| Notes |
- In Col. G.T. MacKenzie's notes appears the following excerpt of a real estate transaction involving a "John" McKenzie, who may be this one, as follows: 1802, 1st April between William Stidger of Allegany County, State of Maryland and John McKinsey, son of Gabriel of the same state, Lot 3683 westward of Fort Cumberland and also a tract of land called Matthews Addition for which the same William Stidger gave his bond of conveyance to said John McKinsey on the 27th day of January, 1800.
The following email was sent by Dick MacKenzie. Neither Dick nor Michael A. McKenzie have "researched" this line from this point forward. The data was copied from other sources. Anyone interested in further researching this line will need to get their "boots on the ground" and dig out the appropriate, and hopefully accurate, information. Ed. Note May 16, 2013
All: Went through my files since my original response, and found a tentative tree in rough form (not sure where/how I got it, or the accuracy), but it jibes with what Mike shows below, and seems to confirm some of the facts shown in Priscilla's original message. The tree looks like this:
John A. McKenzie b. 1765 MD d. 1852 Madison Co., KY m. Melinda Porter b.
1768 MD and had following children:
Margaret b. 1789 MD m. Jehu (John) Young

Sarah M. (Sally) b. 1799 MD d. 1893 Brown Co., IL m. George L. Logsdon
John A. Jr. b. 1800 MD m. Julia Judy Gray

his brother Aaron's estate?]

**********
That's all I could come up with! While I agree with the theory that John A.
was of the Gabriel line, I question if he was Gabriel's son, as all of them
were born in the 1840's. Maybe a grandson?
Hope this helps,
Dick
Bobbie McKenzie sent the following in response to and in addition to what Dick MacKenzie sent above:
Hi, all. I knew that I saved this info for some reason! I think that there may be confusion with Henry W. b. 1801. I'm guessing that the info you have is from "Skokie Mac" Fred Joe McKenzie. Too much paperwork on this line to re-keyboard so will let you decide what to do with it when you receive this.
Regards, Bobbie
Item 1. There is evidence that John to Kentucky was son of Gabriel 1715.
According to Durbins, Logsdons and Related Families by Wm Jesse Durbin, Bible records give the date of Sarah Durbin McKenzie's birth as 19 Sept 1725. Easily possible for her to have a child in 1765. In Allegany Co Land Records 1802 Bk c p.475 deed from William Stidger to John McKenzie of Gabriel dated 1 April 1802. The deed reads "John McKenzie son of Gabriel".
The land was lot 3683 and Mathews Addition.The exchange of money actually took place 7 Jan 1800, according to the deed.
Page 476 is the record of the sale of the same land to Patrick Murdock.
Says land was patented 2 Dec. 1799. Lindsay, wife of John McKenzie, appears in court to relinquish her right of dower.
Page 477 is the record of a bond between Stidger and John," recorded at the request of John McKinzie of Gabriel" Stidger binds himself for $580 "sealed with my seal and dated 27 Jan. 1800."
(Sounds like they got behind on making sale official. Descendants in Allegany Co say John sold the land just prior to moving to Kty, Will send you my copy of the deed, if you want it, Mike.))
Item 2: Norma Kramer did a lot of research in the 1980s on the McKenzies in Macon, Sangamon, Shelby and Christian counties,all adjoining counties in IL.
These McKenzies seem to be branches of the McKenzie brothers of Generations
2 & 3. According to Helen Cox Tregillis, a professional researcher hired by Norma, 1830 Shelby Co census shows Gabriel, Henry, John, Samuel and Aaron.
Gabriel went to Iowa according to the 1845 Shelby Co Delinquent taxlist.
(NOTE: This may be where we get confused. Years ago I found an Aaron b. 1835 Ill in Scott Twp, Madison Co. Iowa.1880 census.
Item 3: This Gabriel may tie to this line. ( The line of John of John of Joshua RW was also in Christian Co but no Gab in that line)
From history of Christian Co., Ill.
Gabriel McKinzie was born in 1797 and
died in Taylorville Oct. 22, 1862; he settled in this county at an early day; was a great fiddler and played for all the dances and frolics ol this part .of the country, and helped the young people to break the mo- notony of 'a pioneer life and enjoy the inno- cence of youth. Christian Co Ill
From "Some Early Settlers of Christian Co, Ill" compiled by Historical Society Gabriel McKenzie b. 1797, settled Christian Co in 1820s. He was a great fiddle player. Died Oct.22, 1862
4. Norma is descended from Henry 1801 son of John and Linday. She also has the line of another son Absalom.I also corresponded with a Bob McKenzie, construction worker in Hawaii. descended from another son Daniel. Bob was a WW II vet so may not be alive now.I tried to reach out to Norma but SS Death Index tells me she died this year, age 88.
I have names and OLD e-mail addresses of others working on this line.
