Katherine Unknown

Notes:

Excerpt from McKenzies of Early Maryland by: Michael A. McKenzie:

On 2 APR 1776 John’s grandson, William McKenzie, son of Aaron, sold to Greenbury Randall 96 acres of “McKenzie’s Discovery”. The parties agreed that 1/4 acre “at the head of the great falls on the Petapsico (sic) River where John MacKenzie and his wife are buried” will be reserved. Obviously, by 1776, Katherine McKenzie also had died. This property is now in Howard County, Maryland, across the river from Baltimore County.

Family/Spouse: John McKenzie. John was born in 1687 in Unknown; died in 1758 in Prince George's County, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Richard (Dick) MacKenzie March 2021:

On page 101 (of the MOEM book), where children of Ann McKenzie and John Mattocks/Mattox are discussed, I still believe that the Michael McKenzie Mattox who ultimately died in 1815 in Tattnall Co., GA was not the son, rather the grandson, of Ann and John, based on the discovery last year of the Probate record in Barnwell Dist. of SC, which shows that a Michael M. Mattocks/Mattox died in Nov 1802 in Barnwell, and that Ann Mattocks, Administrator of his estate, executed a Warrant of Appraisement on 6 Dec 1802, with copies to be given (sent?) to Richard Stanley, McKinsie Mattocks and John Mattox. I believe the “McKensie Mattocks” indicated is son Michael who soon thereafter moved to GA. I’ll try to get you a copy of the record.

Based on this scenario, I have changed the DOB in my tree for MMM I to 1737, which also is much more likely to be closer to the real year, since he was left land by his grandfather in 1758, and means he was 75 years old when he died – sounds reasonable. I changed the birth year of his mother to 1719 (although there is nothing to prove she wasn’t the first born of the children), and have made MMM II born in 1756, meaning he was ripe to be in the Rev. War. I know I took some liberties with dates, but I still think this is closer to truth.

Thoughts from Scott Williams to the author. August 14, 2018:

I will share with you the reader's digest version of one of my avenues of research. There are no original source records that positively link the Porters with the McKenzies before settlement in Western Maryland. If you believe tradition and family lore, they must have been in close proximity to each other in the generation of Daniel, Gabriel, and Daniel McKenzie down in the Patapsco/Baltimore Co/Frederick County area. We have reported intermarriage between Henry Porter and a Durbin as well as the reported Porter/McKenzie intermarriages. Yet no one (including the Colonel) has found proof in the traditional resources like deeds, patents, etc. We have a few other MD Porters thereabouts, but we have all but eliminated them as suspects. There are a ton of Porters along the PA/MD border, and they are not so easily eliminated, but they all seem to be Scots-Irish Protestants - again, not fully disqualifying, but not too promising either.

This I do know (or propose as a thesis). The first positive connection in the record appears in Bedford County, PA. Sam and John McKenzie appear there in 1773, Gabriel and Sam in 1774 and again in 1775. John Porter appears on the next page from them in 1775 as a "renter". In 1776 Gabriel McKenzie and John Porter appear - and Sam appears as an "inmate" (uh-oh :)). The PA records appear to be non-existent for a few years then pick up again in 1779, when all I have is John Porter and no McKenzies. Do note, however that Gabriel, Aaron, Sam, and Daniel McKenzie take the loyalty oath over in Washington (now Allegany) County in 1778.

So my thesis is that Gabriel and sons moved westward to Bedford County PA beginning in 1772 and that this move appears to coincide with the sale of three properties in Frederick County. Gabriel and sons stay on the Bedford side of the line until 1777 or 78 when they move across the line into Maryland. John Porter appears adjacent to them in the record from 1775 to 1778 when they move - he stays in PA until around 1784 and eventually resettles in Maryland. John Porter is reported to have lived near Wellersburg PA with is 'just across the line' from the Mount Savage area - and if you have been there, you will know that it is pretty much "all the same place".

So, this puts John Porter in proximity to the McKenzies, but I need more in the way of kinship ties, etc. In the attached loyalty oath you will see all of our Catholic tribe in one place by 1778, including Henry Porter (brother of John and Moses Porter) who reportedly married a Durbin.

Excerpt from author's book The McKenzies of early Maryland:

Gabriel McKenzie

Gabriel McKenzie (1) was born in Hopson’s Choice, Baltimore County, Maryland about 1715. He married Sarah Durbin in 1742 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Baltimore County, Maryland. (1.1) Together they had seven children:

1.Anne McKenzie

2.Michael McKenzie

3.Samuel McKenzie (2)
Born 1750
Married Abt. 1790 to Ellen _______
Had children Samuel F., John M., Gabriel, Sara Ann, Eleanor, Polly, Jane, Catherine, Elizabeth, Moses
Died 1837 in Allegany County, Maryland per Death Register for St. Patrick’s Church.

4.Daniel McKenzie
Born Abt. 1755
Married Mary Ann Chapman 2 DEC 1779 in Washington County, Maryland
Had children William, Richard, Samuel, Mary Ann, Daniel, Aaron and James Moses
Died 1825, Allegany County, Maryland

5.John McKenzie
Born 1765
Married Lindy (Melinda) Porter
Had children Aaron, John, Daniel, Henry, Gabriel, Samuel E., Sarah,
Mary, Marjery, and Margaret
Died 1852, Madison Co, KY

6.Aaron McKenzie
Born 1768

7.Joshua McKenzie
Born 1768

On 5 NOV 1743, Gabriel McKenzie had a survey recorded for “Gabriel’s Choice”. (4) This tract lay southwest of Westminster MD, on the west side of Mt. Airy Road, between the tracts of James and Thomas Wells. The operative words of the document stated that the land was located in Baltimore County, which given the date is consistent with the fact that Frederick County (where the land is situated today) was formed from Baltimore County and Prince George’s County in 1748. It further states that Gabriel MacKenzie (actual spelling) had received a common warrant for 100 acres of land from “His Lordship’s Land Office dated the 17 Day of March, 1742 and that Gabriel was a resident of Ann Arundell County (actual spelling). (5) The land patent itself was formally issued on the “1st Day of December 1743 by Thomas Bladen, Your Lieutenant General and Chief Governor of our said Province of Maryland, Chancellor & Keeper of the Great Seal thereof.” (6)

Per Thomas Scharf, Frederick County was not a safe place for Colonial settlers at the time Gabriel purchased and owned the property. (7) “In the French and Indian War which ensued after the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1749, between England and France, Maryland became involved mainly in self-defense, and though she was to share none of its spoils, her people were destined to suffer from many of the dangers and hardships it brought in its train. Even before Braddock’s defeat bands of Indians were making forays into Frederick County burning houses and slaughtering the inhabitants, but after his disastrous overthrow on the 9th of July, 1755, and the retreat of Col. Dunbar with the remainder of the British Army to Philadelphia, the whole northern and western frontier of the province was thrown open to the Indians. Measures of defense were almost immediately adopted, but even had they sufficed for the complete protection of the wide territory to be guarded, they would scarcely have allayed the terror which had taken possession of the frontier settlers. The alarm inspired by Braddock’s defeat and by the advance of the French and Indians was so great that many inhabitants of the western settlements fled to Baltimore, and preparations were even made by the people of that town to place the women and children on board the vessels in the harbor and send them to Virginia”.

In June 1750 Gabriel sued John White for cutting down the oak trees which marked the beginning of “Gabriel’s Choice.” (8)

On 18 JUN 1754, Gabriel purchased 50 acres “Small Addition” from James (a later deed for the same property refers to the seller as John White) and Margaret White of Frederick County (Frederick County having been formed six years earlier in 1748) (9). The land was located in Frederick County and per the legal description was situated near the head of the Little Pipe Creek. The reference to “Little Pipe Creek” in both the patent for Gabriel’s Choice and in the deed for “Small Addition” suggests that the parcels may have been contiguous.

On 14 JUL 1755, Gabriel McKenzie, planter of Frederick County, and his wife Sarah deeded to Nicholas Rodgers 200 acres, part of a “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice”.(10).

On October 6, 1764, Gabriel MacKenzie of Frederick County secured a patent for 19 acres of land in Frederick County called Addition to Gabriel’s Choice. The recitations at the beginning of the deed/patent state as follows: “By virtue of a Warrant granted out of his Lordship’s Land Office of the Province to Daniel MacKenzie and John Logsdon of Ann Arundel County for seventy five acres of land bearing date 17th of January, 1764, which said warrant is assigned to Gabriel MacKenzie of Frederick County, etc.” Since Daniel McKenzie is not known to have had a child by the name of Gabriel, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the assignment of this patent is that Daniel McKenzie and John Logsdon were assigning a portion of their seventy five acres to Daniel’s brother, Gabriel. (10.5) The Logsdon connection is an interesting fact in view of the information set forth below that Gabriel’s wife also had a Durbin connection, since she was the daughter of Samuel Durbin and Anne (Logsdon) Durbin.

On 28 Jun 1769, Gabriel McKinsey of Frederick County sold to William Buchanan 80 acres more or less of the property known as the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice”. (11) The sale price was 66 Pounds. The deed reflects that the property consisted of a portion of the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice” which was patented to Gabriel on the twenty third day of July, 1755. The deed further reflected that Sarah McKinsey, wife of Gabriel, had released her dower rights after having been examined out of the presence of her husband and did so “freely and voluntarily not being induced or compelled thereto by any threats of or ill usage from her said husband or fear of his displeasure.”

Sarah McKenzie apparently was the first child of Samuel and Ann (Logsdon) Durbin. She was born September 19, 1724 in a log cabin near Westminister, Maryland. (12)

On 7 APR 1772, Gabriel McKenzie sold three parcels of land in Frederick County totaling 147 acres to George Devilbess for the sum of 310 Pounds. (13) The three tracts included: (1) part of the original tract of “Gabriel’s Choice” and part of the “Resurvey of Gabriel’s Choice” (78 acres), (2) the “Small Addition” originally conveyed by John (sic) White to Gabriel in 1754 (50 acres) and which contains the reference to the “head of Little Pipe Creek” as referenced above and (3) a final tract entitled “Addition to Gabriel’s Choice”. Gabriel was listed as being a farmer residing in Frederick County, which coincides with the time line established by the Oath of Fidelity that Gabriel took in Washington County in 1778.

On 6 AUG 1785 Gabriel MacKinzie of Washington County (13.1) sold to Henry Hoover a parcel of property located in Frederick County called “Mount Pleasant” containing 47 acres. (14) The legal description reflected that the beginning of metes and bounds description began at the end of the “fifteenth line of Gabriel’s Choice” and ran from that location. The deed reflected that Sarah once again relinquished her dower rights. One of the Justices of the Peace who acknowledged the deed was Andrew Bruce, who during the Revolutionary War, administered the Oath of Fidelity (15) (16) to Gabriel MacKenzie. The oath was administered on 2 MAR 1778 in Washington County, Maryland.

On 25 April 1792, Gabriel McKinsey provided Leigh Master of Frederick County with a Release of Dower in connection with the previously discussed land transaction in June, 1769 between Gabriel and William Buchanan. Apparently, Sarah’s dower rights were not properly released at the time of the original transaction and the new owner wanted to obtain a clear title. The Release Deed reflected that Gabriel and Sarah were residents of Alleghany County, which is consistent with the fact that Alleghany County was carved from Washington County in 1789. The deed proves that both Gabriel and Sarah McKenzie were still alive as of April, 1792 and living in Alleghany County.

One of the last known land transactions involving Gabriel McKenzie occurred in connection with a patent he received for land west of Fort Cumberland on which he had settled. In November 2010, Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland provided the author with a copy of the patent issued by the State of Maryland to Gabriel McKenzie. According to Michael, the patent was difficult to locate because the property actually was patented to Peter Mayors (Majors) on May 23, 1803, although the patent itself reflects that the property was surveyed for Gabriel McKinsey..(18) Per the documents, Gabriel appeared before the Honorable Andrew Bruce, one of the Justices of the Peace of Allegany County, Maryland on May 16, 1792 and conveyed the fifty acres of land comprising lot number 3365 to Peter Mayors (Majors). The lot was described as being in the “reserved land west of Fort Cumberland”. Then on May 17, 1803, another document signed by Thomas Harwood, Jr. acknowledged and swore that “Gabriel Mckinsey, a settler westward of Fort Cumberland paid the purchase money for lot 3365”. Yet another unsigned document associated with this entire group of documents states that “Gabriel McKinney settler on Lot 3365 assigned to Peter Mayors (Majors) Patent to Peter Majors the 23rd May 1803”. This last document is a little confusing in that it could be interpreted that Gabriel was still alive in 1803 and was once again acknowledging that he was assigning lot 3365 to Majors so that he could obtain his patent. Since it is assumed by researchers that Gabriel was born abt. 1715, he would have been 88 years old in 1803 if he was still alive and capable of assigning the property to Peter Majors.

The same Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland has pinpointed the location of the Gabriel McKenzie land patent property. In these days of Google Maps, he did a fantastic job of locating the precise piece of property. The link to the Google Maps location for the property can be found at: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=15501+bear+camp+lane+mt+savage+md&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=27.423305,56.162109&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=15501+Bear+Camp+Ln+NW,+Mt+Savage,+Allegany,+Maryland+21545&ll=39.716595,-78.87424&spn=0.012973,0.027423&t=h&z=15

Paste that link into your browser and it will take you to the property. Michael also provided the author with a copy of the 1874 Map of Military Lots, Tracts, Escheats, etc. in Garrett County and Allegany County, Maryland. That map is located in the Media Section of the McKenzies of Early Maryland website. (19) If you locate that map and look directly under the "i & n " in PENNSYLVANIA at the top of the page, you will see a triangular lot # 3365 just above “Bear Camp”. That is the 50 acres of land that comprised the Gabriel McKenzie land patent. If you compare the 1874 map with the current Google map, the same triangular piece of property appears. Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland wrote to the author in November, 2010 and advised: “the lot is still the same shape and is still 50 acres owned by a nice couple, Earl Lepley and his wife, who by the way is a descendant of Gabriel. She was blown away when I told her she is living on her Grandpappys property.”

The author assumes Gabriel McKenzie died in Allegany County, Maryland after 1793 even though no will has ever been discovered, no any letters of administration, gravestone or church record.

Endnotes

1. From this point forward, the author has drawn partially upon the research of Col. Gabriel Thornton MacKenzie, Ret. Colonel MacKenzie researched the McKenzie Family from the late 1920’s until his death in the early 1960’s. He compiled over 1800 pages of handwritten notes from his research and travels. His descendant Joseph Edward McKenzie, P.O. Box 1671, Dunedin, Florida 34697 reduced all of Colonel McKenzie’s notes to microfilm obtainable from Dataplex Corporation 1502-A Joh Avenue Baltimore, Maryland 21227. Col. MacKenzie began corresponding with McKenzie relatives in 1929. Those early letters from elderly relatives (several of whom were born in the mid-1800’s) contain a great deal of information on the early generations of McKenzies from Western Maryland.

