Notes:

Most all of the information for this McKenzie branch came from "THE HISTORY OF THE GABRIEL McKENZIE AND RACHEL BLUBAUGH FAMILY OF MARYLAND AND OHIO" by Father Homer Blubaugh, and from the Ancestry.com web site of Wayne William Ward. Wayne was one of the first researchers to debunk the junk research permeating the Internet that John MacKinzie (b. 1687) (the first known ancestor of the McKenzies of Early Maryland) did not descend from Collen MacKenzie and John MacKenzie as had been represented by researchers who came before him. For more about this topic, see Chapter 5 of my book attached to the home page of the McKenzies of Early Maryland website "Why Collen MacKenzie is Not Part of This Maryland McKenzie Genealogy (i.e. the descendants of John MacKInzie (b. 1687).

NAMED AFTER A LOCAL PRIEST, FATHER James REDMOND OF CUMBERLand, MD. CATHERINE MCKENSEY AS GODMOTHER.

THE FAMILY MOVED TO Jackson TWP, PICKAWAY CO, IN 1876. HE MOVED FROM THERE TO Franklin CO WHERE THEY BOUGHT A FARM and SET UP A FAMILY MILK DELIVERY BUSINESS. THE HORSE-DRAWN MILKWAGON WAS PAINTED Black WITH THE LETTERING "J.R.MCKENZIE" PAINTED ON THE SIDE. MILK WAS CARRIED IN A LARGE CONTAINER TO THE WAGON and PEOPLE CAME TO THE WAGON WITH THEIR OWN CONTAINERS TO GET MILK. ABOUT 1893, THE MCKENZIE DAIRY BARN BURNED TO THE GROUND, THE FIRE SET BY THE CHILDREN WHO "WAS REFUSED A HORSE TO RIDE INTO TOWN". THIS WAS A TRAGIC SETBACK FOR THE FAMILY and J.R. WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THIS TERRIBLE FINANCIAL REVERSAL. THE MILK COWS, HORSES and MILKWAGON WERE SAVED. JIM and SARAH HAD 13 CHILDREN.

Birth recorded in Western Maryland Catholics, Koch and Davidson, page 84.

PREFACE

It is with great pleasure that the work of many McRenzie relation has preceded my recent attempt to put various sources together. Bernard Hilkens Sr. spent many years especially in retirement compiling his contribution. In 1966 I had tried to track down the descentants of Rachel Blubaugh as part of the large history of John Blubaugh I, which was published in 1977. Unfortun¬ ately it has taken many years for Rachel's family to reach publication.
Regardless of which copy you receive, the revision date listed here is never
complete. Updated sheets are always available for insertion.
Other McKenzie histories have been printed of other branches, but no one has prepared an extensive history of Gabriel and Rachel's family. On August 8, 1992, I reopened my limited McKenzie files and since then have steadily collect¬ ed this information by personal interviews with my laptop, numerous phone calls, and countless letters from cooperative cousins throughout the USA.
The process of compiling the remainder of Gabriel's descendants will con¬ tinue. I ask your help in providing missing information and correcting mistakes. Many copies of much smaller editions are in circulation. Often later information is inserted by adding alphabetical letters after the page number. This saves
making a whole new set of master pages, yet keeps the history in proper sequence.
Collecting genealogical information of relation is my hobby as a priest in a very large Catholic parish. Saint Paul, Westerville, Ohio. Seeing this history reach publication is an even greater joy. Several quotes of notable people have been added, as below. I hope you enjoy them and your heritage.

"I SHALL PASS THRU THIS WORLD BUT ONCE; ANY GOOD THING THEREFORE I CAN DO, OR ANY KINDNESS I CAN SHOW TO ANY HUMAN BEING LET ME DO IT NOW, LET ME NOT DEFER IT OR NEGLECT IT, FOR I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN." — STEPHEN GRELLET







