Macksburg
The remains of Aaron McKinzie, who has for the past year been staying at the soldier's home at Marshalltown, were brought here on Saturday evening and the funeral services held at Macksburg, his former home on Sunday." Aaron McKinzie was born on February 18, 1835 in Christian county, Illinois, and died at Marshalltown, Iowa, June 23, 1905. At 11 years of age he came to Iowa with a sister and made his home in Story county until 1858, when he came to Madison County. In 1860 in answer to the President's call he enlisted and for 4 years and 7 months served his country. Mr. McKinzie was married three times, his wives all having preceeded him to the life beyond. He leaves to mourn 7 boys and five girls and several grandchildren and a host of friends. The funeral was held at the Baptist church in Macksburg Sunday, June 25th at 3 p. m. (of which he was a member) counducted by the pastor, Rev. H. A. Cross , assisted by Rev. Trueblood of the M. E. church. A large congregation was in attendance and the house was not large enough to accommodate all. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at this place (Macksburg). The house was appropriately draped and decorated under the auspices of the W. R. C. assisted by the old soldiers, the pall bearers being from the boys of the sixties.
"In 1860, in answer to the President's call, he enlisted, and for 4 years and 7 months served his country. [He enlisted as a Private in Co. A of the 39th Iowa Infantry on Aug 14, 1862, and was mustered into federal service on Sept 8, 1862. He was taken prisoner at Allatoona on 10/5/1864. He mustered out of the service on May 26, 1865, in Davenport.]

The following email was circulated by Dick MacKenzie in December, 2013:
All: A few items in response to the documents that Priscilla furnished to Bobbie the other day:
The Jennie Guilliams she mentions is apparently the one daughter that Aaron had with his first wife, Sarah. E. Fields. Jennie first appears in 1860 with Aaron and 2nd spouse Mary as 4 year old Laura J. McKenzie. In 1870, she's 14 year old Louisa Mckinzie, with Aaron and 3rd wife Elizabeth. Not clear what her first name really was, but Jennie must have been her middle name, and I've seen a DOB of 21 Dec 1858. Her half-brother John appears to be the one child by the 2nd spouse Mary Elizabeth Knowles, John William Mckinzie DOB 28 Dec 1860, although he appears in 1870 as Johnathan, 11, which he couldn't be as he didn't appear in 1860. If it was this child where Mary died during childbirth, then Aaron waited another 5+ years to marry Elizabeth Jane Shaffer 11 Jul 1866, which seems a long time, so maybe the child also died and it was after 1860.
As for the children of Aaron and Elizabeth, the family document stops after Malinda b. 1875, while there were apparently 5 more children as follows:
Benton Clement b. 4 Apr 1877
Anna Rebecca b. 19 Nov 1878
James Aaron b. 20 Aug 1880
Joseph R. b. 20 Nov 1881
Samuel Logan b. 14 Nov 1884
That makes a total of 13 -- not a bad day's work!
Incidentally, I note that we spell a number of females in this branch as "Melinda" while everything I've seen, including headstones, shows "Malinda" as the spelling. I found the photo and the story about James Aaron's migration and struggle to earn a living quite interesting.
And Bobbie, don't go into hiding! We love your contributions.

Another email from Dick MacKenzie from the same time period, December, 2013, is set forth below:
All: Sounds like this is coming together nicely. First, a word for Bobbie on Henry M. McKenzie, who married Sarah Easley. Yes, he was son of Henry of Eli of Daniel of John. Marriage was in Dearborn Co., IN (not MI!), which is where Henry M. was born. Henry his father settled in the village of Kelso in Dearborn Co. after a brief stay in Cincinnati after leaving MD, and remained there throughout his life. That is also where Eli died (while visiting Henry or having moved there, we'll never know).
