Gabriel Jr. McKenzie

Notes:

Josephine (Jody) Moeller, Saint Charles, Illinois (jmoeller@inil.com) has compiled much information on this important early Fayette County family.

Josephine's information substantially updates what was published in Fayette Facts, Vol. 3, No. 4, pages 62-63 (1974), taking the family back an additional two generations, and forward . . .

The McKenzie family came to Fayette County with the Ohio migration of LOGUE and DURBIN families. Josephine writes, "To me, the preponderance of the evidence suggests that our Gabriel (1758-1832) was the son of Gabriel McKenzie(1715 - 1793) and Sarah Durbin. The most telling evidence is the Maryland Tax List of 1783 which shows a second Gabriel as a bachelor, on a different page, from the rest of the family.

Additional information from Ann Stansbarger:

The best record for Gab'l Jr. is the 1783 Tax Assessment for Washington County, Maryland. This assessment is broken into two separate sections: Heads of Household and Bachelors. These sections are recorded on two separate pages of the list.

Heads of Household:
Gabriel
Daniel
Aaron
Samual

Bachelors:
Gabriel Jr.

I can't believe I'm still up and it is 2:30 in the am. I'm reading the documents on your website (ed. note website would be Michael McKenzie's Mckenzies of Early Maryland website - www.mckenziesofearlymaryland.com). I noticed something very interesting.

In your Sources section, under Gabriel McKenzie, you have a paragraph which describes two land transactions for the year 1792. In the first, Gabriel and his wife cleared up a problem with the release of her dower rights on 25 April 1792. You have a copy of this document in your media section. Gabriel and his wife both sign this document with their marks. In the second transaction, as described below, Gabriel sells his Lot 3365 to Peter Majors on 16 May 1792, which is less than one month later.......But this is not the same Gabriel.

If you look closely at your Media items 117, 118, and 119, this document clearly say "Gabriel Jr." His mark is also different than that of his father. Also, note there is no mention of Sarah in this document. This is Gabriel's son, the same Gabriel Jr. who was a bachelor in the 1783 tax assessment. Your Media items 120 and 121 from 1803, however, say simply "Gabriel." I believe Gabriel Senior died in that period of three weeks between 25 April and 16 May 1792.

Your paragraph says: "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 [this is Gabriel Jr. not 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."

I don't want to speculate on how it happened that Gabriel Jr. was able to sell his father's land. The legal ramifications of that are beyond me. But it appears that he did just that.

Also, I noticed that Media item 162 (Lot Map with Settler's Names, 1800) has an error in the lot numbers for Peter Majors and Gabriel McKenzie. The other Lot Maps are correct. I know that you didnt annotate this particular map, but I thought you might want to know because it has the settler's names on it. Lot 3365 is the verticle triangle. The upside down triangle to the left of it, marked "Peter Majors Lot 3365," should say "Lot 3376." Since this map is dated 1800, I'm assuming Peter Major's name should be on Lot 3365, in lieu of Gabriel McKenzie's name.

I think these deeds combined with the tax rolls conclusively prove that gabriel, Jr. was the son of Gabriel (b. 1715)

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.

Hi Bobbie:

John and Sarah McKenzie are in the 1850 Ohio census, Schedule I - Free Inhabitants in 1st Ward of Mt Vernon, Knox Co, the page number is difficult to read but I think it is page 233. 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. 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.

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).

John married Margaret "Peggy" Logsdon on 30 Nov 1822 in St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Allegany County, Maryland. Margaret (daughter of William Logsdon and Maria Holland) was born on 17 Dec 1805 in Maryland; died on 23 Jul 1848 in Union City, Knox County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Description: I don't think that Nathaniel died in Fayette Co, Ill. In a summary of Knox Co, Oh. Common PleasCourt Minutes, 1829 his probate was listed on p. 130. When i wrote for a copy of his estate proceedings, the clerk of probate court wrote that the book had disappeared from her office. The summary said that he was dead by 8 Sept 1829 when his brother Moses applied to be the administrator and Gabriel, the appraiser.

Ed. Note: In view of the information from Bobbie McKenzie, above, the date for daughter, Sarah's birth may be incorrect.

The following is from John Brake:

Mike:

I need to make a correction to my last email. Per the St. Luke's church records, Sarah McKenzie (dtr of Nathaniel McKenzie & Maria Dial) was BORN on 11 Aug 1832, but not baptized until 11 Mar 1833. The records say it was after Nathaniel's death. So he must have died sometime in 1832/1833.