"INTRODUCTION" by Bernard T. Wilkens, Sr.
Several years ago our cousin, Bernard Wilkens, Sr., (1907-
94) of Youngstown, Ohio, wrote six pages in longhand about his McKenzie ancestry. What follows is the result of many years of his historical research by traveling to Europe, visiting his relation with pen in hand and writing from hundreds of hours of correspondence. In many ways his detailed outlines have become the skeleton of various parts of the history that follows. His persistence of searching for relation was that of a college
professor and engineer. Bernard's "bio" is on page 20. I have
edited parts of Bernard's "The McKenzie Family In America". -H.B.
"To the best of our knowledge, the McKenzie Family in
America stems from a Scottish Clan in Scotland that resided in the area called Glencoe; some intermarried with Irish, German, Polish, Italian and other immigrants.
Some McKenzies emigrated to the 'colonies' in the early part of the eighteenth century and early historican records of Mary¬ land confirm this. In that period few people could read or write and most historical records have been handed down by word of
mouth and as with any data so transmitted, names are misspelled, since the person recording the data spells it as they hear it.
The McKenzie name is found spelled some 13 or more ways in
the same family. A few samples from the Cumberland area are: McKinsee, McKensy, McKinzie and even to the dropping of the Mc resulting in Kinsey, Kinzy, etc. Over 20 different names have
actually been recorded from the same area!
One reason was very few of the early settlers could either read or write since they were farmers. Schools were not avail¬ able in the areas where they resided and since the parents could not do so, how were they to teach their children?
At the time the McKenzies came to the colonies, they settled in farming areas where they could make a living for their
families and had very little money. Thus no schools were avail¬ able to allow them to send their children for education. Schools at that time were only for the rich people - they could not
afford to send their children over long distances to the schools!
With this in mind we have attempted to trace the McKenzie family history and other "clans" that have intermarried here in America. Sometime after 1620 Lord Baltimore was granted
extensive areas in "the colonies" in an attempt to obtain good farmers and people willing to venture into these (at that time)
relatively wild and unknown lands in the area now called Mary¬ land.
King Charles I (of England) gave to his (Lord Baltimore's)
son, Cecilius Calvert, the area of Maryland, as it is now known.
To find people willing to forego their native country, Lord Baltimore went to the region of Glasgow, Scotland, where there were many farmers with excellent farms, seeking people willing to take a chance in a new country. There he was able to collect a large number of people who were almost entirely Catholic farmers.






-11-
In this Glasgow area there lived four McKenzie brothers: John, Samuel, Moses and Duncan. About 1686 (?) Duncan accom¬
panied Lord Baltimore to Maryland on one of his trips to his
colony in America and decided to remain and try his luck there.
In tracing the McKenzies in the early time of the "Maryland" area we have found the McKenzie name and been able to trace back to the father of Gabriel McKenzie - one Samuel McKenzie, who was
born in Maryland. In fact several Samuels have sons named
Gabriel, two of which are interconnected in this family.
And in the area of Scotland from whence came the early
colonial settlers of Maryland, they were all Catholics and thus Maryland was mainly a Catholic Colony - until the so-called
British Reformation when the King of England (Henry the 8th)
declared himself the "Head of the Church of England".
After the end of the Colonial-British War, a number of
German soldiers from the province of Hesse, Germany, who had been rented to the British king to fight for him in the "Revolutionary War", decided to stay in the colonies and try their chances as farmers in the new land.
In the early days of the colonies intermarriage was very
common with cousins marrying cousins in this family tree.
As the early records of family history were kept mainly in the churches and the parents being unable to read or write, many a priest or other churchman being unable to properly interpret a Scotch or Irish brogue to say nothing of a German trying to speak English! So the early settlers intermarried to produce a true American race! In those early days newspapers were few and far between and with only a very few people able to read or write, who needed them.
As you will notice in the families we are trying to trace
- certain forenames have been repeated from family to family -
even into the present day - both in the male and the female line
(which makes it difficult to track our ancestors).
To return to one Duncan McKenzie and the family that ensued we are indebted to early work by Albert McKinzie, of Gallia
Street, Portsmouth, Ohio, who gave information to Henry (Bud)
McKenzie of Monessen, Pennsylvania, now of Dayton, Ohio. Bud's lineage comes from Gabriel McKenzie's son, James Redmond. Barb McKenzie of Circleville has contributed much to our history.
In those early colonial days there was considerable migra¬ tion - generally westward, but some also both north and south. Under such conditions it was very difficult to maintain written records of who resided where, who had paid their taxes, who was eligible to vote, who resided in Pennsylvania or in Maryland.
Many other difficulties arise in tracing families in Mary¬ land due to a fire at the Annapolis Court of records which des¬ troyed most of the early records of the residents of the
surrounding area in the early years of Maryland and no other records duplicated the original ones.
I have tried to collect family history from a number of states in fairness to all. It's difficult to sift ashes to written data that may be readable. Occasionally a McKenzie relation is found who belongs within our family group."