Re Aaron and the Feb. 18 birth date, I think we can say with certainty that this is Aaron son of Aaron and Cecily Logsdon, and let's hope the 1835 date is correct, since that's what's on his tombstone :) Even though the 1850 Census lists him as 16, all the others point to the 1835 year of birth, as well as his Civil War enlistment 14 Aug 1862, showing him as 2
NOTE: For future genealogists who may be interested in this line of McKinzie's. The following is the complete email traffic that was exchanged by the McKenzie Research Group and Priscilla Delventahl (and others) as this line was being sorted out in approximately 2012.
Here goes. There's a lot of information here. Ed. Note: Michael A. McKenzie December 2013:
Hi, guys, I'm passing the buck. I really only got involved because I thought
that I confused the situation by sharing Norma Kramer's information. I can
see from Pat's info here that the confusion is not between two Henrys a
two Aarons but an Aaron of Henry and a JAMES Aaron of Aaron and Malinda. If
not, we have another McKinzie with the birthdate of Feb 18, 1835. Anoth
version of the "same name game". Something that jumped out at me is Cor
Clugston--I wonder if it isn't a misspelling of Logsdon. I've run into that
confusion before.
Sorting this out further is going to lead to thousands more McKenzies from
the line of John of Gabriel and I really want to concentrate on Jonatha
Jesse, Caleb and David. I've found old Jonathan and John Hixonbaugh (father
of Jonathan's wife Catherine m. 1802 Allegany) in Fayette Co, PA so want to
see where that takes me.
Regards, In hiding, Bobbie
Subject: Re: Aaron McKinzie born Feb 18 1835 in Christian County Illinois.
Hi Bobbie - So excited that the Aaron McKinzie line is getting sorted out.
I am going to attach some of the documents I have found plus those that my
husbands mother, Lorene McKinzie Delventhal Burris had saved from the family
information. Please send any comments, I may be able to document.
I have attached a picture taken possibly at a family outing that has a key
to the people in the picture. I hope you can see the numbers. It is of the
James Aaron McKinzie family and some friends.
I have attached the sale of Aaron's property in Christian County Illinois by
Samuel McKinzie
Also, I have attached Laura Viola Mann McKinzie's obituary. She is the wife
of James Aaron McKinzie
In addition, I have attached Mother Burris' notes on the family (Lorene
McKinzie). They are notes as she knew them from the family.
I believe the birthdate for my James Aaron mcKinzie to be Feb 18, 18
that is what Lorene has in her birthday calendar. I have other birthdates
of the family, but I believe this date is the one we need to clear the
record. Early last year the VA gave a headstone for James' grave and some
kind Veterans in the Maxburg area set the stone marking him as a civil war
soldier.
I have tried to find Lena Jessup's parents, but have not had much luck. I
did find an Angeline Mann born in Pa and working as a domestic serva
the 1870, so might have been mother of Lena with Angeline the full name. I
also found a Hezakiah Mann married to Lena in the 1920 census with a
daughter Helen, then in 1930 Lena is listed as wife of Ellis as a Jessu
Perhaps Lena was married more than once.
James Aaron was raised by a family named MeHarie or MaHarie in Maxburg. I
found the MaHarie gravestones but they really aren't related family that I
can find. James Aaron moved his family to Hysham montana where he tried to
raise cattle on land that the government gave to him. Lorene remembers
moving the household by train. Water was not assessable and he had to
supplement their living by being an auctioneer. I do have pictures from the
Hysham newspaper showing his ads. They then moved to Colorado when He
couldn't make a living. His wife, Laura's health was not strong and He
became very discouraged. The girls made their homes and married in the
Denver, Colorado Area. From James forward I have a lot of the related
people, but feel we need to get his generation straightened out.
On Lorene's notes, I have children of Sara E Fields McKinzie but can't seem
to find them. Things like Jennie Guilliams and John McKinzie, half brother.
Then Jennie's children John Shultz, Mary Martin, Dorothy Don Carlos and
finally a Gene Guilliams. Jennie must have married a couple of time
she was from another marriage of Sara.
Please send this information on to Dick and Michael as they have been so
kind to include me in their research. Thanks Priscilla Matthews Ester
Delventhal - Daughter-in-law of Lorene McKinzie Delventhal Burris.