John

But, review the information that the author received from Bob McKenzie in July, 2016:

With no wish to "muddy" anyone's mind concerning Gabriel D. McKenzie's brother Nathaniel, I'm offering the following material to clarify some question on his widow's (Mary Dial McKenzie) child, Sarah Ann McKenzie, also known as Sarah Ann Lybarger or Maranda Lybarger. Based on what other researchers have offered, we likewise assume that Nahaniel was the son of Gabriel McKenzie and Ann Maddox (Mattox).

From John H. Doty's 1977 compilation Pioneer Families of Colonial America, p. 208, Doty states the following:

"Nathan McKinsey died in Pleasant Twp., Knox Co., Ohio on or about 9-3-1829. Dr Wm L. Brooks made his last visit on 8-26-1829. Nathan had brothers Samuel, Moses, Aaron, Gabriel, & a sister Elizabeth (all italics mine) who m John S. Logue an older brother of James Logue - 3l7. Nathan signed a note to Baptist Mattingly for $5.31 on 8-11-1829. Moses McKinsey paid $6.00 on 10-5-1829 for Nathan's coffin."

On page 209 of the same compilation, Doty writes:

"See Probate Court Records of Knox Co., Ohio for estate settlement of Nathan McKinzie. Box 42, 697--Isaac Dial was appointed guardian of Rachel McKinzie, orphan of Nathan McKinzie on 10-17-1829. George Dial Jr & Peter Sheffer were appointed bondmen. Maria Dial McKenzie was listed as mother. See Vol 9, p 188--a Bill of sale & a list of property used by widow was made on 10-2-1829, Bk k, p 87 & Bk 38, p 66 or # 38-66. Inventory was filed on 3-12-1836, Bk B, p 375. Estate records--Bk 1, p 368, 9-8-1829 appointed Mary McKensey & Moses McKinsey administrators of the estate of Nathan McKensey. Isaac Dial & Gabriel McKinsey were appraised for bail."

"Nathan McKenzie & Mary Dial had at least one child, maybe two--see 1840 census. Rachel McKensey, b 3-22-1828 in Knox Co., Ohio & d 11-20-1906 St. Elmo, Ill cemetery."

"Marie (Mary) Dial McKenzie next man was Andrew Lybarger, son of Old George Lybarger (d1830). From this union one child was born--Sarah Ann (Maranda) Lyrager was born 10-20-1832 in Knox Co., Ohio & d in Morris Twp., Sumner Co., Kan on 2-11-1896. She was baptised on 3-11-1833 at St. Luke's Catholic church, Danville, Ohio as Sarah Ann McKinsey."

"Children of James Logue and Marie (Mary) Dial McKenzie, Lybarger."

I've reproduced Doty's material exactly as it is in his compilation except for the bold print emphasizing Gabriel D. McKenzie's brothers and sister. Hopefully this will help other researchers baffled by the matter of a second daughter born to Nathaniel and Mary (Dial) McKenzie after his demise in 1829. But I must caution that I have not verified everything Doty presents.

The following information was received by the author from Robert (Bob) McKenzie in June, 2016:

Notes for GABRIEL MCKENZIE:

As a matter of record, this Gabriel McKenzie, his brother Aaron, and two of their sisters, Catherine and Elizabeth, married four members of the Daniel and Honora (Logsdon) Logue family. Catherine married Ralph E. Logue, Elizabeth married John Smith Logue, Aaron married Mary E. Logue, and Gabriel married Nancy Logue. By the time Honora (Logsdon) Logue and Daniel Logue died, she in 1844 and he in 1851, Elizabeth (McKenzie) Logue had also died, and John Smith Logue had remarried. In select papers regarding the estate of Daniel Logue, both Mary (Logue) McKenzie and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie are mentioned. This information appears in John H. Doty's "Pioneer Families of Colonial America," Copyright 1977, on pages 188, 202-203.

From the legal description of real estate mentioned in estate papers of Gabriel McKenzie's son Lewis McKenzie, Gabriel and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie were grantors of "the North West Quarter of the North West Quarter of Sec 19, Township 8, North Range 4, East of the 3rd P.M., containing 45 and 90/100 acres through a warranty" to Lewis McKenzie and his wife Normanda (Logue) McKenzie, the grantees. This particular land is located near Moccasin, IL.

