Wallace Johnson McKay is my 3rd. Gr. Grandfather and he had a brother named George McKay. That is the line Jack is from. He insists that Wallace's Grandfather was Alexander McKay, and his wife's name was Jane.He has alot of info. about this line. I think my line has Robert McKay as Wallace's Grandfather.My Gr. Granfather Lewis McKay had an Uncle who was a Baptsist Minister.Usually they name thier son's after someone in the family. Off the top of my head he said that Alexander came from Va. and into Missouri and then down into Alabama. My relatives came from Nodaway Co. Missouri and his came from Howard Co., Missouri. I hooked up with him when he had put a photo of Wallace Johnson Mckay and his wife Cyndrilla Burris McKay and some children and another photo of George McKay and his wife Lydia Stonehocker McKay. on Findagrave.com's Sight I haven't any photo's of them and asked how he was related.

The McKay family started by Alexander McKay/McCoy of Shenandoah Co. VA according to legal document filed in Chancery Suit, his age given as 64 years as of 1792. That would mean a couple of years younger than Robert MacKay Sr.'s youngest son Moses.

None of Robert Sr.'s other sons had a son named Alexander. This first name not used by the family of said Robert Sr.--as far as I can find in legal records.

I have not been able to find legal documents linking the above Alexander McKay to the Alexander McKay who married on 3 Feb 1819 to Rosanna Conner and I have the land deed that they filed. Also Alexander McKay who married Leuretia Wilson in Shenandoah Co. VA on 20 Feb 1833. If these men were related, I do not known, and I am trying to find where they removed. They are not living in Warren or Clarke Co. VA after 1837.

I would not assume because they are using the same first name they are related, but I have not found a record showing they are related to the group of MacKay/McKay started by Robert Mackay Sr.

Since I do not know you or the another researcher. And no legal records have been given for Alexander McKay being the father of the later generation. I really do not know if the information being supplied comes from one of the various computer banks or is merely just someone opinion. The facts do not support an Alexander McKay being connected to our group of Mackay. I can only assume someone (and not me) is just making up information linking a later generation to earlier generation.

The four generation I have supplied to you is the results of layers of layers of legal documentation and generations of McKay researcher doing research in libraries and our earlier research now has DNA study which can link the early generations of Mackay/Mckay together. Going back to my first message--you need to do working in Kenton Co. KY to prove your line back to the four generation of MacKay of VA.

I am trying to find out if Robert McKay Jr. Had a son Named Joseph C. McKay. He was born Jan 17 1782 in Frederick co. Va. Joseph married Margaret Jackson. There is a Question if Joseph's dad was Robert or Alexander McKay. Would anyone know for sure? I'm trying to follow the descendancy to my Gr. Grandfather Lewis McKay b. Nov.18 1888 in Nodaway co. Missouri.


Thank you,

By the name of Carolyn Henry of TX as submitted to the L.D.S. computer bank your Wallace Johnson McKay. You can get her address

www.familysearch.org

She has his father's name as Joseph C. McKay, I disagree only Joseph McKay. You can ask her for her sources. And she links the line back to Robert Jr. of VA.

Robert Mackay/McKay Jr.'s son Robert with wife Mary left Frederick Co.VA acout c1775 and settled in Kenton Co. KY where his children were born. He started off his life as a Quaker and was later disowned by the Society for training in the militia. Check Hopewell Friends and Hinshaw.

Said Robert is mentioned in connection with deed of sale of Isaac Zane's executors in Shenandoah Co. VA court records under date of August 1812. Chancery records are on line through State of VA web site.

You will find their records in Kenton Co. KY among land deeds, court records, land deeds, birth and death registry ect.... We know where their family grave yard existed in the 1970's. I have not personally visited the site.

The Alexander McKay of Shenandoah Co. VA was still in VA c1830. I still hope to find out more about him as I go through land deed for that location. I see absolutely no way he is related to the McKay started by Robert of Kenton Co. KY. Jack Martin is trying to mix two different families together as one and both groups arrived into KY two entirely different time periods.

Did Jack Martin's ancestors never live in Kenton Co. KY? The two counties in MO that the two groups of McKay lived are not even close together ?

I will start with my Gr. Grandfather.
Lewis McKay b.Nov.18 1888 in Beatrice, Nebraska.
His father was James W. McKay b. Nov. 20 1857 in Atchinson co., Missouri.
His father was Wallace Johnson McKay b. Nov 18 1825 in Missouri.
His father was Joseph C. McKay b. in Kenton co., Kentucky.
His father was Robert McKay b. 1 March 1743 in Frederick Co., Virginia.

I have been talking to a Jack Martin who said that Robert wasn't Joseph's father that Alexander was. I was to Believe that my info was correct. That's why the question of who the father was.

My Gr. Grandfather's mother was Mary Wallace according to family member's.
She died in birth with the twin to my Gr. Grandfather. Can't seem to find her death record though, or where she might be buried.

The answer to your question, if you are still looking, just take Autosomal DNA test and you should match known descendants of Robert Mackay Sr. Found in Ancestry & Family Tree DNA.

Found on Ancestry DNA Project "Dixiejen" (Ancestry Tree Hodges Family Tree) descend of Alexander McKay born 1782 Scotland died 1879 NC married Mary Galbreath. She through son Dougald McKay born 1805 died 1870 wife Jennet Priest born 1800 North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland died 1851 NC.

I do not see other lines in common, but some of her branches not complete. We are interested in her McKay line and if these researchers can really place Alexander in Argyll, Scotland.

Researcher "NET" (Ancestry Tree Taylor Family Tree) has the same couple in his tree. His Taylor family not the same as mine from Scotland.

I will be looking in the future for additional researchers who descend from this Alexander McKay.

I see no evidence that this is the same Alexander McKay that lived in Shenandoah Co. VA. But I think he might have removed down to NC, which would match with what these researchers have on their separate charts.

This Alexander McKay was the same generation as my Jacob McKay (husband of Elizabeth Antrim). I think my Jacob was 5th generation of his line McKay to have lived in US.

Others on Ancestry have taken Alexander's line back in Scotland for additional generations. If true I do not know.

Now if known descends of Robert Mackay Sr. who have their samples in Ancestry, if they are showing matches that would be helpful to know that . If they do not that is helpful as well.
