Henry + Ellen Something. Ellen died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joshua McKenzie is referenced in Equity Case No. 734, Allegany County, Maryland Courthouse records as being the (deceased) brother of Moses McKenzie, Jr.

His birthdate came from the genealogical archives of Col. G.T. MacKenzie (Ret.), who began his research in 1929. But per the research of Ray Leidinger, he writes: St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland, Maryland. :Joshua McKenzie died July 13, 1845, near Cresaptown, age 60." If he was 60 at the time of his death as reflected in this church record, it would mean his birth date was 1785 (not 1795), which would fit better with Elizabeth Winter's DOB. In a letter from Ray Leidinger to Michael A. McKenzie dated December 21, 2012.

Also, on 12/31/1824, Joshua and Elizabeth sold to John Porter of John the estate of the late George Winter Book M Folio 570 Allegany County, Maryland records.