For those who enjoy family stories, one legend exists that Gabriel would walk from his farm house near Moccasin to Effingham every year to pay his real estate taxes. On his last trip, it is said that he only made it part of the way and was forced to rest. Eventually, he was brought home by some neighbors. Legend also has it that he regularly walked from his farm near Moccasin to Saint Bonaventure Church, three miles north of St. Elmo, IL., so that he could attend Mass. Seemingly, Gabriel was a religious person. In the entry made of his death and burial on February 17, 1884, on page 160 of Volume I of the parish records for St. Bonaventure now maintained at St.Clare's Church in Altamont, IL, the priest at that time wrote, "Today, I buried Gabriel McKensey. He was a very pious man."

Gabriel died on February 15, 1884, and one assumes that he is buried in the St. Bonaventure Cemetery, next to the church he loved to attend. In an obituary prepared about Gabriel's son Lewis McKenzie, the journalist at that time related that another of Gabriel's sons, John McKenzie, was the very first person to be buried in St. Bonaventure Cemetery. Regrettably, no markers indicate the location of either person's grave. Gabriel's wife preceded him in death a little over 5 years earlier.

Gabriel married Nancy Ann Logue on 29 Apr 1824 in St. Luke's Catholic Church, Danville, Knox County, Ohio. Nancy (daughter of Daniel Logue and Honora (Oner) Logsdon) was born on 16 Mar 1803 in Allegany County, Maryland; died on 14 Dec 1878 in Effingham, Effingham County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Hester Sapp on 22 May 1830 in Danville, Knox County, Ohio. Hester (daughter of George Sapp and Catherine Arnold) was born about 1805; died on 18 Oct 1881 in Fayette County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Mrs. Morris Logue went to Martinsville township Thursday to visit her aged mother*, Mrs. Brownlee Barr. Mrs. Barr had been in poor health for some time, and soon after her daughter's arrival she took worse and was soon dead. The funeral took place Saturday and was attended by all of Mr. Logue's family."

(*Compiler's Note--Mrs. Morris Logue was Malissa Ann Wilcox, who, interestingly, was listed as Malissa Barr, age 13, living with the Barr family in the 1870 Martinsville, Clark Co., IL Census. Malissa Ann Wilcox married Morris Logue, Elenora McKenzie Barr's first cousin once removed. In fact, Elenora McKenzie Barr, daughter of Mary Ellen Logue and Aaron McKenzie, was a double first cousin of Honora McKenzie Logue, daughter of Nancy Ann Logue and Gabriel McKenzie and mother of Morris Logue. Aaron and Gabriel were brothers, and Mary Ellen and Nancy Ann were sisters, both daughters of Daniel Logue and Honora Logsdon. As a sign of their mutual regard for the Barr family, Morris and Malissa Logue named their first son Brownlee Logue)

"Mrs. Brownlee Barr died at the family residence south of Martinsville on the 4th. She was 72 years old and was a most estimable lady. The funeral was conducted Saturday and the burial took place at the Baird cemetery."

Obituary
"Clark County Democrat," (Marshall, Clark Co., IL) July 17, 1901 (no page listed)

OBITUARY

"Elenorah McKenzie was born in Knox county, Ohio, August 17, 1828, and departed this life July 4, 1901, aged 72 years, 10 months and 17 days."

(Compiler's Note--The monument in the Baird Cemetery reads 72 years, 10 months and 13 days, and the second obituary also reads 72 years, 10 months and 13 days. I would be prone to accept what is inscribed on the monument.)

"She was married to Brownlee Barr January 23, 1845. While they lived in Ohio four children were born to them. Seeing the need of a home they moved to Illinois and purchased a small farm in Clark county, in 1852, where they lived until death separated them. Eight more children were born to them, seven of which survive her. Mary E. Hills, living in Missouri, Francis E. Auld, C. R. Barr, Susana Morgan, Geo. D. Barr and Sarah C. Ulrey, of this county, and Mrs. Rose Thornton, of Washington county, Illinois, are the children. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Thornton."

"Mrs. Barr united with the M. E. church many years ago during a revival held by Rev. Harrison Cowden. She remained with this church for about eleven years and then she placed her membership in the Southern Methodist church at Hopewell where she was a faithful member until death called her home."

"She was very patient during her long sickness, and constantly trusted in her blessed Savior. The funeral services were held by Rev. Mathes assisted by Rev. Brown. Burial was at Baird Cemetery--Martinsville Planet."