1.1 This information was gleaned from previous “research” of other McKenzie researchers. To date the author has not been able to find any documentation to substantiate it.

2. The information pertaining to Samuel McKenzie was provided by Debbie Harper. It has not been verified by the author. Although he was listed as being a settler on the lands west of Fort Cumberland, Samuel never bothered to obtain a proper patent on the land. On 10 SEP 1814, he sold part of lot 3369 to William Logsdon, Sr.. Samuel McKenzie, Sr. died intestate in March, 1837. As part of the procedure for settling the estate, Samuel's sons, Samuel F.(Jr.), Gabriel and John applied for and received a patent for the two lots Samuel, Sr. was living on (lots 3369 and 3370). The patents can be located on the Maryland State Archives at MSA SE 1-1 Image 020745-0329 and also on the www.mckenziesofearlymaryland web site in the Media section. The document is cross-referenced with Samuel McKenzie (b. abt. 1751). The sons immediately sold these lots. The settlement papers for his estate list all of his children except for Catherine and Elizabeth, who died before him without issue. Nowhere in the estate papers is a living widow of Samuel, Sr. mentioned. Yet, she must have been living, for in 1839, she executed a "make good" deed conveying her interest in the lots to her son, Samuel. (In fact, the boys selling the lots without her signature was illegal. She had to issue a retroactive deed to her son, Samuel, in order to clear the title on the property.) The deed in part reads: "Then came Ellen McKenzie . . . who sells to her son, Samuel McKenzie . . . for the sum of $1.00 and the natural affection of a mother toward her son . . . lots 3369 and 3370". This clearly shows that Samuel F. McKenzie (Jr's) mother was Ellen ____( and not Rachel Durbin as claimed by some researchers). The "make good" deed from "Ellen McKinzey" to "Samuel McKinzey" is recorded at Deed Book "W", page 535, Allegany County records.

Ed. Note: Given the similarity of names, the individuals who took the Oath of Fidelity to the State of Maryland most likely were Gabriel McKenzie and his sons, Samuel, Daniel and Aaron. Although the author does not have written proof that the individuals listed were father and sons, given the ages of Gabriel's children, the Oath of Fidelity information is consistent with Gabriel and his sons having migrated west to Washington County in the years preceding and/or during the Revolutionary War.

Gabriel married Sarah Durbin in 1742 in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Baltimore County, Md.. Sarah (daughter of Samuel Sr. Durbin and Anne Logsdon) was born on 19 Sep 1725 in Westminister, Baltimore County (now Carroll County) Md.; died about 1795. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Death: 1783, Anne Arundel Co., MD

Notes:

In 1785, Daniel Mckenzie lived in Anne Arundel County and owned "Molly's Fancy".

The following email was compiled by Dick MacKenzie in July, 2014 in his continuing attempt to try to determine the parental connection, if possible, for Isreal McKenzie and Hiram McKenzie, two names which appear in the late 1700's and early 1800's in the Baltimore, Maryland area. The Daniel, Jr. listed below is the son of Daniel MacKenzie (b. 1717).

I’ll try to lay this all out and maybe someone can connect dots, although I fear that the lack of good, solid record information may preclude anything definite.

We know that Daniel Jr. was in Anne Arundel Co. in January 1790, when the children of Daniel Sr. were involved in the court case in Frederick Co., Jr. and wife Ann having disposed of their land holdings in Frederick Co. prior to that date. However, Jr. never appears in a census there. In fact, the only person who does in 1790 is John “McKinsey” with 2 males under 16, 2 over 16, and 3 females. Of course, the bottom left portion of the AA Co. census pages are either missing or illegible, so there might have been other McKinseys shown that we can’t see. We also know, from the patent on “MacKinzie’s Angle” in September 1807 that Mary “Molly” MacKinzie, widow of Daniel Sr. was still alive at that point and apparently living in AA Co. On 27 Nov 1811 in AA Co., John McKinsey of Daniel has surveyed “McKinsey’s Manor” for 2 roods, 16 perches of land adjoining “Batchelors’ Choice” and “Carter’s Addition” (meaning that it was in the exact same area as the original MacKenzie family land holdings), and, although a warrant was granted to John of Daniel on 12 Feb 1812, just a month later, on 18 Mar 1812, John B. Dorsey has the same land resurveyed as “McKinsey’s Manor Neglected” and has it patented on 15 Dec 1813. Does that mean that John was a son of Daniel Jr.? I suspect so, but may never be able to prove it. In any event, it appears this John had up to 5 children, and would have been born in the 1760’s or 1770’s.

Move forward to 1800, and we have 4 McKinsey families shown in AA Co.:

Michael – I male under 10, four 16-25, one 45+; 1 female under 10, one 16-25, one 45+ (pg. 589)
William – 2 males under 10, one 26-45; 1 female under 10, one 45+ (pg. 588)
Daniel – 1 male 26-45; 2 females under 10, one 16-25 (pg. 588)
William – 1 male under 10, one 10-15, one 45+; 1 female under 10, two 10-15, one 45+ (pg. 587)

Then in 1810 as Mackinsey (indexed in Ancestry as Mackinney):

Michael – one male 16-25, one 45+; 1 female 45+
Aaron – 3 males under 10, two 10-15, one 45+; 2 females under 10, one 10-15, one 45+

These two families are next door to each other, and we know for sure that Aaron is Daniel Sr.’s youngest son, now living on Daniel’s portion (96 acres) inherited from his father John (and his mother apparently deceased), and it is equally assured that Michael is living on the other inherited land there (98 acres), with the only question being whether this is Michael of John (b. @ 1730) or a son by the same name. Then 16 lines later, the two following Mackinsey families:

Daniel –2 males under 10, one 17-26, one 45+; 1 female 17-26, one 17-45.
Orphelia – 1 male under 10, one 10-15; 2 females under 10, one 26-44.

The ages of Daniel’s children don’t match the 1800 Census ages. I do think Orphelia is the Orpha who appears again in 1830 -1860, and no I can’t locate her in 1820, but I have no idea who she might have been married to (if anyone?) and how she kept accumulating children. Orpha was also the name of one of Daniel Sr.’s daughters, so there was a penchant for the name in the family. Maybe she never married,

Daniel married Mary (Molly) Porter in 1738. Mary was born about 1721 in Carrollton County, Maryland; died after Sep 1807 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

All new to me as well. First I’ve seen that Moses may have been married twice. Racheal MacKenzie’s letter to the “Comacar of Annarandel County” is great. Do you have the document that reflects that language so that I can post it on the web site? Let me know.

Regards

Mike

30 May 1767 p.684 BB No 3 Rachael, widow of Moses, sold 32 acres of MacKenzie’s Discovery to John Cord, a blacksmith. (This would be her widow’s third.)

There is no record of the inventory or administration of the estate of Moses so this sale was probably negated.

26 Aug 1783 Moses of Moses sold all of McKenzie’s Discovery to James Cord
Evidently Rachael is dead by then, but again no inventory or administration unless she married again and those records would be under another surname. Possibility that Moses was with her on the home place, as youngest or oldest. He did not marry until 1785. No Equity Case found so evidently other children of Moses of John d. 1758 did not protest sale.

Bennett common name in Logsdon and Durbin lines.

George H. ( Must be confused with great-grandson of Moses 1720. First George McKenzie in records was the one born 1815, son of Joshua and Catherine Winters. This Joshua was son of Moses RW who was son of Moses 1720. Catherine Winters was the daughter of Geo Winter, perhaps the source of the name. Name Geo first appears in a chart by Samuel Doak Porter who shows Nicholas as son of Geo of Moses 1720. Actually Nicholas was son of Geo and Catherine and administered Geo’s estate.

Suggest: Bennett, Jonathan, Joshua, Jesse and Moses all end up in Pa.Coincidence? Jonathan, Joshua, Jesse all end up in Ohio.

From Ann Stansbarger:

With regard to the death date for Moses 1720, he was clearly dead long before 1779. I have Rachel Mckinsie listed as owing a debt to the estate of William Hall on 18 September 1771. I have Rachel selling Joshua into indenture in BA Co in 1768. And according to Bobbie, on 30 May 1767 AA Co Land Records P 684, BB No. 3 Rachel sold (unsuccessfully?) a portion of Mackenzie’s Discovery to James Cord. I don’t have this document. Have you ever seen it?

Based on everything I’ve seen, I do believe Moses was dead by 1767.

Thoughts from Ann McKenzie Stansbarger in an email to the author September 13, 2018:

Hi Mike,

The others will give you there own view on research objectives but I for one am thinking that Moses McKenzie became acquainted with the Porters because they had tenant farms near each other. This would answer the question about when and where the Mackenzies first met the Porters.

My working hypothesis is that Moses was working a tenant farm prior to his father’s death. After his father’s death in ‘58, he had access to an additional 96 acres which was part of Mackenzie’s Discovery. I suspect there was no house on this plot, so Moses and the family may have continued to live on the tenant farm for a time. If the tenant farm was in AA, they could have worked the two farms easily.

If the legend has a grain of truth in it, then Moses decided to sell his additions to the tenant farm (improvements, animals) and move on to a new stage in his life, either in AA, making due with 96 acres, or ultimately cashing out and moving west. That is when disaster struck and he died unexpectedly.

My hypotheses is that he died on the road alone and his body was never found. The story of the murder is one that the Porters have preserved. I believe that is what Rachel thought.

Anyway, it is a lot of conjecture on my part, but it makes sense to me. It would be nice to find something that would allow us to put this story to rest once and for all.

Also it would be great if we could find a connection between the families within the enclave of tenant farmers on one of the Charles Carroll parcels.

Best, Ann

Notes:

MICHAEL McKenzie MATTOX BORN: ABOUT 1750 -- DIED: 1815

Michael McKenzie Mattox was born about 1745. The first record we find on him, he and his wife, Elizabeth, are witnesses to the will of Cannon Cason (1), on 14 September, 1779, Craven County, S.C., Parish of St.Marks.

Michael McKenzie Mattox was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (2). Record is found of payment to him by the State of S.C. on 25 July, 1785, for 104 days militia duty in 1782. 1790 census (3) shows him with two males over 16, 4 males under 16, and 2 females in his family group. Barnwell County, S.C. deed records, show a deed of record (4) there from Michael McKenzie Mattox and his wife, Elizabeth, of Barnwell County, S.C. to William Tucker, Jr., dated 17 November,1800; 100 acres of land of the Little Saltke"cher.-The 100 acres being a portion of a larger tract granted Gasper Trotti in 1786-conveyed by lease and release to George Elzer on 26 and 27 January;1787, and conveyed to Michael McKenzie Mattox on 30 and 31 January,1787. This transaction recorded 3 November, 1801. About 1801-1802 Michael McKenzie and family moved to Tattnall County, Georgia. His daughter Sarah and son-in-law, William Eason, moved at the same time. In Tattnall County, he was granted several tracts of land and bought others, because he became a large landowner and influential citizen.

He died testate in Tattnall County in 1815 and his will (5) dated 18 January, 1815, was offered for probate 4 July, 1815, and pro­bated 7 August,1815. It named his sons, John and Elijah, as executors, and bequeathed his property to his wife and to his sons John, Elijah and Aaron and his son-in-law, William Eason.

Tattnall County, Georgia records show a deed of gift (6)"to be at her disposal after my decease" from Elizabeth Mattox, widow of Michael McKenzie Mattox "to my daughter" Elizabeth, wife of Mark Addison, dated 25 November 1816, "all my stock of cattle, hogs, horses, household and kitchen furniture" left to her in Michael McKenzie's will except 5 cows and calves she gives to son, John. Also, another deed of gift (7), same date, to "my son" James Williams of Barnwell District, S.C., one Negro man named Adam, and one Negro girl named Violet "after my decease". It is interesting to note two petitions in Tattnall County Superior Court, April Term 1817 (8). James Williams is petitioning the court for damages where he lost the slaves, Adam and Violet, to Elijah and John Mattox, respectively. The records state both Elijah and John had these slaves in their possession "by finding". From these documents, we place the date of Elizabeth's death to be 20 February,1817.

The will (9) of James Joyce of Barnwell County, S.C.,later moving to Tattnall County, Georgia, shows that Elizabeth was his daughter. From these two--Michael McKenzie Mattox and wife, Elizabeth Joyce Williams, came many descendants who have settled throughout the country. They are the earliest known ancestors at the present time. Information has come to us through Mr.Joseph Maddox of Irwinton, Georgia that he has a copy of a will dated 17 March,l758, from Anne Arundel County, Maryland, written by John McKenzie Mattocks. (This appears to be an error since John MacKenzie's will is dated 17 March 1758. Ed. note by Micahel A. McKenzie)

1
(wife, Anne McKenzie Mattocks). This will named his son, Michael McKenzie Mattocks (Wife, Elizabeth Hartridge Mattocks), and also his young grandson, Michael McKenzie Mattocks, to whom he left a, plot of land in Maryland. We feel this is a direct link to these earlier ancestors as the ages of the people involved are right. Further researching is continuing along these lines. Mr . Maddox also has other data identifying the Mattox family with the Maddox clan of Goochland County, Virginia. We know from land records, military records, and census records that Michael McKenzie spelled his surname Mattocks while living in South Carolina, and the spelling 'changed after he moved to Tattnall County, Georgia.

