Loyalist Grants on Nashwaak River - Lots # 5 & 33 (Generations #12) His Estate (intestate) was administered by his son-in-law William H. CRAFT �314 Other McKENZIEs in the same regiment (42nd Highlanders) were Alexander, Donald and Roderick.�257 His obituarry in the New Brunswick Courier of 1 Dec 1832 states, " Died , Carleton (West Saint John) Tuesday, while dressing himself, John McKENZIE, age 85, Sergeant in the 42nd or Royal Highland Regiment in the Revolutionary War.Settled at Nashwaak,York Co.,when disbanded, later moving to this county." �258 After the Revolutionary War, a number of soldiers who had served for seven years in the war were granted land in the wilderness of New Brunswick on the Nashwaak, which empties into the St. John River opposite Fredericton. The officers were given land from the mouth of the river up for seventeen miles and from that up for about seven miles was granted to the 42nd Highlanders. One of the officers Lieutenant Dugald Campbell was a land surveyor and to him was entrusted the laying out of the soldier lots. He saw that though it was wilderness then that there was a beautiful spot at the mouth of the Tay Creek which empties into the Nashwaak. So he had surveyed the land and laid out for himself what is now the nine farms instead of taking his land with the rest of the officers farther down the river. This curtailed the soldiers lots and made them very small. The officer�s property did not do him much good. He did not live long and the property passed out of the hands of the second generation. Many of the soldiers sold their lots and went elsewhere. http://www.kanservu.ca/~richard/colter.html see father's notes _____________________________________________ From John Stevens<stevensj@gwi.net> Nashwaak Families do not mention, John McKenzie, Sr. Only mentions Alexander McKenzie who was a Loyalist. Through study of deeds I have found several other Loyalist McKenzies : William, Malcolm (who may have settled in Kings Co.), John, Roderick, Hugh and perhaps Archibald, Some of these could be Loyalsts or sons of Loyalists It appears that in 2 or3 deeds for John as Grantor that his wife is Joanna but as in all cases involving deeds where the wife signs off her right of Dower his wife signed off as Joanna McKenzie. I will quote these deeds a little later. Significant deeds for John McKenzie who moved to West Saint John (Lancaster): See York Co deed 13:122,dated 3 November 1826 Between Donald McKenzie of St. Marys Parish, York Co. and Jane his wife for the first part and John McKenzie of the Parish of Lancaster, Saint John Co." This is a Mortgage so this is why John is the grantee. Donald owes John 225 # " The land mortgaged are lots 97, 98 &99 bounded on the north and South by Alexander McKenzie (This establishes a relationship between John & Alexander McKenzie and Donald as well. Since Alexander had a son Donald. We don�t know if Donald was a son of Donald or Alexander. I tend to believe since the Mortgage was never discharged that Donald was Alexander�s son. This deed has the wording that if Donald or heirs should meet the condition of paying off 111# then this instrument becomes null and void. I don�t understand why the land was sold for 225 # and why the payoff is only 111#. There was an earlier deed between John & Donald namely 8:282. BUT, it is extremely hard to read. The deed was written between 1815-1919 based on the PANB Film # (F-5619) John McKenzie and wife are from York Co, and John is defined as a Senior. The deed improves to the point where it states that we are dealing with lots 97,98 &99 same as deed 13:122. It also mentions land to the north owned by Alexander McKenzie. I noticed that there was a statement that John was granted this land as the result of his being a Discharged soldier of the disbanded 42th regiment. Could not make out anything further except it looked as if John McKenzie�s wife signed her name as Johanna. Deed 1;147 John McKenzie and wife Joanna sold farm to Samuel Casey 100acres on the 12 November 1796 (Lot#2) for 5 #.. It looks like to me that John McKenzie and his family were of Lancaster Parish before 1820. One other thing: since Donald McKenzie had a wife Jane and the Nashwaak Families tell us Donald�s wife was Janet McNabb. I believe John McKenzie was dealing with his nephew, Donald and not his son. �425 He married Joanna __?__, About 1787. 23 Joanna �425 __?__. Info name on deeds with husband �425.

    3. Would anyone know if there is any documented proof that the Samuel Clark who died in Portland (Saint John) ............' Samuel CLARK ®3. Born Circa 1780 ®63. Died 23 Oct 1818 ®63 in Saint John,NB®7. Religion Baptist.'............... was the son of William Clark & Ruth Peckham - the last RI census for them (1779) does not list a son named Samuel.