Marriage Notes for ELLENORAH MCKENZIE and BROWN BARR:
News Story
"Clark County Democrat," (Marshall, Clark Co., IL) January 29, 1896 (no page listed)

"Mr. and Mrs. Brown Lee Barr and wife (sic--Mrs. Brown Lee Barr was the wife) celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Thursday. Children, relatives and friends came in and enjoyed a sumptuous repast and gave them several nice presents. For 50 years they have traveled hand in hand down the aisle of time and now are enjoying good health and all the comforts of life. The merry crowd departed after wishing them another half century of partnership happiness. Mr. Barr is 71 and Mrs. Barr 68."

{Compiler's Note--In 1896, the Thursday referred to by the Clark County Democrat reporter was January 23, 1896. According to family records, Brown Lee Barr and Elnorah McKenzie were married January 23, 1845, not January 23, 1846. It appears the traditional date is incorrect, the Barrs were a year late in celebrating their golden wedding anniversary, or the date on the newspaper is incorrect)

Honora married Brown Lee Barr on 23 Jan 1845 in Knox County, Ohio. Brown (son of Robert Barr and Mary Something) was born on 6 Oct 1825 in Knox County, Ohio; died on 20 Feb 1904 in Clark County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Rosaenne=eleanorrms@aol.com (need to check 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.

Subject: Re: John McKenzie

Hi Bobbie,
John and Sarah McKenzie are in the 1850 Ohio census, Schedule I - Free Inhabitants in 1st Ward of Mt Vernon, Knox Co, the page number is difficult to read but I think it is page 233. 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" 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 1849. John was married more than once. Another wife, Emma Moreland, is the mother of my grandfather.

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).

Rosanne

Here is more information from Bobbie McKenzie. Sent in June, 2013 to Michael A. McKenzie. These clues have not been checked.

Circa 1999:

Hi, Rosanne:

Just going through my files again to see where I lost John and Sarah. By the way, can you tell me Sarah's maiden name? Margaret Peggy Logsdon's parents were Edward Logsdon and Jane Mattingly. Anastasia McKenzie was sponsor for Margaret and John's son Joseph. Anastasia later married William Cain in 1831 in Knox Co so she came with them from Allegany Co MD. Sponsors for your John were Samuel and Henrietta McKenzie. In 1830 Samuel and Henrietta lived in Monroe Twp. Knox Co. In 1840 in Brown Twp and in 1850 in College twp. They had a daughter named Anastasia. So Anastasia the sponsor for Joseph was probably family. Samuel was born in 1797 so could easily be the brother of your John died 1829.

My 30-year study of the McKenzies has shown me that they tended to use the same names over and over. What were the names of John and Sarah and John and Emma's children? Maybe that will give us a clue. Bobbie

Notes:

Per an email from Dawn Marie Stricker Sanders dated July 16, 2014 comes the following with respect to John McKenzie (b. 1834):

1.His death date is 22 Feb 1893. Source: St. Luke's Records 1829-early 1900's, p. 187

2.He was born 1834. 2 Sources: 1) US Census 1850 for Fayette County, Illinois. His age is 16. 2) Mustered in 2 Nov 1861, age 27. Interesting note about his service--he was absent from duty due to illness (chronic diarrhea), but the reason for the absence wasn't known and he was charged with desertion. The charge was later dropped. I just received his service records.

3.Sometime between the 1850 census in Illinois and his marriage in 1860, he moved back to Knox County, Ohio. It appears that some of his brothers may have also moved back.. It is true that his father, Gabriel D. stayed in Illinois and is buried in Effingham county, Illinois.

4.Buried: 27 Dec 1893. He is buried in the Soldier Section of St. Luke's Cemetery. (Ed. Note: St. Luke's Catholic Church, Danville, Know County, Ohio).

5.I will forward the response to my email inquiry to St. Lukes regarding both John W. McKenzie and Charlotte "Charity" Critchfield. There is an explanation about death and burial. I'm hoping to get his grave registered with the Veteran's Project in Ohio.

6.His wife is Charlotte "Charity" Critchfield. I cannot as yet locate her parents. I'm going to expand my search for her parents to counties surrounding Knox, as there is evidence that John Critchfield (rev war) settled in Holmes County. I'll check there first, before chasing down the Critchfields who went to NC.

7.She was born in 1843. Source: US Census 1870 for Howard Twp., Knox, Ohio She states her age is 27 and born in Ohio.