Daniel McKenzie

Daniel McKenzie (1) was born in Frederick County, Maryland about 1752. He married Mary Ann Chapman 2 DEC 1779 in Washington County, Maryland. Together they had seven children:

1.William McKenzie (2)
Born 1782
Had children George, Edward, Taylor, Perry, Walter and John

2.Richard McKenzie

Had children Henry, Grant, Aaron and Albert

4.Mary Ann McKenzie

Had children Daniel, Silas, Aaron W., John Ephriam and Samuel (4)

7.James Moses McKenzie
Born 1795
Married Margaret Agnes Porter 3 May 1823
Had children Mary Ann, Josiah, Gabriel Thornton, Eliza Jane, Daniel Richard, Margaret Amelia, Elizabeth, Anna Mary and Charles Moses
Died 10 JAN 1873

Daniel McKenzie and Mary Ann Chapman moved to Allegany County before 1792 and settled on land south of Cumberland. Daniel received a Patent for the land from the State of Maryland (5) in 1795. According to information contained in the Patent, he was able to purchase the land from the State at that time because he had originally settled on it. Pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly, he was given a preference to purchase the land before it was offered for sale to anyone else. Ultimately, he purchased Lots No. 3552, 3554 and 3569. Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland provided the author with more information concerning Daniel’s patent in November, 2010. There is a compilation of Military Lot Patents on record in the Maryland State Archives. (5.1) Daniel’s patents are set forth on pages 0348 and 0349. There also is a map that reflects all of the Military Lots, Tracts and Escheats that were awarded or sold to individuals in the late 1700’s and which contains Daniel’s patented lots 3552, 3554 and 3569. located south of Cresaptown. Daniel sold some of his land (50 acres) to William Shaw (6) in 1797.(7) On January 26, 1805, John Logsdon and Daniel McKinsy sold portions of lots 3568 and 3569 to Emanual Custer. (8) Then, in 1810, Daniel McKinzie reacquired from William Shaw the same parcel of land Daniel had sold to him in 1797 (50 acres). (9)

The Cumberland area was sparsely populated at the time Daniel McKenzie moved there. There were settlements in an area called Old Town as well as in Cumberland. (10) Daniel McKenzie along with Gabriel McKenzie, Josiah McKenzie, Moses McKenzie and Samuel McKenzie were listed as being some of the settlers living on land lying West of Fort Cumberland. (11)

Per information supplied to the author by Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland in November, 2010, Daniel McKenzie was quite active in the years immediately after his relocation to the area west of Cumberland. According to a 1974 issue of the Heritage Press newsletter, the following was the bond contract for replacing a bridge in the Cumberland area: ?”Pursuant to an order of the Levy Court the following bond as recorded this 2nd August 1796: Know all men by these presents that we, William Logsdon, John Logsdon, Ralph Logsdon and Daniel McKinzy are bound unto David Huffman, John Graham and Patrick Murdock for 747 pounds current money of the State. The condition: William Logsdon shall do and will and truly build and finish on or before 1st September, next, a good and sufficient wagon bridge over Wills Creektown of Cumberland at the place where the bridge lately stood, the said Bridge to be at least five feet higher than the late bridge, 16 feet wide with railing three feet high; he also to keep the same in good and sufficient repair for term of seven years and to rebuilt the same if carried away or destroyed, at his own cost except he not to replace, if the water rises over the bridge.” The Daniel McKinzy referenced was the son of Gabriel McKenzie (b. abt. 1715) . Gabriel lived in the Bald Knob area near Mount Savage, Maryland, where Earl Lepley’s property/residence currently is located as of November, 2010. Per the various maps referenced earlier, the Leplays currently live on the same 50 acres which Gabriel McKenzie owned in the 1790’s.

The 1800 census lists (12) Daniel McKinzie living in the Upper Old Town, (13) Georges Creek section of the county. His age was recorded as being in excess of 45 years as was his wife. There were three males at home under the age of ten, two males between ten and sixteen, one female between ten and sixteen and another female between the age of sixteen and twenty-six. (14)

The 1810 census lists Daniel McKinsey still living in the Upper Old Town, Georges Creek area. His age once again is listed as being in excess of 45. His wife was still alive. There was one male under the age of ten living with him, two males between ten and sixteen and one male between sixteen and twenty-six. There was one female between the age of sixteen and twenty-six residing in his household. (15)

The 1820 census lists Daniel McKinsey and his wife and two males, ages between sixteen and twenty-six residing in the Election District Number 6. (16) There is no record of Daniel in the 1830 census, which coincides with the fact he died in 1825. There also is no mention of his wife, Mary, as being a head of household at the time that census was taken. (17)

On June 9, 1812 Thomas Pollard conveyed 45 acres of property to Daniel McKenzie, which was referenced on plats at the time as “Allegany Republican”. That property later became the subject of an Equity Case in Allegany County after Daniel died without leaving a will. (18) The property was later sold by order of the Court sitting in Equity and was acquired by (James) Moses McKenzie, Daniel’s youngest son. (19) It remained in the (James) Moses McKenzie branch of the family until approximately 1900 when it was sold to Daniel Annan and later became a dairy. Unfortunately, on approximately December 8, 1935 a fire destroyed the log cabin situated on the property that was constructed by Daniel McKenzie in the early 1800's. An article about the fire and the history surrounding the cabin appeared in the Cumberland Times on December 15, 1935. (20)

In 1819, Daniel McKenzie and his wife, Ann McKenzie, were the sponsors at the Baptism of William McKenzie, born February 15, 1818 to parents, Samuel McKenzie and Rachel Durbin. The Baptism was held at St. Ignatius, the Roman Catholic Church in the Mt. Savage area, West of Cumberland, Maryland. (21) According to material compiled by Col. Gabriel T. McKenzie, the first McKenzies to emigrate to America were Catholic and came from Scotland. Maryland was a perfect choice for their new home since following the passage of the Act of Toleration in 1649, Maryland eventually became known as being a safe haven for Catholics.

Daniel McKenzie died without a will in 1825. His estate was submitted for administration shortly thereafter. The administrator was his eldest son, William. The Inventory of the personal property of Daniel McKinzie was filed on 13 SEPT 1825. (22) The First Account reflects the names of the individuals who were owed money by Daniel at the time of his death. (23) The Second and Final Account reflects that the following individuals received money from the estate after the personal property was sold: Ann McKinsey, her one third (24) share totalling $29.17, and dividends of $8.33 were paid to Richard McKinsey, Samuel McKinsey, Daniel McKinsey, Aaron McKinsey, Moses McKinsey, William McKinsey and Mary Myers, wife of William Myers. (25) Interestingly, the shares were not precisely divisable. One share for $8.34 (one cent more) was given to the eldest son, William, who was serving as the administrator. Seven children were listed as having received dividends.

Daniel McKenzie died before 7 SEPT 1825. Both he and Mary Ann Chapman were buried in the cemetery of St. Michael’s Church. (26)

Endnotes

1. In the handwritten notes of Col. Gabriel T. McKenzie, U.S. Army, Retired, he states on a page relating to James Moses McKenzie “There is a family record filed with the estate and will of the above, James Moses McKenzie, in the Allegheny Courthouse in Cumberland, Maryland. Col. Gabriel T. McKenzie U.S. Army retired, great grandson of Moses filed said family record with Moses’ will but mistakenly said Daniel, father of Moses, was son of Daniel, instead of correctly stating Moses was son of Daniel, son of Gabriel, son of John of AA County.” (Ed. Note: This passage appears on page 221 of the notes of Gabriel T. McKenzie, U.S. Army Retired in Volume 3 of the author, Michael A. McKenzie’s genealogical source documents). (Ed. Note: James Moses was one of Daniel McKenzie’s sons, see supra).

2. The children of Daniel from this point through the end of the list were referenced in Equity Case #292, Allegany County Chancery Court records.

3. In the 1820 census Aaron McKenzie was listed as "Aron McKinsey". It's quite possible the census taker did not know how to spell.

4. In the Col. Gabriel T. MacKenzie genealogical research, a letter was written by J. F. Grant to Col. MacKenzie on December 13, 1929. In that letter J.F. Grant (who was born in 1854) recounts for Col. MacKenzie the names of the various sons of Daniel McKenzie (b. 1752). He starts by stating that the sons of Daniel (Ed. Note, b. 1752) were Aaron, Samuel, Richard, William, Moses (Ed.Note, actually James Moses) and Daniel, Jr.. He then lists the sons of each of the aforementioned individuals, as follows: “Aaron’s (our Aaron McKenzie b. 1792) sons were: Daniel, (Ed.Note This Daniel is in our family’s line. This Daniel is referred to as Daniel IV in Col. MacKenzie’s notes so as to distinguish him from other Daniels born during the preceding and succeeding generations) William, Silas (sic), Samuel and John Ephriam. Samuel’s sons were Henry, Grant, Aaron and Albert. Richard’s sons were William, Dennis and Levi. William’s sons were George, Edward, Taylor, Perry, Walter and John. Moses’ sons were Josiah, Thornton, Richard and Charles. Daniel, Jr. only had one son that I know of and his name was Henry.” The census records reflect that Aaron had two daughters. The author has not yet been able to determine their identity.

In addition to the foregoing letter, J.F. Grant wrote another letter to Col. McKenzie on October 7, 1929, wherein he states: (James) Moses McKenzie, your great-grandfather, was not the son of Moses the revolutionary soldier but was a son of Daniel McKenzie.”

10. Daniel McKenzie was taxed on his property in the early 1800's after the legislature passed the enabling legislation for the tax to be levied.
The legislature . . . passed an act appointing Andrew Bruce, Even Gywnn and Joseph Cresap a board of commissioners for Allegany County, and directed the commissioners of Washington County to transmit to them a list of all the real and personal properties in the new county. (1789).
The distance to Cumberland, the only voting place provided for in the Act constituting Allegany County, from Sideling Hill Creek on the east, and the Fairfax Stone on the west, was too great for the convenience of the people residing in those remote sections, and in 1799 the General Assembly passed an Act for laying Allegany County off into districts. The commissioners appointed were John B. Baell, David Hoffman, Thomas Stewart, William Shaw, George Robinette and Jesse Tomlinson, and the county was divided into six election districts, known as Glades, Selbyport, Westernport, Musselanes, Cumberland and Old Town.
The levy court was composed of the justices of the peace of the county. Those who signed the first levy made for Allegany County, 1791, were Daniel Cresap, Jr., Thomas Beall of Samuel, James Prather, Samuel Barritt and John Bayard, . . . the total amount of the levy was 286 pounds, 7 shillings, 7 pence. The rate of taxation was fixed at 7 shillings, 3 pence on every 100 pounds of property in the county . . . In 1804 the levy was 22 s. 11 pence per hundred pounds of property . . . It is also worthy of note that this was the last instance in which the old English money designation was used in the levy court of Allegany County. From that time on the new order of dollars and cents was followed. Thomas and Williams, History of Allegany County, V.1, page 3-8.

19. Deed from Thomas Perry, Trustee, to (James) Moses McKinsie dated December 4, 1851 recorded in Deed Book 6, page 580, Allegany County records. The property included land located in lot 3552, 3554 and 3569 in Allegany County. These lots "being the same lots described and mentioned in a Patent to Daniel McKinsey bearing date on the 14th day of November, 1795". It also included that tract or parcel of land known as Allegany Republican containing 45 acres described in a deed from Thomas Pollard to Daniel McKinsey.dated June 9, 1812.

20. The article read as follows:
Settler Log Home Prey to Flames
The above is a picture of the McKenzie log house on Winchester Road, near Annan Knolls, destroyed a week ago by fire. It is known that the building was erected before 1800 by Daniel McKenzie, a pioneer settler. The county land records show that the large tract now comprises the former Daniel Annan Farm was patented to McKenzie in 1795 by the State of Maryland.
McKenzie, it is thought, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and received military lots, as large tracts in the county were shown on the rough surveys. The farm was earlier known as the Moses McKenzie farm and comprised 435 acres from Cresaptown to the present Winchester railroad bridge. Moses McKenzie was a noted fox hunter and maintained a large pack of hunting dogs.
The land records show one part of the acreage termed as “Allegany Republican”, and two others, “Contest” and “Timberland”. Great stands of white pine and oak covered it. Josiah P. McKenzie, a grandson of Moses McKenzie, held title to the property until 1900 when the late Daniel Annan purchased it and improved the property and established a dairy. It was later laid out as a realty development.

Savage, MD, St. Mary, Cumberland, Maryland Parishioners, Marriages, Baptisms, and Deaths 1819-1844, (apparently self-published) at page 16. St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church (now St. Patrick’s) was the original Catholic Church in the Mt. Savage area, west of Cumberland, Maryland. The records of St. Ignatius were compiled by Phyllis Davidson and Richard T. Koch. Their task was made easier since the records were maintained in English and not Latin, as were the records of St. Luke’s. Mr. Gary E. Hindes of Wilmington, Delaware had hired a professional genealogist, Ms. Jane W. McWilliams (Annapolis, MD) to do research on his Logsdon ancestors. Material from the Maryland State Archives (MSA) that she sent Hindes identified the source as MSA M3461-St. Patrick Church, 201 North Centre Street, Cumberland, Maryland, but included only pages with Logsdon entries. Gary shared those pages with other Logsdon researchers, including Mr. Jim Logsdon of Columbus, Ohio who forwarded copies to Davidson and Koch. Subsequently, additional pages were obtained from the MSA to complete the first 50 pages, and some selected additional pages. The compilers advise in the forward that they have not exhausted the material at the MSA. They hoped that someday this particular manuscript would be expanded through 1863, when the cornerstone for the current church was laid and St. Ignatius was renamed St. Patrick (of Mt. Savage, MD).

The compliers drew partially drew from A Century of Growth, Volume 1, the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Western Maryland, a book by Rev. Thomas J. Stanton. A copy of this book allegedly is available in the Frostburg Branch of the Allegany County, MD library. The Family History Center (LDS) in Salt Lake City also has a copy of the book. According to the compilers, because St. Mary’s Church in Cumberland was served co-jointly with St. Ignatius in Mt. Savage, they could not separate the history of the two churches. A quote from the Stanton’s book appears in the introduction of the compilation, as follows: “St. Mary’s Church of Cumberland may truthfully be called the mother of all Churches of Allegany County. It is historically certain that Catholicity had an existence in Cumberland, although very shadowy at the beginning, as far back as the French and Indian War. . . . As far back as 1770, Joseph [Josiah] Frost must be added to the pioneer Catholics; and ten years later the Arnolds, the Porters and the Logsdons were dwelling at what became Arnold’s Settlement (later called Mt. Savage). . . . It was not until 1819 that the first resident pastor, Rev. James Redmond, was appointed to Cumberland. “ Various other pastors followed thereafter. Their initials appear next to many of the entries.

22. Inventories, Allegany County Probate Records, filed 13 SEPT 1825. The total value of his personal property came to $185.14. The appraisers were Joseph P. Hillsay and George Seass. The appraisal was conducted on 7 SEPT 1825. Items mentioned in the Inventory include: one auld (old) wagon, $25.00, one bee hive, $1.25, one brown mare, $12.00, 5 hoggs (sic), $11.00, 5 shoates, $5.00, one 2 year auld steer, $4.50, wheat in the straw supposed to be 25 bushels, $15.62, rye in the stack, $3.00, one acre of buckwheat, $1.00, one stack of hay, $4.50, one feather bead, beadsted and furniture, $10.00, one shot gunn and shot pouch, $6.00, etc.

