I am going to muddy the water here a bit. Have been following this exchange with much interest although there is no connection to my line or collaterals. You wrote - Susan Macking Someone else wrote that there were Mackenin women (something like this) on the Ship Allen. Now, I had thought at one point that someone was feminizing Mack - making a Mackinen (however) - meaning women of Mack's group - BUT - since this surname of Macking has been tossed into the mix, could this Susan Macking been with a group of women and therefore the group was referred to as the Machenin (Macking) women? Just an observation - like I said, I am muddying the waters...