"A people which takes no pride in the noble achieve¬ ments of remote ancestors will never achieve anything
worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants."
- Thomas B. Macauley (1800-1859) English historian, author

Gabriel McKenzie was born June 30, 1794, in Maryland. His
ancestors are traced back to Ross Shire, Scotland, where Colin/ /Collins/Malcolm McKenzie was born c. 1630. Colin's son, John
Sr., was born c. 1659 in Saint Mary's Co., Maryland, and married
Sarah Ellinor Anderson.
John McKenzie Sr. is the father of John Jr., born c.1695
in Saint Mary's Co., Maryland. John Jr. and Catherine(Gabriel)
McKenzie are the parents of Gabriel, born c.1715.Catherine
Gabriel was a native of Ireland. Gabriel McKenzie married Sarah
Durbin in1742 in Frederick Co., Maryland. Their eldest child
is Samuel Sr., born c.1750, died1837, age86.
Samuel McKenzie Sr. and Rachel Durbin became the parents
of our subject, Gabriel McKenzie. The Marriage License of this Gabriel and his bride-to-be, Rachel Blubaugh, are recorded in the Probate Court Records at Alleghany County, Maryland, on June
2,1821.On July 30,1821, at Saint Patrick Church, Cumberland,
Maryland, Gabriel married Rachel Blubaugh, born c.1791 in
Maryland. The Dominican missionary priest, Father Nicholas
Young, O.P., witnessed their marriage. Father Young traveled to Somerset and Danville, Ohio, in the 1820-30's.
Rachel is the daughter of John Blubaugh I and Jememiah
Logsdon. She and Gabriel were very likely cousins. John is the son of Jacob Blubaugh I, who died in 1788 in Frederick Co., Mary¬
land and is mentioned in Jacob's Will. John Blubaugh I died in 1819 and Jememiah in 1832, both in Somerset Co., Pennsylvania.
See "Appendix I -III" about our early Logsdons and McKenzies.
By August 25,1842, Gabriel McKenzie is living in the Quinn
Settlement, Gallia Co., Ohio, where he remains into1845.On
August27,1874, he died at Minerton, Wilkesville Township, in
Vinton, Ohio, at the age of80 years,1 month and28 days.

Rachel and Gabriel are the parents of eight children, the first seven were baptized at Cumberland 1822-32. So maybe the
family moved after Susannah's birth in May 1834 as her baptism
is not recorded in Cumberland. Rachel's death is
The McKenzie children are Elizabeth Garrity/McKenzie (A),
James Redmond(B), Samuel(C), John(D), Rachel Emily Stanton
(E)Lidia(F), Ambrose(G) and Susanna(H).
A/2Garrity/Garety, Elizabeth(McKenzie/McKinzie), born May15,
1822, was baptized May18,1822, at Saint Patrick Church,
Cumberland, Maryland. Her godparents were Uncle Ben and
Aunt Mary Blubaugh. The 1870 and 1880 Census list her birth
in Pennsylvania, not Maryland. Cumberland was most likely the closest church.
Eliza's first marriage was to Thomas Garrity(Garlitz)
on Nov.22,1840, at Saint Luke Church, Danville, by Father
John Lamy. The issue of children and Mr. Garrity's death is
unknown at this time.
A/2McKenzie, Elizabeth(McKenzie/Garrity), second marriage to
William H. McKenzie on November3,1853, at Saint Mary Ch.,
Covington, Kentucky. Eliza died December19,1893, a widow
of30 years with burial at Saint Joseph Cem., Circleville.
William H., born March25,1830, in Ohio, but his
parents and place of birth is not known,He lived less than
ten years after his marriage to ElizabethIn the1860
Census of Wilkesville Township, Bill is afarmer, whose real
and personal estate is valued at$375.
"The Roster of Ohio Soldiers,1861-66War of the Re-
bellion," concerning114th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment,

Elizabeth and William's six children were Lydia Ann,
Edward, Joseph G., Rachel E., Mary M. and Anna Susanna
(born 3 months after Bill entered the service). All these children were born in Ohio, except for Lydia.