23. Inventories, Estate Book No. 1, page 335, November 14, 1826, Allegany County, Maryland.

24. It was the law of the State of Maryland at the time of this distribution that the surviving wife receive one third of the estate.

25. Second and Final Return, Estate Book No. 1, page 343, Allegany County, Maryland, filed 13 MAR 1827.

26. In a letter from Col. Gabriel MacKenzie to Mrs. Richard M. White dated August 28, 1961 (contained on Col. MacKenzie microfilm), Col. MacKenzie states: "Joseph P. Grant, deceased 1931, said in 1929 when I started the family research that Daniel was buried in the old Catholic Church cemetery in Frostburg, in walking distance of Mt. Savage. I went to Frostburg in 1957 and was told by the priest that the old church with all records had been destroyed or lost; a new church had been erected and the old graveyard had been cleared away for a playground for the church parochial school children. I could learn nothing relative to Daniel’s grave.

Notes:

Josephine (Jody) Moeller, Saint Charles, Illinois (jmoeller@inil.com) has compiled much information on this important early Fayette County family.

Josephine's information substantially updates what was published in Fayette Facts, Vol. 3, No. 4, pages 62-63 (1974), taking the family back an additional two generations, and forward . . .

The McKenzie family came to Fayette County with the Ohio migration of LOGUE and DURBIN families. Josephine writes, "To me, the preponderance of the evidence suggests that our Gabriel (1758-1832) was the son of Gabriel McKenzie(1715 - 1793) and Sarah Durbin. The most telling evidence is the Maryland Tax List of 1783 which shows a second Gabriel as a bachelor, on a different page, from the rest of the family.

Additional information from Ann Stansbarger:

The best record for Gab'l Jr. is the 1783 Tax Assessment for Washington County, Maryland. This assessment is broken into two separate sections: Heads of Household and Bachelors. These sections are recorded on two separate pages of the list.

Heads of Household:
Gabriel
Daniel
Aaron
Samual

Bachelors:
Gabriel Jr.

More from Ann Stansbarger dated January, 2010:

Mike

I can't believe I'm still up and it is 2:30 in the am. I'm reading the documents on your website (ed. note website would be Michael McKenzie's Mckenzies of Early Maryland website - www.mckenziesofearlymaryland.com). I noticed something very interesting.

In your Sources section, under Gabriel McKenzie, you have a paragraph which describes two land transactions for the year 1792. In the first, Gabriel and his wife cleared up a problem with the release of her dower rights on 25 April 1792. You have a copy of this document in your media section. Gabriel and his wife both sign this document with their marks. In the second transaction, as described below, Gabriel sells his Lot 3365 to Peter Majors on 16 May 1792, which is less than one month later.......But this is not the same Gabriel.

If you look closely at your Media items 117, 118, and 119, this document clearly say "Gabriel Jr." His mark is also different than that of his father. Also, note there is no mention of Sarah in this document. This is Gabriel's son, the same Gabriel Jr. who was a bachelor in the 1783 tax assessment. Your Media items 120 and 121 from 1803, however, say simply "Gabriel." I believe Gabriel Senior died in that period of three weeks between 25 April and 16 May 1792.

Your paragraph says: "One of the last known land transactions involving Gabriel McKenzie occurred in connection with a patent he received for land west of Fort Cumberland on which he had settled. In November 2010, Michael McKenzie of Mt. Savage, Maryland provided the author with a copy of the patent issued by the State of Maryland to Gabriel McKenzie. According to Michael, the patent was difficult to locate because the property actually was patented to Peter Mayors (Majors) on May 23, 1803, although the patent itself reflects that the property was surveyed for Gabriel McKinsey..(18) Per the documents, Gabriel [this is Gabriel Jr. not Gabriel] appeared before the Honorable Andrew Bruce, one of the Justices of the Peace of Allegany County, Maryland on May 16, 1792 and conveyed the fifty acres of land comprising lot number 3365 to Peter Mayors (Majors). The lot was described as being in the “reserved land west of Fort Cumberland”. Then on May 17, 1803, another document signed by Thomas Harwood, Jr. acknowledged and swore that “Gabriel Mckinsey, a settler westward of Fort Cumberland paid the purchase money for lot 3365”. Yet another unsigned document associated with this entire group of documents states that “Gabriel McKinney settler on Lot 3365 assigned to Peter Mayors (Majors) Patent to Peter Majors the 23rd May 1803”. This last document is a little confusing in that it could be interpreted that Gabriel was still alive in 1803 and was once again acknowledging that he was assigning lot 3365 to Majors so that he could obtain his patent. Since it is assumed by researchers that Gabriel was born abt. 1715, he would have been 88 years old in 1803 if he was still alive and capable of assigning the property to Peter Majors."

I don't want to speculate on how it happened that Gabriel Jr. was able to sell his father's land. The legal ramifications of that are beyond me. But it appears that he did just that.

Also, I noticed that Media item 162 (Lot Map with Settler's Names, 1800) has an error in the lot numbers for Peter Majors and Gabriel McKenzie. The other Lot Maps are correct. I know that you didnt annotate this particular map, but I thought you might want to know because it has the settler's names on it. Lot 3365 is the verticle triangle. The upside down triangle to the left of it, marked "Peter Majors Lot 3365," should say "Lot 3376." Since this map is dated 1800, I'm assuming Peter Major's name should be on Lot 3365, in lieu of Gabriel McKenzie's name.

I think these deeds combined with the tax rolls conclusively prove that gabriel, Jr. was the son of Gabriel (b. 1715)

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

**********

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.

The following email was compiled by Dick MacKenzie in July, 2014 in his continuing attempt to try to determine the parental connection, if possible, for Isreal McKenzie and Hiram McKenzie, two names which appear in the late 1700's and early 1800's in the Baltimore, Maryland area.

I’ll try to lay this all out and maybe someone can connect dots, although I fear that the lack of good, solid record information may preclude anything definite.

We know that Daniel Jr. was in Anne Arundel Co. in January 1790, when the children of Daniel Sr. were involved in the court case in Frederick Co., Jr. and wife Ann having disposed of their land holdings in Frederick Co. prior to that date. However, Jr. never appears in a census there. In fact, the only person who does in 1790 is John “McKinsey” with 2 males under 16, 2 over 16, and 3 females. Of course, the bottom left portion of the AA Co. census pages are either missing or illegible, so there might have been other McKinseys shown that we can’t see. We also know, from the patent on “MacKinzie’s Angle” in September 1807 that Mary “Molly” MacKinzie, widow of Daniel Sr. was still alive at that point and apparently living in AA Co. On 27 Nov 1811 in AA Co., John McKinsey of Daniel has surveyed “McKinsey’s Manor” for 2 roods, 16 perches of land adjoining “Batchelors’ Choice” and “Carter’s Addition” (meaning that it was in the exact same area as the original MacKenzie family land holdings), and, although a warrant was granted to John of Daniel on 12 Feb 1812, just a month later, on 18 Mar 1812, John B. Dorsey has the same land resurveyed as “McKinsey’s Manor Neglected” and has it patented on 15 Dec 1813. Does that mean that John was a son of Daniel Jr.? I suspect so, but may never be able to prove it. In any event, it appears this John had up to 5 children, and would have been born in the 1760’s or 1770’s.

Move forward to 1800, and we have 4 McKinsey families shown in AA Co.:

Michael – I male under 10, four 16-25, one 45+; 1 female under 10, one 16-25, one 45+ (pg. 589)
William – 2 males under 10, one 26-45; 1 female under 10, one 45+ (pg. 588)
Daniel – 1 male 26-45; 2 females under 10, one 16-25 (pg. 588)
William – 1 male under 10, one 10-15, one 45+; 1 female under 10, two 10-15, one 45+ (pg. 587)

Then in 1810 as Mackinsey (indexed in Ancestry as Mackinney):

Michael – one male 16-25, one 45+; 1 female 45+
Aaron – 3 males under 10, two 10-15, one 45+; 2 females under 10, one 10-15, one 45+

These two families are next door to each other, and we know for sure that Aaron is Daniel Sr.’s youngest son, now living on Daniel’s portion (96 acres) inherited from his father John (and his mother apparently deceased), and it is equally assured that Michael is living on the other inherited land there (98 acres), with the only question being whether this is Michael of John (b. @ 1730) or a son by the same name. Then 16 lines later, the two following Mackinsey families:

Daniel –2 males under 10, one 17-26, one 45+; 1 female 17-26, one 17-45.
Orphelia – 1 male under 10, one 10-15; 2 females under 10, one 26-44.

The ages of Daniel’s children don’t match the 1800 Census ages. I do think Orphelia is the Orpha who appears again in 1830 -1860, and no I can’t locate her in 1820, but I have no idea who she might have been married to (if anyone?) and how she kept accumulating children. Orpha was also the name of one of Daniel Sr.’s daughters, so there was a penchant for the name in the family. Maybe she never married, just had children – that would be a DNA nightmare!

There are lots of marriages of male and female McKenzies from the 1790’s through the 1830’s, most of which I have no clue who they belonged to. And yes, the McKenzies were mixed up with Joneses since the beginning of time – Mary, daughter of Daniel Sr. married William Jones, my g-g grandfather David married a Jones and my grandfather married a Jones.

By 1820, Aaron is still in AA Co., now next to Catherine McKinzie, I guess the widow of Michael. Daniel is now in Dist. 1 Baltimore Co., at the bottom of the page that begins with 129 people listed under the identification “Union Cotton Manufactory” which we know is the mill in Oella. It includes people of all ages, so maybe Orpha and her brood are enumerated there if she by chance worked there. In 1830, AA Co. has the 2 Aaron McKinseys side by side, the second one my g-g-g grandfather, and the first one the Aaron who sells Michael’s land to my g-g grandfather David in 1840. The only other person shown in that household is a male 90-100?? There is another McKinsey enumerated in AA Co. in 1830, a Michael, 50-60, in Dist. 4 (different than the others), with “no permanent residence.”

So, does Hiram fit in here somewhere? Most assuredly, as do Israel and lots of others, but for the life of me, I can’t say who’s on first! And that has been and still is my dilemma.

Will of Aaron McKenzie (b. 1769)

Anne Arundel Co., MD Will Book 40, p.106

The will of Aaron McKenzie, dated 13 Mar 1828 and probated 23 May 1831, states the following: First: giving my part of land in Anne Arundel Co., called "Hopkins Choice" to my two sons, David and Aaron. Then, I give to my two sons David and Aaron, another tract of land known as "Addition to Hopkins Choice." Second I desire that a tract "McKenzie's Pleasure," lying between "Maidens Bower" and "Carters Whim" be sold and the money applied to payment of my debts. I desire that six acres of land belonging to me lying between "Carters Whim" and "Carters Addition," be sold with the money going to my estate, and the remining part of "McKenzies Pleasure" I give to my two sons David and Aaron. I give to my wife Rachel McKenzie one cow of her choice. I give to my oldest son Caleb McKenzie*, my son Jesse McKenzie, my daughter Catherine Hyatt, my daughter Mary Pierce*, and my daughter Rachel Pearce* the sum of one dollar each, and all the balance of my estate to my two sons David and Aaron McKenzie.

I have underlined "my part" to suggest the possibility that Aaron shared a larger tract of the same name with his brother or brothers.

*Please note that Mary and Rachel married a Pierce/Pearce and that my 3rd. great grandfather Caleb married Elizabeth Pierce. I would suggest that this Caleb is the correct son of Aaron and is not the Caleb who married Margaret Magers and settled in Ohio as other researchers have stated.

Aaron married Mary Rachel Earp on 11 Mar 1789 in Baltimore County, Maryland. Mary (daughter of Joseph II Earp and Elizabeth Something) was born about 1764 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland; died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The followig information was sent to the author in Augsut, 2018 by Phil Brode. As one will see after reviewing the information, the location of the grave of Nancy Ann Porter is in dispute. Michael A. McKenzie August 27, 2018

The Nancy Ann (McKenzie) Porter burial site has "wandered" a bit over the years for the 'assignment' in my records. For years I just assumed it was in a now unmarked grave at Porter Cemetery at Rose Meadow. Seemed reasonable when we thought the old story about John Porter's pioneer movements from Wellersburg Pa, to Mount Savage MD to ultimately getting Rose Meadow as Revolutionary War service payment, occurred much earlier than her death. Why not? (And, not unexpected that her marker would be 'lost' considering she died earlier than John & his marker is so small & primitive as well.)

But then two things challenged this idea and sent me on a search. Thanks to the superman abilities with deed searching by Scott et. al. of the Williams clan, we learned that the two 50 acre plots that were Rose Meadow proper, were not originally owned by John Porter as per the old story of his selection, BUT were purchased by John Porter from John Matthews in the mid to late 1790's. My wobbly records for Nancy Ann's death include dates of 1786 or 1788 or 1789 depending on the source, all before John bought and settled Rose Meadow. In addition, for some time, Find-A-Grave had her place of burial as Allegany County Cemetery, Cumberland MD. While visiting western Maryland one time, my mother & I took off to find this site. We found a well kept cemetery, with very few marked graves, but many many graves without markers; only to learn that this was the Potter's/Pauper's cemetery, hence unmarked graves. Suddenly this seemed to be a dead-end; no pun was intended or noticed until I typed those words. Why would someone as well off as John Porter be burying his wife there? And, why there instead of close to one of his western Maryland residences at the time of her death. I won't believe that source, until supported with cemetery records if they exist. So, she's most likely not at PC@RM if the deed records & her death dates are correct, but where is she?

The following information was sent to the writer, Michael A. Mckenzie by Scott Carter Williams in August, 2018:

All,

We have always been dependent on Samuel Doak Porters' (SDP) book for information about Nancy McKenzie (b. 1746, m 1767, d. no given). Phil Brode believes that her passing was in either 1786, 88, or 89. I am hopeful that the Colonel Gabriel T. MacKenzie’s microfilm will yield something more like source material. We know from SDP's book that he and the Colonel corresponded and the notes that I have seen so far support that. Attached is some of the Colonel’s notes regarding Nancy and John Porter Jr, plus a published page that he references in his notes regarding Gabriel McKenzie's early presence in Western Maryland - perhaps predating the end of the French and Indian War (1763). We see elsewhere that Gabriel is selling land on Pipe Creek, and this may (or may not) indicate a move in the making.

I am also attaching a resource written by SDP on the history of the Sloan family. The Sloans and the Percys were Scottish families who immigrated to WM in the 1830s and assisted the Porters in making the coal mines on Federal Hill (Rose Meadow) viable. The families soon intermarried (see a pattern?? :).