8.She died 27 Dec 1900. Source: St. Luke's Records 1829-early 1900's. p. 188

9.Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1958, online database at familysearch.org Marriage Date: 1 Feb 1860; Charity's father was dead, but mother gave her permission to marry. Knox county, Ohio

Dawn,

According to an index of deaths and burials, John McKenzie was buried Feb. 24, 1893. He was 58 years old. It does not give a burial location.
There is a listing for Charity McKenzie, buried Dec. 27, 1900, age 57. No burial location given.

In the back of this notebook, is a section for Veterans. John McKenzie is listed – Born 1834 per Roster – Died – Buried 2-24-1893, Army private, Co. K, 43rd O.V.I., Civil War, In service Nov. 2, 1861-March 3, 1862? (question mark following year) To the right of the listing it has Row 13, Gr. 38

There is a map of the old section hanging in the office identifying veterans & he is listed there, row 13, grave 38.

Eric Stutz is our caretaker. I talked to him. He cannot identify the graves. The inscriptions are very worn.

Hi there,

I am researching my family. I have a copy of Koch's "St. Luke's Records 1829-early 1900's. There are two entries for deaths that I am writing about to ask if they are buried in your cemetery:

Page 187: 24 Feb 1893 John McKenzie 59 yr. He was a Civil War Veteran.

Page 188: 27 Dec 1900 Charlotte Charity Critchfield McKenzie 58 yr

I'm fairly certain that this John is her husband. There is a Civil War Widow Pension claim dated 8 Sept 1893. I am hoping to visit the cemetery in a couple of weeks, and would like to identify their graves if possible. Is there a care taker whom I could contact to find out if they are interred there?

Thanks so much for your time,

Dawn Sanders

In another email from Dawn Sanders on Luly 18, she states:

Mike,

John's middle initial "W" appears on his Civil War records and the pension record that names Charity as his widow. Wish I knew what it stands for. I am going to look for a will in Knox County Mon/Tues during my research visit. I plan to send docs to you sometime, soon

"LEWIS MCKENZIE DIES AT HOME"

"Lewis McKenzie died at his home two miles west of Moccasin, Friday morning at 6 o'clock, Jan. 5, 1917. He was 79 years old at the time of his death."

"Mr. McKenzie was born in Knox Co., Ohio, Sept. 23, 1837 and came to Illinois when he was but 10 years old together with his father, mother, two brothers and one sister.* From this family the sister, Mrs. Katie Durbin, is the only one living. His brother Frank having gone to the home of God last February."

"The first brother, John, died about 70 years ago and was the first person to be buried in the St. Bonaventure Cemetery."

"Mr. McKenzie was married the second time. His first wife was Miss Normanda Logue of Effingham Co. To this union were born nine children. Benny, the oldest boy, and Sarah, the oldest girl, died years ago. The surviving children of this union are: Edward McKenzie and Mrs. William Hosler, Monticello, Mrs. Saint Doty and James McKenzie, Lovington, Mrs. J.D. Rhodes, Avena, Charles McKenzie, Altamont and Curtis McKenzie, Beecher City, Illinois."

"His second marriage was to Mrs. Sarah Dial, who remains after him. One boy, Joseph, was the only child born to them."

"Mr. McKenzie was a good Christian man having lived and died a good Catholic and besides his wife and children, he leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his departure."

"He was buried at the St. Bonaventure Cemetery, the funeral being preached by Rev. Father Walsh, of Altamont, Illinois."

"NONAGENARIAN CALLED"

"On January 21, 1932, Mrs. Katie M. Durbin passed to her reward at the home of her grandson, Thomas Tipsword, at the age of 92 years, 3 months, and 26 days."

To this union eight children were born. She was preceded in death by her husband and seven children, four who died in infancy and three recently, namely Mary J., James O., and Amanda A. She leaves to mourn her departure one son, Joseph Frances (sic), also twenty one grandchildren, forty one great-grandchildren, seven great great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends."

" 'Aunt Katie,' as she was commonly known, has lived practically all her life in this community and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Through these two months of illness she has born (sic) it patiently. She worked very hard all her life and suffered all in true Christian spirit. Even when the infirmities of old age began to weigh down upon her she was ever the good, kind, pleasant mother. All her life she has been a devoted Catholic and lived a noble Catholic life."

Engineer Montgomery of Slater and Conductor Fletcher, also of Slater, were in charge of the train. They were not held for investigation. The body was thrown a long distance from the track and was badly mangled."