B/2McKenzie, James Redmond, born Sept.7,1823, named after
the priest, Father James Redmond, of Cumberland. He was "baptized on September 19, 1823, at Saint Patrick Catholic
Church, Cumberland, Maryland, by Father T. Ryan, with Catherine McKensey as godmother".
James married Sarah Ellen McKenzie on Nov.3,1846, in
Ross Co. Sarah's parents were Caleb and Margaret(Magers/
Majors) McKenzie. Born October8,1831, on March11,1833,
she was baptized in Knox Co., Ohio, probably at Saint Luke,
Danville, where her father is listed on March26,1831.
It should be noted that two brothers married sisters.
James' younger brother, Samuel, married in February1846 to
Margaret, sister of Sarah McKenzie. Caleb McKenzie died
after Sarah's birth. His widow married Joseph Sapp in1837
at Saint Luke Church, Danville.
In the1850 Census Margaret Sapp is living in Ross Co.
with Samuel and Margaret McKenzie.
The family of James McKenzie according to the1850,1860
and1870 Census records are living in Vinton Co. as farmers.
This J. R. McKenzie family moved to Jackson Township,
Pickaway Co. in1876.Inhe moved his family to
Franklin Co., where they bought a farm and set up a family milk delivery business. The horse-drawn milkwagon was
painted black with the lettering of J. R. McKenzie painted on the side. Milk was carried in a large container in the wagon and people came to the wagon to receive their milk.
About 1893 the McKenzie diary barn burned to the ground. Unfortunately the fire was deliberatly set by one of the
children who "was refused a horse to ride into town". This was a tragic setback for the family and J. R. was never the same after this terrible financial reversal. The milk cows, horses and milkwagon were saved.
Jim and Sarah were blessed with thirteen children. James
died on August1,1905, at Shepherds, Ohio, with burial at
Mt. Calvary Cem., Columbus, in the Cathedral Section D, Lot
112, Graves2-3, beside his wife.
Sarah was an invalid for two years before her death of
"paralysis on July24,1899.She lived in Marion Township,
Delaware County. Her funeral was at Saint Peter's,
Columbus."
The Ward Family Bible provided full names and birthdates of the McKenzie offspring: Joseph, Thomas, Francis, John, Agnes Welsh, James, Margaret Ward, Edward, Sarah (Sister
Mary Alonso CSC), Samuel, Ignatius, Caleb and Mary Stecher.
B/3McKenzie, Joseph Gabriel, born April17,1848, farmer and
living at home in June1880.He married Lucy/Laura Alice
Mathes on Nov.18,1880, in Ross Co., maybe at Minerton.
Laura was born July7,1857, the daughter of

In 1883 Gabe and Laura took their two firstborn, Gus
and the baby, Sarah, to Kansas in a wagon train. The
purpose was to link up with other McKenzie cousins already there, but not finding a good job, they returned the next year. Sarah was a frail child and rode on a pillow on the wagon bed.
Gus, as a young boy, remembers the return trip with an¬ other wagon train a year later and sitting around the
campfire watching the fire gleaming off the red eyes of wolves at night.
Gabriel was struck by a car while crossing West Broad Street to visit his son, Alonzo. He lived several days
and died June21,1927, at Mt. Carmel Hospital. Laura
died Nov.9,1945, in Marion, and is buried beside Gabe
in Saint Joseph Cemetery, Columbus, in the Saint Joseph Section.
"Gabe" and Laura are the parents of eight: Gus, Sarah Simmons, James, Thomas, Anna and Mary (twins), John and
Alonza/Alonzo.
B/4McKenzie, Augustus "Gus" Stanislaus, born May7,1881,
on Feb.12,1907, married Margaret Maud Wright, daughter
of George Washington Wright and Eliza Ellen Dopp.
Father Wm. McDermott witnessed their marriage at Holy Family Rectory, Columbus. After Josephine's death
Maggie took instructions and became Catholic.
Maggie was born Apr. 20, 1887, at Ripley, W. Virginia.
She was an 17 year old graduate of Clinton Township High School. Since she passed the standard "Boxwell Test" Maggie had plans to become a teacher. When she was offered a teaching position many, many miles away by horse and buggy, she turned it down, not wanting to lose her future husban
The newlyweds were ambitious people and lived early
in Franklin County, and in Worthington, where Laura and Anna were born. They raised their nine children on
Rt. 310 after moving in 1926 from 3 acres on Tremont
Road, just noth of Lane Avenue.
Previously Gus worked for Sciote Country Club and took care of the golf course. In the winter he sprinkled the tennis courts to make ice rinks from 1918-20. He cut
the golf course with a triplex pulled with his team of horses.
Gus was a contractor - digging cellars and grading
cellars in the Upper Arlington area. This was prior to 1926 when he also used slip scrapers for housing developments. He hired a number of men and teams of horses.
Apparently successful, Gus developed ulcers, so
decided to buy a 100 acre farm just south of Johnstown
on State Route 310 in Licking County. The family hosted
both McKenzie and Wright family reunions for many years.