The hand written notes by the Colonel in the first attachment are from an informant named "Ann Sloan" who is referenced in the second document as a granddaughter of John M. Porter (Squire Jack). This makes her the grand-grand daughter of John Porter Jr. (b. 1737). The reason that I share this article is this quote from SDP:

"Several of his (John Porter Jr's) and Nancy's brothers came with him to Allegany County and settled near him."

Gabriel and sons may have been settled west of Fort Cumberland as early as the 1750s or 60s according the Century of Growth book. We know from Bedford Co Census documents that both John Porter and Gabriel McKenzie (and sons) were there just before the war broke out. We also know that the identified sons of Moses Sr (Moses Jr, Joshua, and Jessie) enlisted and served in Frederick County during the war (not near Fort Cumberland). Therefore, if Nancy came west with John Porter and her brothers at the same time (pre-war) it would follow that "Nancy's brothers" may have been Gabriel's sons, not Moses Sr's. The theory, however, could be negated if Moses Sr had older sons (closer to Nancy's age) that moved at the same time as Gabriel.

We have much to learn, and I am hopeful that the Colonel’ss notes will bear more fruit for us.

Best Regards,

Scott Williams

The writer, Michael A. Mckenzie responded to Scott with the following email. This information is being placed here so that current and future researchers will know and understand the thought processes that played out w/r/t to the topic of just whom was Nancy Ann McKenzie's father.

Here is the reply email:

Hi All:

So many emails, so much to think about.

I am still going through emails from the past few days and reflecting on what was written.

Scott stated below: "Several of his (John Porter Jr's) and Nancy's brothers came with him to Allegany County and settled near him."

Gabriel and sons may have been settled west of Fort Cumberland as early as the 1750s or 60s according the Century of Growth book. We know from Bedford Co Census documents that both John Porter and Gabriel (and sons) were there just before the war broke out. We also know that the identified sons of Moses Sr (Moses Jr, Joshua, and Jessie) enlisted and served in Frederick County during the war (not near Fort Cumberland). Therefore, if Nancy came west with John Porter and her brothers at the same time (pre-war) it would follow that "Nancy's brothers" may have been Gabriel's sons, not Moses Sr's. The theory, however, could be negated if Moses Sr had older sons (closer to Nancy's age) that moved at the same time as Gabriel.

I would like to explore this for a minute because I think Scott may have hit upon something that would cause me to put Nancy Ann McKenzie as the daughter of Gabriel and not Moses, Sr.

Here is my thinking: If SDP is correct and Nancy’s brothers travelled west with them, the ages of the respective brothers make me lean towards them being the sons of Gabriel.

Let’s pick a date, say 1772. Gabriel’s son’s, Samuel and Daniel, would be 21 and 20 respectively.

Picking the same date, 1772, Moses Sr.’s sons would be 12, 10 and 8.

If one is travelling west with their brothers, I tend to lean to the older brothers and not a group of youngsters aged 8-12. Also, men in their 20’s would be “settling near her”, whereas youngsters aged 8-12 would need to be taken care of by others. When we couple this analysis with Racheal (Rachill) McKenzie placing Joshua in indentureship in 1768, it seems to support the hypothesis that Nancy was the daughter of Gabriel and not of Moses, Sr.

Just food for thought as we continue our quest.

Thoughts anyone?

Regards

Mike McKenzie

And, just to make certain we were well grounded, Ann Stansbarger wrote in response:

Hi All,

I recommend caution when it comes to Nancy Ann and here is why. We have to think about what was happening with the two brothers, Gabriel McKenzie and Moses McKenzie Sr. Gabriel began selling his properties one by one in Frederick Co at about the time of the end of the French and Indian War (1763). He had plans to move his family to western MD, which we know he ultimately did. His brother Moses, according to legend, sold his farm and was robbed and killed on the road. This would have been sometime after Joshua was conceived 1763-64 and before Joshua went into indenture, 1768 — exactly the same time Gabriel was getting ready for his move.

When Moses Sr was killed his family was thrown into turmoil. Rachel pleaded for her widow’s share of Moses’ inheritance. She said in the petition she had small children to take care of and had no money. Any older children of Moses, if there had been any, must have had to find their own way.

Were there older children? There had to have been. I don’t have the reference handy but I know it is on the MOEM site. There was “old John” McKenzie who died in Allegany Co in the mid 1790s. His estate was administered by Moses McKenzie Jr. Old John could not have been a son of Gab’l because Gab’l already had a son John. This Old John was in all likelihood a brother of Moses Jr (b1760). Since he was “old” in the mid 1790s, that says he was probably born in the mid 1740’s - about the time of Nancy Ann’s birth.

After Moses Sr died I think there was work for the older children of Moses with their uncle Gabriel. He would have needed help to clear land on his new farm in western MD, and he would have needed help farming his old lands left behind in Frederick Co, until they were eventually all sold off.

Nancy Ann, if she was a daughter of Moses, would have gotten married as soon as possible after her father’s death.

Sorry it isn’t more concrete.

Best, Ann

Then Nathan Williams added:

Ann and all,

Very important facts to keep in mind concerning Moses and family structure. I have a few points of concern over Moses Sr. being daddy based on what we know, and don't know.

- Moses' wife was said to be a Porter, daughter of John Porter, emigrant. Like other myths, we can't confirm or refute it but if true, it would mean Nancy Ann McKenzie was the niece of her husband, John Porter of Bedford/Allegany. People married close relatives, we have our share, but marrying a niece would seem strange.

- As researchers, we struggle mightly with the reality we can't place ANY of our known Porters in Maryland before they show up in Bedford, PA. Their PA record is the first confirmed appearance of John and Moses Porter. Henry is in Maryland for the 1776 loyalty oath. I will let my Uncle Scott answer Allan specifically about John Porter, emigrant, but to be honest, he is a ghost. We have no records in the US to show he existed. Our paper trail starts with his alleged sons John, Moses, and Henry Porter on the frontier.

I think that is why Moses causes us some problems. We can't really place any Porters down near the McKenzies in downstate Maryland, despite the oral stories that they were multi-generational connections between them. We are more in our comfort zone with Gabe, since he was a known neighbor, and the relationship could have started in PA, not downstate Maryland.

Now, none of that means Nancy couldn't have been living with Gabe on the frontier, or that the Porter brothers did live near Hobson's Choice, but left no records. The lack of hard dates matter too. For instance, MOEM, speculates the Porter-McKenzie marriage took place before Moses Sr's death on the road. Although, I think all those dates are estimates.

Nathan

And, to stir the pot one more time, Scott Williams added:

Ann,

As you can imagine, the "ick" factor of niece/uncle thing has probably been of more concern to our side of the tree than yours *smile*, but I have an (almost) elegant solution that solves several problems at once:

•Moses Sr has a first marriage (to a non-Porter :)) that produces Nancy McKenzie and *some* older brothers
•Moses Sr has a later marriage to a Porter (Nancy Jane Rachel?) that produces the younger brothers (Moses Jr, Jessie, and Joshua)

Problem solved - and all very speculative. BUT I have noted that something changed Col. GT Mack's mind from Gabe to Moses Sr as the father of Nancy during the course of his research - so (again) time for us (the ATL gang) to better review the Col's material and get it into a format where it can be useful in research.

What you have shown, however, in these first emails is your perception of a family in crisis due to the death of a father and documented responses to duress. So if the speculation above is accurate, and we have documented Porters (Philip and maybe an older Nancy) in proximity to the Moses Sr family in about 1768 acting as part of the solution, we have really moved the ball.

I ask one question - does Team McKenzie know the origin of the Moses Sr murder story, or have an "earliest source" record of it? In my newspaper searches I found a plaintive request from a reader to the weekly column of legendary Cumberland Md columnist J. William Hunt in the 1950s seeking information on the incident. The reader's name was included and if that adds some value, I could try to find the original item and share it with you. Mr. Hunt requested that responses go directly to the reader, and not to the newspaper - ARGH!

Beyond that, I am going to leave the topic for awhile, having sufficiently stirred the pot for now :)

Scott

On September 17, 2018 the writer, Michael A. McKenzie wrote to the Porter/McKenzie Research Group and asked if anyone was aware of any primary source documents concerning Nancy McKenzie Porter. The reply later that day from Alan Williams was as follows:

My short answer is that I am not (aware of any primary source documents). One thing that’s certain is that it’s in the naming of her children that we encounter the name confusion as we had last night. Assuming Nancy to be a McKenzie (a very safe bet, I think) she names children after her husband, her father, and her uncle. No Jessies or Joshua’s though. One of the results is that Porters and McKenzie’s are shot through for generations with Gabriel, Moses, Michael and Samuels.

Porters have no first name ‘Bennett’, Rachel and Harriet (as well as Eleanor and Mary and Sarah) are popular for girls.

Both Moses and John Porter also favored Samuel in their boys, and Moses line later introduces ‘Scott’ as a frequent middle name and well as Ellis. Scott appears at a time that it may reference General Winfield Scott, the Military hero (1812 through the Mexican War) and 1852 Presidential candidate.


Needless to say, the writer concludes after these great exchanges, that something "more" will need to be located/discovered before the answer to the question posed will be known once and for all. Was Nancy the daughter of Moses (b. abt. 1720) or was she the daughter of Gabriel (b. abt. 1715)? That remains the question. Michael A. McKenzie, September 18, 2018

Nancy married John Thomas Jr. Porter in 1767 in Carroll County, Maryland. John (son of John Porter and Eleanor Durier) was born in 1737 in Carrollton, Carroll County, Maryland; died in 1810 in Allegany County, Maryland; was buried in 1810 in Eckhart Mines, Allegany, Maryland.

Notes:

From the research of Ray Leidinger of Cumberland, Maryland:

Sarah Ann McKenzie and Moses McKenzie, Jr. were married in Hampshire County, Virginia. Moses McKenzie, Jr. was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.

From the notes of Philip Dietz, Jr. comes the following:

Moses started as a drummer boy in Revolutionary War at age 18. He enlisted at Frederick Town and was discharged at Annapolis. He served in the Battle of White Plains 1776, the battle of Monmouth, and the siege of Yorktown. he was a member of the Maryland Line.

From research conducted by Michael A. McKenzie in the Maryland Section of the Genealogical Section of the Atlanta Public Library on February 19, 1997, the following information was obtained:

According to the Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution (Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900), Moses served as a drummer in Lt. Col. Ludwig Weltner's German Battalion. He received a Federal Land Warrant on April 8, 1793 for 100 acres of land (that being Federal Warrant Number 11, 514) for his service in the Revolutionary War. Source: Revolutionary Records, Harry Wright Newman, Genealogical Publishing Company (1993)


According to the Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution (Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900), he was a new recruit on September 5, 1778 at White Plains. Another record shows the "date he was passed" that being April 28, 1778. All of the records also reflect that his brother, Joshua McKenzie was also in the same battalion and also served as a drummer boy. The same Muster Rolls also show that Moses was paid for his service for the months of July, August, September and October, 1779. The records further reflect that Moses and Joshua also served in Lt. Col. Weltner's battalion from 1 August 1780 until 15 November 1783. During that period of time the records reflect that they served as Privates.

From the notes of Philip Dietz, Jr. comes the following:

Moses also served in the "War with England - 1814", as a drummer in Capt. Blair's Company with Thomas Clinton, a fifer. Moses and Thomas had also served in the Revolutionary War. They lived in the Cumberland area, and on all public demonstrations were accustomed to come out on the street and play the fife and drum.

From research conducted by Michael A. McKenzie in the Maryland Section of the Genealogical Section of the Atlanta Public Library on February 19, 1997, the following information was obtained:

Contained in Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County and Church from Original Sources by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh, M.S., M.D., Volume II, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1985, the following appears:

"McKinsey (sic), Moses. Passed Dec. session, 1815--No.23. Treas. Western Shore pay to Moses McKinsey, of Allegany County, -a sum of money, annually during life, quarterly, equal to half pay of a drummer in the rev. war."

"McKinsey, Moses. Passed Mch. 9, 1827--No. 44. Treas. pay to Sarah McKinsey, of Allegany County, during life, half yearly, half pay of a private, for her husband, Moses McKinsey's services during the Rev. War."

In April, 1818, Moses McKenzie, a resident of Allegany County, State of Maryland, applied for a pension by right of his services during the American Revolution. (10) He swore before the Circuit Court of that county that he was aged 58 years, and had enlisted at Frederick Town, Maryland in the German Regiment as a drummer boy - date of enlistment not given. He was assigned to the company of Captain Baltzell, and participated in the Battles of Monmouth and Yorktown.

In 1820 he had in his immediate household who were dependent on him for support a wife aged 56 years, a daughter aged 16 years, a son aged 18 years and two grandsons aged 7.

His pension ultimately was approved but he died on March 3, 1824.

In October, 1841, his widow, Sarah McKenzie, of Cresaptown, Maryland, aged 76 years, applied for a widow’s pension by rights of her deceased husband’s service in the Revolutionary War.

She the said Sarah McKenzie swore that she married Moses McKenzie sometime in the month of December, 1784.

John Durbin of Knox County, Ohio, made an affidavit that he was present at the wedding which took place at the residence of Jacob Slagle in Hampshire County, Virginia, and that the ceremony was performed by a Catholic priest.

Lucy McVicker, of Allegany County, Maryland, aged 69, submitted an affidavit stating that she was present at the marriage of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie, the latter also being named McKenzie.

The claim of the widow, Sarah McKenzie, likewise was approved by the Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C. (11)



Children of Moses McKenzie and Sarah McKenzie are:
  i.   Janes McKenzie.
ii.   Racheal McKenzie.
iii.   Joshua McKenzie, born Abt 1783 in Maryland; died Abt 1870 in Allegany Co.; married Elizabeth Winters May 17, 1814.
iv.   Moses McKenzie III, born Abt 1790.
v.   Jesse McKenzie, born 1792 in Allegany Co.; died 1863; married Catherine Winters.

In 1848 a Complaint was filed in the Court of Equity of Allegany County, Maryland by the brothers and sisters of Moses McKenzie, Jr., son of Moses McKenzie (b. 1760), requesting that a parcel of land (known as the “Western Road”) left by Moses, Jr. when he died intestate be equitably partitioned. This was the same parcel of land that was conveyed to Moses McKenzie (Moses McKenzie Jr.’s father) by Daniel Shriver, Jr. on September 13, 1812 and otherwise referred to in that deed as the “Western Road” property. The case lists all of Moses, Jr.’s brothers and sisters and their spouses and siblings where applicable. Jesse McKenzie is listed in the Complaint and received a share of the proceeds when the land was sold.