"Mr. McKenzie is survived by one daughter who lives in Columbia. His wife, three daughters (should be three sons), and a son (should be a daughter) all died a number of years ago. He was a man who kept to himself a great deal and little is known about his intimate life. He was a carpenter by trade."

"Thursday morning it was not known whether an inquest would be held or not."

Obituary
"The Centralia Fireside Guard," (Centralia, Boone Co., MO) October 18, 1935 (page 1)

AGED WOMAN IS CALLED
CITIZEN OF THIS TOWN FOR OVER QUARTER OF A CENTURY
PASSED AWAY. INTERMENT SATURDAY

"Mrs. Amanda Schmoll died Thursday night, October 10, 1935 at 9:55 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Carson Blanton in this city. Her death followed an illness of many months and a critical illness of about six weeks. Aged 76 years, seven months, 20 days."

"Mrs. Schmoll had been in very poor health since November of last year, but was able to remain in her home until six weeks ago, when she was taken to the home of Mrs. Blanton where she could have constant care."

"Amanda Dee McKinzie, daughter of John B. and Matilda Logue McKinzie, was born near Vandalia, Illinois on February 20, 1859. She came to Missouri with her parents when at the age of 14 years and spent the remainder of her life in Boone County."

"She was twice married, her first marriage being to John R. Justus on September 18, 1877, who with three of their four children preceded her in death many years ago. She was united in marriage the second time to George Schmoll, on October 15, 1884. To this union nine children were born. One daughter and two sons are dead. The husband died December 16, 1913."

"The following children survive their mother: Mrs. W. H. Buckler, McBaine; Mrs. J. N. Jones, Pearl, Illinois; Mrs. John P. Palmer, Washington, Iowa; Mrs. R. F. Hopper, Columbia; Mrs. Carson Blanton, Centralia; J. M. Schmoll, Parsons, Kansas; A. M. Schmoll, Kansas City. She is also survived by three brothers, John and Henry McKenzie, Columbia, Edward McKenzie of Greenbridge, Mo. and one sister, Mrs. T. D. Balden of Arkansas."

"She is also survived by thirty four grand children and eight great-grandchildren."

"At the age of 16 Mrs. Schmoll was converted and adopted the Christian faith, united with the church of Perche, south of Sturgeon, under the preaching of R. B.Heiser. She moved her membership to the First Christian church of this city. After her health began to fail she found that she could not walk the greater distance from her home to the church and she worshipped at the Holiness church. She was always faithful to her God and to her religion. She was a good, Christian mother, a loyal friend and so long as her health would permit she willingly gave her assistance to those in need."

"She leaves to her children and grand children the heritage of a well spent, useful life. Coming as this woman did, into the early period of this country's development. Mrs. Schmoll began early in life to learn how to meet and to endure hardships. She accepted them as a part of life and endured them with a fortitude that is worthy of emulation. Lives such as this good woman lived are an inspiration to others and constitute an enduring monument in the hearts of those whom she leaves behind, and a light to guide their footsteps into the abundant life."

"Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at the First Christian church at 2:30 o'clock, by Reverend C. Allen Burrus."

"Interment was in the city cemetery."

"Pallbearers were W. D. Holloway, Alex Riley, V. G. Doty, T. W. McNear, Shannon Potts and Clifford Stover."

"Flowersgirls: Mrs. W. B. Walden, Mrs. A. Strang, Mrs. Chas. Cook, Misses Eunice and Anna Jean Schmoll, Mildred and Marjorie Blanton, grandaughters of the deceased."

"On Sunday morning at eleven o'clock Louis (sic) Curtis McKenzie of Altamont was fatally injured in an automobile accident. This accident occurred east of St. Elmo. Mr. McKenzie passed away on Sunday evening. He was riding in a Chevrolet sedan owned and driven by Edward Logue. Accompanying the two were Edward Kavanaugh and Leo Logue. The three received only minor bruises.

"It is reported that the gentlemen were returning home from St. Elmo, when they were crowded off the slab by a large transfer truck. Mr. Logue, in attempting to get back on the pavement, is reported to have cramped his wheels, shooting to the opposite side of the pavement and turning the car on its side. The transfer truck did not stop to offer assistance of any kind.

"An inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon at Habing's and the verdict was "an unavoidable accident," in regard to the death of Mr. McKenzie. Internal injuries as a result of the accident caused his passing."