-5-
Maggie and Gus raised their family of ten children
on their homestead: Josephine, Laura, Anna Reich, Ida
Crow, George, Margaret, Grace Bowman, Winifred, Hugh and Thomas. Only Tom was born there.
Being very education minded, the six youngest daugh¬ ters all graduated from Alexandria High School. Maggie taught Gus the remainder of his deprived education.
She taught her children many songs and school cheers that she composed herself.
Gus died Nov.2,1966, and Maggie, March20,1977,
with burial at St. Joseph Cem., beside Josephine.
B/5McKenzie, Josephine Augusta, born July26,1910, died
Sept.24,1917, of typhoid fever. Gus bought six
burial plots at St. Joseph Cem., Columbus, for his
own family when Josephine died, but many of his family thought these plots were theirs.
Josephine had just entered second grade when she
and her mother both took sick and were taken to White Cross Hospital by ambulance. Maggie was in a coma
when Josephine died. Gus paid all his doctor's and hospital bills by cash, long before insurance started.
B/5McKenzie, Laura Ellen, born May5,1912, attended
South Perry, Alexandria Junior and High Schools. She worked as a practical nurse in private duty for many years, until May 1977 when she retired from the
Citizens Journal and Columbus Dispatch.
Laura shares a home with her single sisters, Mar¬
garet and Winifred, since October1962 at1449 Coburg
Rd., Columbus, OH43227.The girls took care of their
parents for many years at this residence until their deaths.
B/5Reich, Anna Mae(McKenzie), born Aug.26,1914, was a
"Rosy the Riveter" at Curtis-Wright airplane assembly during World war II.

Notes:

The Caleb McKenzie referenced at this location of the web site oftentimes gets confused with a Caleb McKenzie born around the same time frame, who WAS the son of Aaron McKenzie (b. abt. 1769).

The following is an email I sent to Corey Wilson in January, 2020. It sets forth the efforts of the McKenzie Group of Genealogists referenced in my book to attempt to connect Caleb McKenzie, the husband of Margaret Magers, to his parents.

Hi Corey:

Glad you found my site and reached out to me.

I wish I could be of help, but the information I can share with you is not encouraging with regard to your search for your roots.

There are two Caleb McKenzies both born around the same time who, unfortunately, have been comingled on various Internet sites. One of the Calebs was definitely the son of Aaron McKenzie (b. abt. 1769). Insofar as the other Caleb is concerned, the research group of which I am a member have attempted to connect him to his parents now for many years and have been unable to do so. If you look at the Caleb on my web site (b. abt. 1791), he is correctly connected to his father, Aaron. The other Caleb from whom I suspect you descend is the one married to Margaret Magers. He is the person we cannot connect to parents – try as we have attempted for about 20 years.

I am hoping that you will be able to make my day and be able to provide us with some personal family documents which may be able to further assist us in documenting your McKenzie family line. We always get excited when a descendant of a female McKenzie contacts us, since the females tend to get lost in the genealogy tree over time because of changing their last names. How far back do you have records cementing together the links to the various McKenzie generations?

Also, you provided me with a great list of names in your email. Have you been able to document those people from any first hand sources? I have not taken the time to closely compare the names you provided with the ones on my site. I intend to do so once I hear from you.

Again, I’m sorry I had to throw a bucket of cold water on your genealogy search. This Caleb of yours has been very elusive. A good friend of mine, Bobbie McKenzie, started chasing information on him in about 1965. As of the last time I corresponded with her about two years ago, she still had not been able to connect him with his parents. And, that chase entailed going to courthouses all over Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois in her search. So, many others have tried but have all come up empty. I am crossing my fingers right now hoping you might be the person to help us solve this conundrum and help us all with this nagging loose end.

I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Mike McKenzie