In addition:

Taken from The Heritage Press, Vol. 1, No. 9-issue of July, 1872: pa
Their Country's Call
"Among the Civilian Soldiers who first took up arms in the time of
emergency was a group of local volunteers who responded to the call of
the Continental Congress on 7/14/1775. Along with Capt. Michael Cresap,
1st Lt. Joseph Warren and 2nd Lt. Richard Davis, the volunteers from
this area painted themselves to look like Indians and answered the call.
They marched the 551 miles to Boston, Ma. in just 21 days, where they
reported to General George Washington. The march began 7/18/1775 and
ended 8/9/1775. The enlisted men who fought brilliantly under their
able leaders included such men as Thomas Clinton, their fifer, ...Other
volunteers included Moses McKenzie, William Roberts, William Davis, John
Comp, William Taylor, George King, Daniel Recknor and James Byron.
These men, as part of THE MARYLAND LINE, which gave the State its
nickname, 'Old Line State', fought in the battle of Long Island in 1776.
They were mustered out in 1783...."

From Ann Stansbarger March, 2011:

After the RW, Moses (b 1760) evidently came back to his father’s land in AA Co. He was ‘Moses of Moses, planter of AA Co.’ in 1783 when he sold 96 acres of McKinzie’s Discovery to James Cord.

He evidently went to Allegany Co sometime after selling the AA land. He is found listed in Deakin’s Survey of 1787 as Moses McKinsy, Lot 3416. These folks supposedly were settlers Deakins found living on the land in 1787. If so, I don’t know where Moses was hiding between 1787 and 1797 because I don’t see him on any of the tax lists in Bobbie’s email.

He was definitely in Allegany Co in 1792, however, when he served as Administrator for John’s estate.

My Father Ambrose R. McKenzie told Me,Joseph E.McKenzie,this story in
July 1995. We were standing on Wills Creek AVE. in Cumberland,Maryland. Dad
was looking down into the little creek just about 100 feet up from 307 Wills
Creek AVE, Walter and Catherine McKenzie built this house in 1923,Dad told Me
that His Father,Walter,was somewere in this area when He fell down the bank
and injured Himself. Walter was ill from that day until He died. Dad said
Walter died from LIVER problems and He always thought that it was because of
that fall by the creek.
From Leo Mckenzie, Son of Walter Mckenzie. Leo's recollection of the
incident is "He Jumped across the stream with armfull of cucumbers".
Walter E. McKenzie never drank whiskey in his life but made His living
working in the distillery business.My Father told Me that Walter knew
everything about distilling whiskey.
On the same day Dad told Me about the little house just up the street
305 Wills Creek Ave. from 307 Wills Creek AVE. on the other side. Dad said
that during the Civil War it was a Mess hall and the Soldiers that were
training at Campabella, this is Latin for "Camp of war" would eat at this
house,log cabin at that time. Allegany High School now stands on Campabella,
the School's nickname is the campers.
From Leo Mckenzie, Son of Walter Mckenzie. Leo said "The mess hall was
really the home of "Miss Miller's parents who sold pastry to soldiers when
they were training,Shooting 58 Caliber rifles. The trench they laid in to fire
their rifles was filled in to extend Allegany High around 1980"


I am looking for more stories about Walter and Catherine McKenzie.

Moses married Sarah Ann McKenzie in Dec 1784 in Hampshire County, Virginia. Sarah (daughter of Gabriel McKenzie and Sarah Durbin) was born about 1765; died on 15 Apr 1845 in Cresaptown, Allegany County, Maryland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On July 8, 1818, as a resident of Know County, State of Indiana, Jesse McKinzey (sic) personally appeared before the Circuit Court of that county and made certain depositions of his service in the Revolutionary War in order to qualify for a pension under the Congressional Act of 1818.

The said Jesse McKinzey swore that early in the spring of 1780 he enlisted for three years at Frederick Town, Maryland in the company of Captain Michael Boyer of Colonel Weltner's Regiment. His outfit marched to Baltimore and there he was transferred to the company of Captain Hamilton, having marched to Baltimore under a captain Williams. From Baltimore his outfit marched to Annapolis where he was placed in the company of Captain Truman.

He participated in the siege of York under Baron de Steuben, afterwards he was transferred to Captain Price's company in the Maryland Regiment of Colonel Stewart. He participated in the South Carolina campaign where the Maryland troops suffered great casualties. He was stationed at one time at Ashley's Bridge in South Carolina.

In 1783 at Frederick Town, Maryland, he received his discharge from Captain Catrell who was in command of that place. He furthermore stated that he was 56 years of age, and that his formal discharge had long since been lost.

He died testate at Vincennes, Indiana on November 3, 1818. His last will and testament bequeathed his entire estate to his wife, Catherine McKenzie.

On October 15, 1838, Catherine McKinsey (sic), aged 80 years, the widow of Jesse McKinsey, a late soldier of the Revolutionary War, applied for a widow's pension before the court of Ross County, Ohio.

She stated under oath that her husband died at Vincennes, Indiana on November 3, 1818, where they had lived, and that they were married in Allegany County, on January 22, 1784.

She furthermore swore that three children were born to her and her husband - John McKinsey, December 9, 1788, deceased by 1838; Bennett McKinzey, born January 5, 1791, deceased by 1838; and Eleanor, born April 10, 1793, then alive. Her first son John McKinzey, was an officer in the "late war" and afterwards went to South America and had "never been heard of".

John McKenzie of Ross County, Ohio, stated in April 1839, that he well knew Jesse McKinsey and his wife, Catherine, when they were living near Cumberland, Maryland, as man and wife, as early as 1792.

Correspondence with the Commissioner of Pensions show that the widow was living as late as 1848.

On April 8 1796. the veteran Jesse McKinzey, had been issued a bounty-land warrant for 100 acres as a late soldier of the Continental or Maryland State Line. Ref: BL Wt 11512-100.

The claim was approved for the widow.

Ref: Revolutionary Pension Claims, W 7432, National Archives, Washington.


- collected May 10, 1796; one male, one female

Jesse married Catherine Jones on 22 Jan 1784 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Catherine was born in 1758; died after 1848 in Ross County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joshua McKenzie is buried in the Lower Twin Road Cemetery in Levin Township, Ross County, Ohio. He was a Revolutionary War veteran and served as a drummer in Lt. Col. Ludwig Weltner's German Battalion for approximately three years. He received a Federal Warrant for 100 acres of land on January 15, 1793 (that being Federal Warrant Number 11, 513) for his service in the Revolutionary War. Source: Revolutionary Records, Harry Wright Newman, Genealogical Publishing Company (1993)

According to the Muster Rolls of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution (Baltimore Maryland Historical Society 1900), he was a new recruit on September 5, 1778 at White Plains. Another record shows the "date he was passed" that being April 28, 1778. All of the records also reflect that his brother, Moses McKenzie was also in the same battalion and also served as a drummer boy. The same Muster Rolls also show that Joshua was paid for his service for the months of July, August, September and October, 1779. The records further reflect that Joshua and Moses also served in Lt. Col. Weltner's battalion from 1 August 1780 until 15 November 1783. During that period of time the records reflect that they served as Privates.

Notes:

There are records in the Allegany County, Maryland Probate Office that pertain to John McKinsey, an old man. The inventory of his estate was signed by Daniel Mckenzie and Moses McKenzie. The authos/webmaster, Michael A. cKenzie suspects that the Daniel Mckenze listed is that of Daniel Mckenzie (b. abt. 1752) husband of Mary Chapman. The Moses McKenzie most likely is the RW Moses (b. abt. 1760). It has never been clear as to whom to tie this old man, John to. The following is an excerpt fro the McKenzies of Early Maryland outlinng the conundrum.


John McKenzie (b. unk)

Per the research of Bobbie McKenzie, a John McKenzie died circa 1792 in Allegany County, Maryland. Moses, Daniel and Gabriel signed a bond as administrators on March 12, 1792. The bond says John was very old and very poor. His inventory shows it. Adm Accounts Allegany County. The following entry appears on 22 March 1792 “John McKinsy, estate appraisers: Daniel McKenzie & Moses McKenzie, Wm Shaw, Evan Gwynne”. On 11 Oct 1796 John McKinsy estate. Moses McKensy, adm. Accounts paid to Robert Sinclair & I King, John Willuts, Daniel McKinsey, Evan Gwynne, Ezekial Whiteman . According to Bobbie, this “Moses” is most likely Moses RW (b. 1760), son of Moses (b. abt. 1720) of John. There are no other Generation 3 Moses old enough to have served in this capacity. Gabriel is probably the Uncle of John and Moses, and was the Gabriel (b. abt. 1715), son of John McKenzie (b. 1687). It is believed that Gabriel died in 1793, which explains why no further records exist showing his involvement in the handling of the estate. Daniel is probably cousin to John and Moses, son of their Uncle Gabriel, and the Daniel who was born abt. 1752, who married Mary Ann Chapman.
This John McKenzie (d. 1792) is probably one of the first born of Moses 1720. Taking into consideration the Scottish naming pattern, surely Moses would have had a son John. He is considered by the county recorder as being "old." If he were born 1740-45, he would be ca 50, a healthy life span in the 1790s. According to a 1790 study done in Philadelphia in 1790, life expectancy in 1790 for the US population was 34.5 years for males and 36.5 years for females. No information has been located indicating that he ever married or had children.

Captain John McKenzie -later Colonel

John McKenzie was a Revolutionary War soldier born in Albemarle County, Virginia
September 17, 1757. He was residing in Halifax County, Virginia in 1776 when he volunteered
for army service. In his six-page declaration made in Carroll County Court (Tennessee) in
1831-32 in applying for a pension, he gave many details of his service in the southern
campaigns of the war in Virginia and the Carolinas. This declaration is in the National
Archives in Washington and a copy is in the library of the Carroll County Historical Society
in McKenzie Tennessee. His declaration mentions many actions and battles in which he took
part in the Carolinas and also states that he was acquainted with some of the well-known off
icers of the American army, including General Nathaniel Greene to whom he serviced as Aide
in the battle of Guilford Court House, North Carolina, in March 1781. John McKenzie stated
that he was given a commission as Captain by General Sumter in 1778 or 1779 and was known in
the army as "The Big Virginia Captain." The pension records show that in 1777 or 1778 he
was Captain in Colonel Thomas Sumter's South Carolina Regiment and was also Contractor for
Salisbury District under General Davidson. He was Captain of Light Dragoons in Colonel
William Hill's South Carolina Regiment and Captain in Colonel Maledy's North Carolina
Regiment and was in the battles of Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock, Camden (South Carolina),
Rugley's Mills, Ironworks, Torrence's Tavern, Guilford courthouse, New Market, Boattie's
Ford, and Orangeburg, and was discharged in 1782. In his declaration John McKenzie stated
that from 1791 to 1795 he was engaged in building forts for the defense of the country
against the raids of the Creek Indians and in 1792 was in command of the fort at Rock
Landing, Georgia. He was surely a hardy and courageous man and by his own description a
"big" man. There is a record that when some blacks were captured by Indians, John went to
the Indian's camp, confronted the chief, and demanded that the men be handed over to him,
but they had already been transported away.

After the war John McKenzie settled in the State of Georgia near the present town of
Sparta, where he became a member of the General Assembly, a member of the Commission on
Peace and Judge of County Court. He was commissioned a colonel in the militia and was there
after known as Colonel McKenzie. From a declaration made by his wife, Martha (Patsy) Bonner
McKenzie, we learn that she and John married in Washington County, Georgia December 20, 1792
She was 17 and he was 35. The census records show that she too was born in Virginia
(January 8, 1775, thus she was only one year old when John joined the army.) In 1816 or
1817 they moved from Maury County, Tennessee and in about 1828 they moved to Carroll County, Tennessee. In his declaration John McKenzie stated that while he was in the army he met Benjamin
Gilbert who was also a soldier. After the war Benjamin Gilbert married John's sister Emily
McKenzie in Virginia and the Gilberts settled in the same area in Georgia as the McKenzie's.
Later both families resettled in Carroll County, Tennessee, the Gilberts arriving first, in
the early 1820's.

Fifty years after the war, in 1832, John McKenzie then 75 years old, applied for a pension
and Benjamin Gilbert testified for him in Carroll County Court. The pension of Forty
Dollars a month was approved and appears to have been paid for the remaining 10 years of
John McKenzie's life until his death in 1842. Martha survived him and she applied for and
was granted a widow's pension. The pension records show that in 1843 three sons were
living: Jeremiah H. (born 1793); Alexander A (born 1799); and James M. who stated he was
"the youngest son."

A newspaper obituary in 1842 stated that John McKenzie's Masonic funeral was to be "preached
at Caledonia", but no mention was made of the place of burial. Later a marker was placed in
Mt. Olivet Cemetery in McKenzie, Tennessee. The town of McKenzie, formerly called Dundas,
is named for a member of John's family.
A reading of John McKenzie's long declaration will attest to his courage, uprightness, and
devotion to the cause he so strongly believed in. See also The American Revolution In The
South written by the American General Henry Lee, which describes many of the actions and
landmarks and tells of the same officers referred to by John McKenzie in his declaration.
See particularly the account of the battle of Guilford Court House, North Carolina, in
chapter 27 and of Rocky Mount, hanging Rock, Camden, Rudgeley's Mills, and of Thomas Sumter
in Chapter l7.

As another interesting sidelight, the Encyclopedia Britannica states that at Hanging Rock in
August 1780 the boy Andrew Jackson, then 13 years old, participated in the battle. It is
interesting to speculate whether Captain McKenzie was acquainted with the 13-year-old future
president. Certainly no one present would have believed that in a second war with England
35 years later the lad, as a General, would be the hero of the Battle of New Orleans and go
on to the Presidency. A year after Hanging Rock the boy Jackson was captured and mistreated
by the British at nearby Waxaha, near his birth place in Virginia of John McKenzie. See
also the declarations and correspondence in the pension files, Washington D.C. of Benjamin
and Emily Gilbert, Robert Gilbert, Martha Bonner McKenzie, Jeremiah, Alexander, and James
McKenzie, and Samuel Winn; also the military records of South Carolina. This brief summary
only gives a few of the facts about this heroic Revolutionary War veteran who lived out his
last years in Carroll County.

The following is a transcription of Capt. John McKenzie's Declaration, which he submitted to the federal government in the 1830's to obtain a pension for his service during the Revolutionary War. He references in an interrogatory response that he was born 17 Sep 1757 and that he had an older brother, William, who also served in that war. Michael A. McKenzie, October 6, 2012

State of TennesseeDeclaration of John McKenzie
Carroll County

In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832, on this appeared in open court, Col. John McKenzie, a Resident of the County of Carroll, State of Tennessee, who being first duly sworn according to law doth make the following declaration.

