Can you direct me to a document that proves that Abraham McKay was the son of Moses McKay? Likewise, I would appreciate a document that shows what happened to Moses McKays Haybottom Plantation upon his death. The Big Pigeon Church Minutes provide the necessary proof that shows that Abraham was the father of Jeremiah. I need a Bible record, land record/deed, etc. that is acceptable proof of my lineage from Robert McKay.

We plan to travel to Virginia the 2nd week of October and plan to see what we can.

You mentioned that Junior McKay had put information on the internet. I have not seen that information.

I am praying that you can help me. I am so grateful for all the work that you and countless others have done to preserve our family legacy.

Mary L. Meritt

P.S. I will be happy to provide you with information and documentation regarding my McKays. I suppose that you already know but I would be happy to contribute to the collection.

My grandmother was Beatrice Belle McKay m. Robert Chester Badgwell Sr (Texas)
Beatrice was the daughter of Jeremiah McKay and his second wife Addie California Tipton
Jeremiah was the son of James Roger McKay. James Roger married Martha and her sister Catherine Stuart. (Not at the same timeJ)
Roger was the son of Jeremiah and Isabell.

If you are the one who just phone me, two sources I failed to mention.

Hopewell Friencs Records in general the book on page 499 stated that

4 11 1771 Isaac & Abraham McKay joined the Baptists

You can order through L.D.S. library the complete set of records for this Quaker Meeting House. They might have the record you need to link your Abraham as being the son of Moses Sr.

If I can find the time today I will see if I have more in "MY BIG FILE" down in the basement. My late great-Uncle Hunter McKay exchanged a few letters with a woman who came down through this line.

Another book by Amelia C. Gibreath "Shenandoah County Virginia Abstracts of Wills 1772-1850 on page 164 the will of Jeremiah Odell dated 24 Jun 1777 was has two witnesses as Isaac McKay & Abraham McKay.

Her abtract of wills for Shenandoah Co. VA is a rather poor source. For she ONLY abracted wills in these will books (which you can order through L.D.S) library system.

There should be land division of Moses McKay/Mackay Sr. lands in these books which she did not abtract.

The locations which your line will find records will be in early Augusta Co. VA (not to be confused with modern day Augusta) and Shenandoah Co. VA.

Good luck.

My film covering wills of Shenandoah Co. VA 1772 to 1822 arrived. Will look at them on Monday.

Will be looking for McKay and other families.

Book D 322 dated 9 Apr 1794 Account executor of Isaac McKay, by Abraham McKay. list by items some may be interesting: "Sundries paid Elizabeth McKay as legacy 440 pounds (assuming his wife), John Atwood was paid 90 pounds, John Ford paid 90 pounds, named items expenses for the houshold, Jermiah McKay paid 44 pounds, 2 shilling "for clothing tax", Moses McKay proved account for 300 pounds, "one negroe slave & child value 2400 pounds (not named), Jeremiah McKay proved account 121 pounds & Abraham McKay proved account 4 pounds, 9 shillings. Dated 10 Apr 1794.

Book D 325 Orphans of Isaac McKay (not named) on account of their guardian Abraham McKay, expenses 51 pounds, Jeremiah McKay paid 20 pounds, 15 shillings,7 pence for tax, balance left orphans 44 pounds, 13 shillings, 3 1/4 pence.

What Mary Meritt is looking for, of course, one might assume the above men were the brothers of said Isaac dec'd. But to be sure the documents really does not state relationship.

I have other film to read.

Mary was solid documentation that Moses Sr. had children:

1. Isaac McKay, he is named in all legal records in connection with Fairfax Law Suit.

2. Abraham her line I have one Autosomal (mine) with another descend of this line. And Junior McKay Y sample matches one from James Sr. & Robert Jr. (Michael & Gerrard)

3. Jeremiah McKay he was JP for Shenandoah Co. VA, lots of information about him.

4. Moses McKay Jr. he removed to Clay Co. MO

5. Wm. McKay he sold his lands to Isaac Overall before removing from VA

6. Rachel McKay m-1 George Leath/Leith m-2 Wm. Lillard


I will be looking in the future for more documentation on above people and that includes Autosomal Matches.

I have 108 pages of DNA Matches on Ancestry that I am trying to get through.

Found Shenandoah Will Book A, page 263, Abram McKay (Mackay in body) & Edwin Young bound to the court to settle estate of Moses McKay, 50 pounds, dated 20 Nov 1780, signed Abram McKay & Edwin Young.
