Hopewell MM records show marriage of Jacob McKay & Rahel Shinn 7 Jul 1784.

Where/how does this Jacob McKay fit into the family?

Jacob McKay who married Rachel (Wright) Shinn is one of my ancestors. His record is in the link here:

He was first married to Rachel Ridgeway who is the mother to all of his children.

Jacob's 3rd wife was Rebecca (Janney) Gregg. She was a member of a well-known Quaker family of Loudoun County, VA.

Jacob's 2nd wife Rachel (Wright) Shinn and her first husband George Shinn are the parents of Abigail Shinn, who married Moses McKay, Jacob's nephew.

Hope this helps.

Do you know if there were copies of these records kept elsewhere?

Were any of your family members recorded on any of the Six Nations or other Reservations tribal rolls?
