  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.
