We have known about Daniel McKay's will for some time, but can not find a connection with our Robert MacKay of Shenandoah Valley, VA.

Wonder if this Daniel McKay is the same person I found in an earlier NJ records giving the date of his entry into NJ. See earlier posting on this site. Record said he was a boy from Ireland.
