DC in 1862. She had another sister that I haven't been able to trace. Re John McKenzie that married Margaret Peggy Logsdon........they got a m. license in Allegany Co. 30 Nov 1822 and were m. 3 Dec 1822 at the Catholic Church in Allegany Co., MD. There is a record of the baptism of Mary & Joseph in the book "Western Maryland Catholics 1819-1851" by Koch & Davidson. There is a record of the baptism of John (b 1829) in St Luke's Church, Danville, Knox Co. OH. John & Sarah are in the 1850 Knox Co census. Their m. 1 Aug 1849 is in the Knox Co marriage record. She died in 1852 and he m. Caroline Southwick in 1853....also in Knox Co marriage record. Family lore.....he had a son named William before he married Emma Moreland. Don't know what happened to Caroline, or when he married Emma. Emma was from Wash.DC. He & Emma had 4 children, John Duncan b 1869 in IL, d 1954 in IA, Margaret - never married, Louise - never married, and Jane (Jen). In the 1880 census for LaSalle Co IL he is listed as J.D. McKenzi =e with Emma McKenzie, and the 3 oldest children. I have only looked at Knox Co in OH and not at Mahoning Co because the family seemed to stick pretty close to Mt Vernon, and stayed pretty much with the Catholic Church. When Margaret's husband died in 1829 in Knox Co she remarried a Knox Co man and stayed in the area until she died. She & her new husband did not raise Mary, Joseph and John however......she "farmed them out" to other family/families because the new husband did not want to raise them......according to family legend. Rosanne in NC Also from Bobbie McKenzie in June 2013. Similar to above but with additional clues. Researchers need to verify. No contact has been made with "Roseanne" as of July, 2013.

John & Sarah are on lines 39 & 40. On June 6 someone else in Knox Co told me that John McKenzie married Sarah 1 Aug 1849, by E.T.Brown min. She died 31 July 1852, age 20 yr, 3 mon, 11 days buried Moundview Cem. Mt Vernon, OH. Marriage # 2 = Caroline Southwick 1 Feb 1853 by Fr. Julius Brent. Old family letters say that he was married twice.....but they may not have known of #2. John and Emma Moreland had 4 children, all born in IL. My grandfather was the oldest of the 4, and he was born in 1869. John & Emma died and are buried in Ottawa, LaSalle Co. IL. : I have a copy of the death cert. of "Jno D. M. Mackenzie" ã b. 3 July 1829 in OH, and d. 22 March 1916 in IL. Gives name of father "Jno Mackenzie", born Maryland, and mother Margaret Clugston, born Maryland.

This is as far as I have been able to go with MacKenzie names. I'd like to hear more from you and your group (Ed. note: McKenzie Quest Group started by Ann Stansbarger and Michael McKenzie in 1999).