This declarant states that in the year 1776, in the County of Halifax, State of Virginia, declarant and between fifteen & twenty other young men, the exact number not now recollected, agreed to volunteer and join the United States troops then employed in the service of the United States. Declarant states that by this company, he was elected their Captain and took up the line of march and went to Portsmouth at which place there was then stationed a number of regiments. This declarant and his young company was attached to the 5th Regiment then commanded by a (ed. note: word hard to read) and attached to the Company of Captain Talbot. This declarant does not now fully recollect the whole of the officers in command or there at that time but recollects that the 6th Regiment was commanded by Col Buckmen and the whole Brigade commanded by General Lewis (ed. note: name a bit unclear). As my Company was not large enough in number to be kept as a separate Company they were principly attached to the Company of Capt Talbot and the General appointed this Declarant (ed. note: word hard to read) commissary to the Company at some time hereinafter. The Army to which declarant was attached was ordered to march from Portsmouth and did so. They marched to Springfield from thence to the (ed. note: word hard to read) from thence to Point Comfort & from thence to Williamsburgh - at this later place declarant became sick after serving a period of twelve months from this point declarant returned home in the year 1777. As well as the declarant now recollects he went into the State of South Carolina and after being there some short time living and superintending the iron works of Hill and Hayne he was in that year again elected Captain of a volunteer Company in which capacity he served two years more. Their Company was commanded by Col. Thomas Sumpter whom this declarant voted for for that office. Colo. Sumpter gave this declarant a commission wrote and signed by Said Col. At this period General Lincoln commanded the Southern Services but during the service of this declarant in the command aforesaid Col Sumpter was elected or promoted to the command and title of General Sumpter and with him and under his command declarant (ed. note: word hard to read) Company of five or six Regiments marched to Rocky Mount where the British and Tories had a strong (ed. note: word hard to read) or fortified fort. This place was attacked by the then command of General Sumpter but without effect as the American troops were repulsed - in this attack Col Neal and many brave men lost their lives. After this repulse the Army crossed the Catawba for the purpose of recruiting. After three or four days rest the line of march was taken up for the purpose of forming at (ed. note: word hard to read) with General Gates and joining his Army. This was in the summer of seventeen hundred and eighty but before we reached him he and his troops were defeated at Camden by the British forces under the command of Lord Cornwallis. In two or three days we were met by the British under the command of Col Tarleton. An engagement took place which resulted in the defeat of the American troops. The American troops then recrossed the Catawba retreating & recruited some forces and returned to the south in marching whereto they had many engagements and skirmishes one at the Hanging Rock one at Ridgeley’s Mills. At the later place the American troops were successful and took many prisoners & in all which tour and service this declarant acted in the capacity of Captain. At these (ed. note: word hard to read) declarant fell in company and got acquainted with Col Wm Washington and other officers of the Continental Army. After this engagement declarant with his Company was ordered by General Sumpter to go and guard the iron works of Hill and Hayne at which place there was a large quantity of cannon shot and other articles necessary and intended for the American Army. While at this station declarant was attacked by a Regiment of the British and Tories commanded by Col Gordon and Capt Hook & who after all the resistance that could be made defeated declarant & his Company and destroyed the works. Declarant marched immediately and joined General Davidson in Mecklenburgh County in the State of North Carolina. Declarant acted under the command of General Davidson as Contractor for Salisbury District and with an express agreement that declarant was to act as Captain in any engagement which the forces under General Davidson might have with the enemy. In a short time after this appointment the forces under General Davidson’s command met the British forces under Lord Cornwallis at Beattysford on the Catawba River at which place an engagement took place which resulted in the defeat of the American Army and the loss of our Genl – who fell in the engagement. In this engagement declarant acted as Captain of a company. After the fall of General Davidson the command devolved upon General Pickins who retreated with the Army to Widow Torences. Seven miles from the battle ground they were pursued by Col Tarleton and overtaken when another engagement took place where we were again compelled to retreat and give way to superior discipline and force. Here we lost about one hundred of our men in killed wounded & prisoners. We then marched and joined the Army under General Nathaniel Green at Dan River. This was some time in the beginning of the year 1781. Declarant continued under the command of general Green from that time until the Battle of Guilford. At this battle the declarant acted as one of the aids of General Green in consequence of some indisposition of one [of] the General’s aids who was unable to act for him on that day. This battle was fought in the month of March 1781 as well as declarant now recollects. From this battle ground the Army under the command of General Green retreated for some miles and again drew up in order to give battle to the British who it was expected were in pursuit of us – but we soon had information that the British Army were in their retreat from the Battle ground. The Army of General Green not then being in a (ed. note: word hard to read) to pursue the British as we were then exhausted and out of military stores. Declarant at that time was known in the American Army by the name of the Big Virginia Captain. General Green then and as soon as it was ascertained that the British were retreating sent for declarant and gave him the command of five volunteer Militia Companys who volunteered their service with instruction to this declarant to keep the British forces under the command of Lord (ed. note: word hard to read) at Camden in check or to anoy their march until the whole American Army could be got in good order to over take them. The next few lines are unreadable. . . . at the state line his men refused to go any further and his pursuit ceased. At the time that this declarant parted from General Green, General Green and his forces with the exception of those sent with declarant were on their line of march after Lord Cornwallis & his troops. This declarant ascertained that the Militia under his command refused to cross their state line. He relinquished the command and immediately went to serve his old friend and acquaintance General Sumpter who at that time was confined in Charlotte by a wound which he had received in the shoulder some short time before General Sumpter gave declarant on his arrival a Captain’s commission in the State Troops of Light Dragoons of South Carolina. Declarant immediately lit out and in about ten days enlisted one hundred men for ten months and immediately joined the main Army under the command of General Sumpter. Then on the Bangar declarant attached his Company to the Regiment then commanded by Col Wm Hill. The Regiment to which this declarant was attached marched in company with the regiments commanded by Col Lea and Washington against the outposts at New Market and had an engagement at Camden and at Orangeburg and other places and took large quantities of stores and munitions of war which was deposited at Camden under the care of Capt Godfrey Adams. In some short time after this declarant was asked by General Sumpter to take command of the stores at Camden at which place declarant continued until the stores were (ed. note: word hard to read) off when declarant returned to camp. Again at this time on account of the number of men killed and many whose term of service had expired what was then called a consolidation took place amongst the officers of the Army. I had then in the Army in which I was in service a brother older than myself holding also the command of Captain then known in the Army by the name of Capt Wm McKenzie. Declarant saw that both himself and brother should not have commands as there were many valiant and brave men equally entitled. Impelled by this motive. Declarant allowed his older brother the command. But declarant at this time being (ed. note: word hard to read) to promote his country’s cause and having been long in the habit of commanding companies and detachments of men declarant then he could in that situation render most benefit he could in company with Captain Robert Tate and some other officers set out from the Army of General Sumpter and again joined the Army of General Green at Jacksonburg and joined a regiment commanded by Col (ed. note: word hard to read) in which declarant continued until the Army of General Green was disbanded or discharged in the year 1782 as well as this declarant now recollects. This declarant states that from the beginning of the year 1776 until the disbanding of the Army of the South to which he was attached in year1782 the whole of this period with the exception of one year and one half was by this declarant spent in the plains and tinted fields with his brothers in arms defending his country’s wrongs. Declarant states that for the space of five years he spent in the service of his country he never was lower ion command than a Captain and when he acted in higher it was only for temporary or urgent purposes. This declarant states that during the whole of his service he acted for his country as a volunteer in her service.

Interrogatories Put by the Court to the Declarant

1st – Where were you born and in what year

Answer: I was born in the State of Virginia in Albemarle (hard to read) County in the year 1757 on the 17th day of September.

2nd – Have you any record of your age and if so where is it

Answer: I have had a book in which my age was written for the purpose of proving the same but it was burnt by accident many years ago.

3rd – Where were you living when called into the Army or service. Where have you lived since the Revolutionary War and where do you live now.

Answer: In 1776 when the cause of my country required my service I lived in Halifax County in the State of Virginia from which place I volunteered. After the Army was discharged I settled in the State of Georgia and continued to live there until 1816 or 1817 at which time I removed to Maury County, Tennessee where I continued to live with my family until 1828 when I moved into the County of Carroll and State of Tennessee where I now live.

4th – How were you called into service. Were you drafted. Did you volunteer or were you a substitute and if a substitute for whom.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

She later worked as an operator for the telephone company in Columbus and for many years for several families as a governess. Anna met her husband-to-be, Herman, while employed as a hand painter at the Capital Art Works Factory, Main St., Bexley.
Herman, German born, had moved up from Florida,
where he was a creative artist, and had mastered the Meisner Process. He made molds and unusual casts of delicate art carvings and even a Baptismal Font. His speciality was concrete in colors, ornamental stone and reproductions of high quality.

Josepf and Ida Catherine(Lemmle) Reich of Munich.
Herman Josef Reich and Anna Mae were married by a

Notes:

Sponsors of the Children of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795) Which Circumstantially Suggests that Samuel McKenzie (b. 1751) (“Old Sam”) was John M.’s Father - by Michael A. McKenzie May, 2014

1.Before we begin with the sponsors of John M.’s children, note that John M. named his second child Samuel. May be a clue.
2.May, 1819, Samuel McKenzie, sponsors: Samuel McKenzie and Hanna Logston. Is this Samuel (1850, “Old Sam”, John’s father and this boy’s grandfather?
3.June, 1821, Harriett McKenzie, sponsors: Moses and Catherine McKenzie. I think this was Moses Ignatius McKenzie and his wife, Catherine. Moses Ignatius was a known child of Samuel ("Old Sam") and would have been John M.’s oldest brother.
4.September, 1823, John M. McKenzie, Jr., sponsor: Helen McKensey. Query: is this a misspelling of “Ellen”? If so, this may be John M.’s sister, Eleanor (Ellen_ and one of Samuel McKenzie’s (1751) daughters. The fact that there is only one sponsor reinforces that Helen/Ellen was not married and coincides with the information I recently sent you with respect to Samuel F. McKenzie (b. 1805).
5.September, 1840, Peter McKenzie, sponsors: May and Basil McKenzie. The only Basil of which I am aware was the son of Moses Ignatius McKenzie referenced above. Basil would have been John M.’s nephew, and the grandson of Samuel McKenzie (1751).
6.May, 1844, Francis McKinzie, sponsors being Sam’l F. McKinzie and Reb. Garlitz. This could be one of two people: Samuel F. McKenzie (abt. 1791), who was John M.’s brother or Samuel F. McKenzie (1805), who I have proposed was the son of Ellen McKenzie of Samuel (1751).

Conclusion
These are the recorded baptisms of John M.’s children in which I can identify the sponsors. In every one that I can identity, there is some connection to Samuel McKenzie (1751). Ergo, I conclude that Samuel McKenzie (1750) was the father of John M. McKenzie (abt. 1795).

Aaron McKenzie

Aaron McKenzie was born in Maryland in 1792. He married Hannah Johnson on 10 MAR 1819 and together they had (at least) five children (and probably seven) (1):

1.Daniel McKenzie
Born 1817
Married Sarah (Sallie) Spencer 27 MAR 1847 in Allegany County
Had children Hannah, Henry, John Franklin, Annette, George and Newton
Died 23 SEPT 1896 in Cresaptown, Maryland

2.Silas (Cyrus) Johnson McKenzie
Born 13 Mar 1830
Married Sarah Elizabeth Spencer in 1859

3.Aaron William McKenzie
Born 16 Dec 1830
Married Margaret Ann Martin
Had children Hannah, George, Percy, Lavina, Taylor, James, Charles Walter and John Burr

4.John Ephriam McKenzie
Born 1835
Married Mary Alice Martin
Had children Aaron B., Charles Winfield, John W. and Horace Russell

5.Samuel McKenzie

Aron McKinsey (actual spelling) first appears in the 1820 census. (3) He is listed as the head of household. His age is given as being between twenty-six and forty-five. His wife is also listed in the same age category. There was one female child in the household, whose age is listed as being less than ten years old.

Aaron McKinsey appears next in the 1830 census. (4) At that time the records reflect that he had two male children under the age of five living at home, one male between the age of five and ten, one female between the age of five and ten and another female between the age of ten and fifteen.

The 1840 census (5) also shows Aaron McKinsey living in Election District 6 in Allegany County. There was one male under the age of five in his household, two males between the age of five and ten, one male between the age of fifteen and twenty, one female between fifteen and twenty and another female between twenty and thirty.

Aaron McKenzie was listed in the 1850 Census for Allegany County. (6) He was fifty-eight at the time his wife, Hannah, was fifty-seven years old. He was working as a laborer. Cyrus (age 21), Aaron (age 20) and John E. (age 18) were still living at home. Susan Baird, age seventeen, and listed as a teacher was living with them along with Emily _______, age 40 and a nineteen year old male. (7)

By the time the 1860 census was taken (8) Aaron and his wife, Hannah and their son, Aaron W. age twenty-four had moved to Hampshire, Virginia (now West Virginia). Aaron was sixty-six years old (which is off by two years if you compare it with the 1850 census and would have meant that he was born in 1794) and was working as a carpenter. Hannah was fifty-six years old (which also does not coincide with the 1850 census, since she was listed as being fifty-seven on that document). Aaron, Hannah and Aaron W. (9) were all born in the State of Maryland.

The 1860 census also provides us with information on Cyrus (Silas) McKenzie, who was two of Aaron’s sons. (10) He was living close by to his parents, was thirty years old and was living with Sarah E., age seventeen. The census reflects that they had been married in the past year. Silas (as it was listed in this census) was born in the State of Maryland.

Interestingly, the author was experimenting one night with the Ancestry.com census search program when he discovered Aaron McKenzie (b. 1792) and his wife Hannah McKenzie living in Jefferson, Noble County, Ohio in 1870. (11). They were listed as being 78 and 77, respectively. They were residing with John Kyles, age 56, his wife, Mary E., age 50, and their seven children. When you compare the 1860 census with the one from 1870, Aaron and Hannah McKenzie are residing with the Kyles in the Western District, Hampshire County, Virginia. The 1880 Jefferson, Noble County, Ohio census reflects that Mary E. Kyles was now widowed and living with her three youngest children. Aaron and Hannah McKenzie are no longer living in the household, which suggests perhaps that they died in the preceding ten years.

Endnotes


1. The census records in 1820, 1830 and 1840 reflect that Aaron and Hannah had two daughters, assuming that the young females actually living in their household were daughters and not simply female relatives who had come to live with them.

