| Notes |
- There are records in the Allegany County, Maryland Probate Office that pertain to John McKinsey, an old man. The inventory of his estate was signed by Daniel Mckenzie and Moses McKenzie. The authos/webmaster, Michael A. cKenzie suspects that the Daniel Mckenze listed is that of Daniel Mckenzie (b. abt. 1752) husband of Mary Chapman. The Moses McKenzie most likely is the RW Moses (b. abt. 1760). It has never been clear as to whom to tie this old man, John to. The following is an excerpt fro the McKenzies of Early Maryland outlinng the conundrum.
John McKenzie (b. unk)
Per the research of Bobbie McKenzie, a John McKenzie died circa 1792 in Allegany County, Maryland. Moses, Daniel and Gabriel signed a bond as administrators on March 12, 1792. The bond says John was very old and very poor. His inventory shows it. Adm Accounts Allegany County. The following entry appears on 22 March 1792 “John McKinsy, estate appraisers: Daniel McKenzie & Moses McKenzie, Wm Shaw, Evan Gwynne”. On 11 Oct 1796 John McKinsy estate. Moses McKensy, adm. Accounts paid to Robert Sinclair & I King, John Willuts, Daniel McKinsey, Evan Gwynne, Ezekial Whiteman . According to Bobbie, this “Moses” is most likely Moses RW (b. 1760), son of Moses (b. abt. 1720) of John. There are no other Generation 3 Moses old enough to have served in this capacity. Gabriel is probably the Uncle of John and Moses, and was the Gabriel (b. abt. 1715), son of John McKenzie (b. 1687). It is believed that Gabriel died in 1793, which explains why no further records exist showing his involvement in the handling of the estate. Daniel is probably cousin to John and Moses, son of their Uncle Gabriel, and the Daniel who was born abt. 1752, who married Mary Ann Chapman.
This John McKenzie (d. 1792) is probably one of the first born of Moses 1720. Taking into consideration the Scottish naming pattern, surely Moses would have had a son John. He is considered by the county recorder as being "old." If he were born 1740-45, he would be ca 50, a healthy life span in the 1790s. According to a 1790 study done in Philadelphia in 1790, life expectancy in 1790 for the US population was 34.5 years for males and 36.5 years for females. No information has been located indicating that he ever married or had children.
