| Notes |
- David MacKenzie of Howard Co., Maryland Will dated 06 Jan 1881 (T.B.H. folio 563, MSA film CR 32993). After the death of my beloved wife I bequeath to my children and grand children namely David, Geroge W., Ruth, Catherine, Ellen, Julia Ann, Susan R., and Martha Ellen Tucker 98 acres of land part of three tracts called part of Hobsons Choice, part of Addition to Hobsons Choice, and part of MacKenzies Discovery to be equally divided.
This is the same land handed down by John Mackenzie (b. 1687) via his Will dated 1758 to his son Daniel (b. 1716/1717) then to his son Aaron (b. 1769) then to his son David (b. 1798) and then to be split amonst David's descendants as outlined above. What a wonderful record to track 5 generations of Eastern Maryland MacKenzies.
On a deed (Howard Co., Court Vol. 1 p.8, Liber J.L.M. folio 8 & 9) dated 12 Mar 1840, from Aaron MacKenzie to David MacKenzie of the lands so described "devised to Michael MacKenzie by his father John MacKenzie, by his last will and testament bearing date the seventeenth day of March one thousand seven hundred and fifth eight." It goes on the lay out the location, as beginning at the bounded trees of the Addition to Hopsons Choice, to intersect the outlines of MacKenzie's Discovery Enlarged, containing ninety eight acres.
In consideration of the sum of $5.00 to David MacKenzie and wife Sarah D. of Howard County, Aaron L. MacKenzie obtains the deed to 6 1/4 acres being in a tract of land called Additon to Hobsons Choice. Dated 09 Oct 1868, Howard Co., Maryland Circuit Court, Liber W.W.W. 28 f.448.
By the will of David MacKenzie (MSA film CR32993, T.B.H. f.563) 06 Jan 1881, John W. is left the following: 12 1/4 acres called Hobsons Choice, and 37 acres of Addition to Hobsons Choice adjoining Aaron MacKenzie's lot.
In an email from Dick MacKenzie dated 9 Sep 2013, he wrote:
Now, on to the other Aaron d. 1831, who was the youngest son of Daniel2. His offspring never went to Allegany Co. or anywhere else in Western MD as far as I can tell. Jesse b. 1807 is not of this Aaron. Aaron’s children were born about as follows:
Caleb b. @1791 (Don’s ancestor, who married Elizabeth Pierce and stayed in the Ellicott City area)
Jesse @ 1792 (who is believed to have also stayed in Ellicott City)
Mary L. @ 1795 (Married Joseph Pierce, stayed local, and their daughter Rachel Elizabeth married Joseph McKenzie, brother of Israel Jr.)
David (my ancestor) b. 1798
Catherine b. 1800 (married John Hancock Hyatt and moved to Zanesville, Muskingum Co., OH in the late 1820’s)
Rachel b.@ 1803 (married Enoch Pearce and moved to Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH by 1842. He had a different wife by 1860)
Aaron b.@ 1810 (lived on the family property in Ellicott City w/older brother David, apparently never married)
John Hancock died in Zanesville, and Catherine and the children moved to Knox Co., OH by 1840, when son John is shown as head of household. Why Knox Co? Maybe because she had cousins there? I don’t know if this untangles anything – maybe just makes the mess messier!?

Cemetery notes and/or description:

This series of deeds researched by Dick MacKenzie of eastern Pennsylvania assist in connecting multiple generations of MacKenzies of the Daniel (b. 1716/17) line. Thay also supply a tantalizing clue with regard to the Michael McKenzie line (one of the six children of John MacKinzie (b. 1687), which as of December, 2012 had not been extended beyond these deeds by any previous McKenzie researcher. As of 2012, the McKenzie Research Group is not aware if any descendants of Michael McKenzie exist. |

 | Deed from Aaron McKenzie (b. abt. 1804) to David MacKenzie (b. 1798) Page 1
Howard County Deed Records Book 1-8, pg. 1 001. This deed references a sale involving the 98 acres that Michael McKenzie inherited from John McKenzie (b. 1687) in his will of 1798. Aaron McKenzie is believed to be a brother of David MacKenzie (b. 1798) per the research of Dick MacKenzie. This seems to transcend family branches and is a little confusing. |

 | Deed from Aaron MacKenzie to David MacKenzie (b. 1798) Howard Co., MD Land Records Liber #1 f. 8
This is a better copy of the deed listed on David MacKenzie's home page. It involves a 98 acre share of the land that was devised by John MacKenzie to his children in 1758. This particular deeds references that the property involved is that parcel that John devised to his son, Michael MacKenzie. It is still a bit of a mystery as to precisely who the Aaron was who sold this parcel to David. Dick MacKenzie surmises that this Aaron may have been a grandson of Michael MacKenzie, although nothing is referenced in the deed, or any other document for that matter to precisely identify him. |

 | Gravestone of David MacKenzie (b. 1798)
Inscription reads: "D.M. b. 1798 d. 1885". Located at McKenzie Road and Hannon Court, Ellicott City, Maryland. Per Dick MacKenzie, grave was moved to this location diagonally across from Hannon residence from the family cemetery somewhere on the original property.

 | Gravestones of David MacKenzie (b. 1798), Sarah Jones MacKenzie (b. 1811) and daughter, Ruth
Contributed by Richard Lee (Dick) Mackenzie, January, 2011. Located at McKenzie Road and Hannon Court, Ellicott City, Maryland. Per Dick MacKenzie, graves were moved to this location diagonally across from Hannon residence from the family cemetery somewhere on the original property.
Also, per Ann Stansbarger comes the following: "This is a beautiful picture. Thanks for copying me. When I visited the Hannon’s they walked me across the street from their house to this place. They said they had moved the 3 headstones to this place when they graded the property for their son/daughter’s house (I can’t remember which). They pointed toward that property. I could see where the house was from where I was standing. It was just down the road a bit, toward the river on a little hill.
You can see it on Google maps. It is a very large round-shaped property on the same side of McKenzie road as the Hannon’s house (that is, the west side), ringed by McKenzie Rd, Old Maple Ct and Ridge Tree Ct. Because it is high ground I think it must have been the original family cemetery. The other grave markers have never been found. I suspect they were knocked over and covered by dirt during a flood. According to the Hannons there was a particularly destructive flood in 1868. Or maybe they were used by subsequent landowners for building materials. I hope not. That would be sad." January, 2011. |