2. In another portion of his notes, Col. MacKenzie states as follows: “J.F.G. (referring to J.F. Grant) said Daniel IV had as children Henry, Frank, George J. (Boss Geo.), Newton, Hannah, Isabel (Belle) and Louise.”

7. The names are not readable on the microfilm because it appears that someone placed some scotch tape on the record at some time causing the information to be illegible.

9. Aaron W. McKenzie appears in the 1900 Census at Maryland, Allegany County, Rawlings Election District No. 7, Supervisor District 4, Enumeration District No. 102. If you do a search on Ancestry.com in the 1900 Federal Census for “Saras” McKenzie, the reference to Aaron and his wife, Margaret, will pop up. The transcriber simply misread the name.

Note from Don Kagle in November, 2014:

Dick and Mike:

Back to Aaron William McK for a sec. I don't have a daughter Susan as a result of the following: 1850 Census for Alleg. Co. Md. Dist 6, has a Susan Baird, 17 b.abt 1833, teacher living with Aaron & Hannah. 1840 census has the total in the household at 9 people. There are no females indicated that would have been seven.

Notes:

Per the research of Col. Gabriel T. MacKenzie James Moses McKenzie and Margaret Agnes Porter McKenzie's tombstones had no lettering on them as they were red soft ferrous rectangular stones and time had obliterated all marking on them when he saw them in 1953 in the old Moses McKenzie Cemetary in Cresaptown, Maryland. A Mr. Sanford Robinette, 114 Winchester Road, Cresaptown showed Col. MacKenzie the above mentioned tombstones. Mr. Robinette is the husband of Lena Grant Robinette, daughter of Joseph F. Grant, deceased 1931, a grandson of James Moses and Margaret.

The (James) Moses McKenzie cemetery is located off McKenzie Tower Road, south of Cresaptown, Maryland. Take the Winchester Road Extension, turn left on McKenzie Tower Road. Go about .8 mile and the cemetery is on the right.

Moses McKenzie was listed in the 1860 Allegany County, Maryland Census as living in Disr=trict 6, page 193. His age was listed as being 65 years old. His wife, Margaret, was still alive and her age was listed as being 55.

They had the following children residing with them: Richard, age 22, Emily, age 19, Elizabeth, age 17, Ann, age 13, Charles, age 10 and Marian, age 3.

From the archives of Col. G.T. Mackenzie (Ret.) comes the following:

"there is a family record filed with the estate and will of the above Moses (James Moses) MacKenzie in the Allegany COunty Courthouse in Cumberland, Maryland where, I. Col. Gabriel T. MacKenzie, U.S. Army, retired, great grandson of the said Moses filed said family record with Moses' will but mistakenly said Daniel, father of Moses, was the son of Daniel instead of correctly stating that (James) Moses was the son of Daniel, son of Gabriel, son of John and Katherine."

Notes:

This particular John may not be the son of Gabriel, Jr. Ed. Note. Needs to be verified/proven.

The following information was received from Bobbie McKenzie in June, 2013. Future researchers will need to verify it if they are interested in this line.

Rosanne=eleanorrms@aol.com (need to check accuracy of email address) I have a copy of the death cert. of "Jno D. M. Mackenzie" b. 3 July 1829 in OH, and d. 22 March 1916 in IL. Gives name of father "Jno Mackenzie", born Maryland, and mother Margaret Clugston, born Maryland. The informant was my grandfather, who only went to 4th grade, maybe 6th grade in school....so the correct spelling of Clugston could have been Logsdon. Also, my grandfather's name ~ on the cert. gives an incorrect middle initial, which could indicate the person taking the info was not too careful.

John (1829) is believed to have been born in Gambier Knox Co OH.

John (1829) McKenzie is listed in the 1850 Knox Co OH census, along with
Sarah McKenzie. I have been informed they were married in 1848. John was
married more than once. Another wife, Emma Moreland, is the mother of my
grandfather.

She also has John & Margaret's marriage license record from Allegany Co, MD, their marriage record at the Catholic Church in Allegany Co, MD in 1822, their son's (John) baptism in 1829 at St. Luke Church in Danville, Knox Co, OH, Margaret's marriage to William Robeson in 1831, marriage record of the son John's marriages to Sarah Presley in 1849, to Caroline Southwick in 1852, marriage record of Joseph to Elizabeth Parker in 1862, copy of Joseph's death record in 1893.

The son John also married Emma Moreland who was in the Wash DC census 1860, age 14. I don't know when or where they married. But I found that her mother and brother were later married (not to each other :) ) in McLean Co, IL in 1872 and 1877.

Emma's sister married in Wash DC in 1862. She had another sister that I haven't been able to trace.

Re John McKenzie that married Margaret Peggy Logsdon........they got a m. license in Allegany Co. 30 Nov 1822 and were m. 3 Dec 1822 at the Catholic Church in Allegany Co., MD. There is a record of the baptism of Mary & Joseph in the book "Western Maryland Catholics 1819-1851" by Koch & Davidson. There is a record of the baptism of John (b 1829) in St Luke's Church, Danville, Knox Co. OH.

John & Sarah are in the 1850 Knox Co census. Their m. 1 Aug 1849 is in the Knox Co marriage record. She died in 1852 and he m. Caroline Southwick in 1853....also in Knox Co marriage record. Family lore.....he had a son named William before he married Emma Moreland. Don't know what happened to
Caroline, or when he married Emma. Emma was from Wash.DC. He & Emma had 4 children, John Duncan b 1869 in IL, d 1954 in IA, Margaret - never married, Louise - never married, and Jane (Jen). In the 1880 census for LaSalle Co IL he is listed as J.D. McKenzi =e with Emma McKenzie, and the 3 oldest children.

I have only looked at Knox Co in OH and not at Mahoning Co because the family seemed to stick pretty close to Mt Vernon, and stayed pretty much with the Catholic Church. When Margaret's husband died in 1829 in Knox Co she remarried a Knox Co man and stayed in the area until she died. She & her new
husband did not raise Mary, Joseph and John however......she "farmed them out" to other family/families because the new husband did not want to raise them......according to family legend.

Hi Bobbie:

John and Sarah McKenzie are in the 1850 Ohio census, Schedule I - Free Inhabitants in 1st Ward of Mt Vernon, Knox Co, the page number is difficult to read but I think it is page 233. John & Sarah are on lines 39 & 40. On June 6 someone else in Knox Co told me that John McKenzie married Sarah 1 Aug 1849, by E.T.Brown min. She died 31 July 1852, age 20 yr, 3 mon, 11 days buried Moundview Cem. Mt Vernon, OH.

Marriage # 2 = Caroline Southwick 1 Feb 1853 by Fr. Julius Brent.

Old family letters say that he was married twice.....but they may not have known of #2. John and Emma Moreland had 4 children, all born in IL. My grandfather was the oldest of the 4, and he was born in 1869. John & Emma died and are buried in Ottawa, LaSalle Co. IL.
:
I have a copy of the death cert. of "Jno D. M. Mackenzie" ã b. 3 July 1829 in OH, and d. 22 March 1916 in IL. Gives name of father "Jno Mackenzie", born Maryland, and mother Margaret Clugston, born Maryland. The informant was my grandfather, who only went to 4th grade, maybe 6th grade in school....so the correct spelling of Clugston could have been Logsdon. Also, my grandfather's name on the cert. gives an incorrect middle initial, which could indicate the person taking the info was not too careful.

John (1829) McKenzie is listed in the 1850 Knox Co OH census, along with Sarah McKenzie. I have been informed they were married in 1849. John was married more than once. Another wife, Emma Moreland, is the mother of my grandfather.

This is as far as I have been able to go with MacKenzie names.

I'd like to hear more from you and your group (Ed. note: McKenzie Quest Group started by Ann Stansbarger and Michael McKenzie in 1999).

John married Margaret "Peggy" Logsdon on 30 Nov 1822 in St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Allegany County, Maryland. Margaret (daughter of William Logsdon and Maria Holland) was born on 17 Dec 1805 in Maryland; died on 23 Jul 1848 in Union City, Knox County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Description: I don't think that Nathaniel died in Fayette Co, Ill. In a summary of Knox Co, Oh. Common PleasCourt Minutes, 1829 his probate was listed on p. 130. When i wrote for a copy of his estate proceedings, the clerk of probate court wrote that the book had disappeared from her office. The summary said that he was dead by 8 Sept 1829 when his brother Moses applied to be the administrator and Gabriel, the appraiser.

Ed. Note: In view of the information from Bobbie McKenzie, above, the date for daughter, Sarah's birth may be incorrect.

The following is from John Brake:

Mike:

I need to make a correction to my last email. Per the St. Luke's church records, Sarah McKenzie (dtr of Nathaniel McKenzie & Maria Dial) was BORN on 11 Aug 1832, but not baptized until 11 Mar 1833. The records say it was after Nathaniel's death. So he must have died sometime in 1832/1833.

John

But, review the information that the author received from Bob McKenzie in July, 2016:

With no wish to "muddy" anyone's mind concerning Gabriel D. McKenzie's brother Nathaniel, I'm offering the following material to clarify some question on his widow's (Mary Dial McKenzie) child, Sarah Ann McKenzie, also known as Sarah Ann Lybarger or Maranda Lybarger. Based on what other researchers have offered, we likewise assume that Nahaniel was the son of Gabriel McKenzie and Ann Maddox (Mattox).

From John H. Doty's 1977 compilation Pioneer Families of Colonial America, p. 208, Doty states the following:

"Nathan McKinsey died in Pleasant Twp., Knox Co., Ohio on or about 9-3-1829. Dr Wm L. Brooks made his last visit on 8-26-1829. Nathan had brothers Samuel, Moses, Aaron, Gabriel, & a sister Elizabeth (all italics mine) who m John S. Logue an older brother of James Logue - 3l7. Nathan signed a note to Baptist Mattingly for $5.31 on 8-11-1829. Moses McKinsey paid $6.00 on 10-5-1829 for Nathan's coffin."

On page 209 of the same compilation, Doty writes:

"See Probate Court Records of Knox Co., Ohio for estate settlement of Nathan McKinzie. Box 42, 697--Isaac Dial was appointed guardian of Rachel McKinzie, orphan of Nathan McKinzie on 10-17-1829. George Dial Jr & Peter Sheffer were appointed bondmen. Maria Dial McKenzie was listed as mother. See Vol 9, p 188--a Bill of sale & a list of property used by widow was made on 10-2-1829, Bk k, p 87 & Bk 38, p 66 or # 38-66. Inventory was filed on 3-12-1836, Bk B, p 375. Estate records--Bk 1, p 368, 9-8-1829 appointed Mary McKensey & Moses McKinsey administrators of the estate of Nathan McKensey. Isaac Dial & Gabriel McKinsey were appraised for bail."

"Nathan McKenzie & Mary Dial had at least one child, maybe two--see 1840 census. Rachel McKensey, b 3-22-1828 in Knox Co., Ohio & d 11-20-1906 St. Elmo, Ill cemetery."

"Marie (Mary) Dial McKenzie next man was Andrew Lybarger, son of Old George Lybarger (d1830). From this union one child was born--Sarah Ann (Maranda) Lyrager was born 10-20-1832 in Knox Co., Ohio & d in Morris Twp., Sumner Co., Kan on 2-11-1896. She was baptised on 3-11-1833 at St. Luke's Catholic church, Danville, Ohio as Sarah Ann McKinsey."

"Children of James Logue and Marie (Mary) Dial McKenzie, Lybarger."

I've reproduced Doty's material exactly as it is in his compilation except for the bold print emphasizing Gabriel D. McKenzie's brothers and sister. Hopefully this will help other researchers baffled by the matter of a second daughter born to Nathaniel and Mary (Dial) McKenzie after his demise in 1829. But I must caution that I have not verified everything Doty presents.

The following information was received by the author from Robert (Bob) McKenzie in June, 2016:

Notes for GABRIEL MCKENZIE:

As a matter of record, this Gabriel McKenzie, his brother Aaron, and two of their sisters, Catherine and Elizabeth, married four members of the Daniel and Honora (Logsdon) Logue family. Catherine married Ralph E. Logue, Elizabeth married John Smith Logue, Aaron married Mary E. Logue, and Gabriel married Nancy Logue. By the time Honora (Logsdon) Logue and Daniel Logue died, she in 1844 and he in 1851, Elizabeth (McKenzie) Logue had also died, and John Smith Logue had remarried. In select papers regarding the estate of Daniel Logue, both Mary (Logue) McKenzie and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie are mentioned. This information appears in John H. Doty's "Pioneer Families of Colonial America," Copyright 1977, on pages 188, 202-203.

From the legal description of real estate mentioned in estate papers of Gabriel McKenzie's son Lewis McKenzie, Gabriel and Nancy (Logue) McKenzie were grantors of "the North West Quarter of the North West Quarter of Sec 19, Township 8, North Range 4, East of the 3rd P.M., containing 45 and 90/100 acres through a warranty" to Lewis McKenzie and his wife Normanda (Logue) McKenzie, the grantees. This particular land is located near Moccasin, IL.

For those who enjoy family stories, one legend exists that Gabriel would walk from his farm house near Moccasin to Effingham every year to pay his real estate taxes. On his last trip, it is said that he only made it part of the way and was forced to rest. Eventually, he was brought home by some neighbors. Legend also has it that he regularly walked from his farm near Moccasin to Saint Bonaventure Church, three miles north of St. Elmo, IL., so that he could attend Mass. Seemingly, Gabriel was a religious person. In the entry made of his death and burial on February 17, 1884, on page 160 of Volume I of the parish records for St. Bonaventure now maintained at St.Clare's Church in Altamont, IL, the priest at that time wrote, "Today, I buried Gabriel McKensey. He was a very pious man."

Gabriel died on February 15, 1884, and one assumes that he is buried in the St. Bonaventure Cemetery, next to the church he loved to attend. In an obituary prepared about Gabriel's son Lewis McKenzie, the journalist at that time related that another of Gabriel's sons, John McKenzie, was the very first person to be buried in St. Bonaventure Cemetery. Regrettably, no markers indicate the location of either person's grave. Gabriel's wife preceded him in death a little over 5 years earlier.

Gabriel married Nancy Ann Logue on 29 Apr 1824 in St. Luke's Catholic Church, Danville, Knox County, Ohio. Nancy (daughter of Daniel Logue and Honora (Oner) Logsdon) was born on 16 Mar 1803 in Allegany County, Maryland; died on 14 Dec 1878 in Effingham, Effingham County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Hester Sapp on 22 May 1830 in Danville, Knox County, Ohio. Hester (daughter of George Sapp and Catherine Arnold) was born about 1805; died on 18 Oct 1881 in Fayette County, Illinois. [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.
