I think this is your line. I entered Mary Alice from your information in order to get all ancestors. This is from my working database. It is not "ready for publication." It will probably need considerable editing as to read as it should. I have 8 children for John and Mary and none for Aaron and Priscilla. I would appreciate your sharing this information with me.

She had a child named Mary Ann about 1721 in Baltimore Co., MD. Note: Mary Ann and James are not listed as children in Baltimore Co., MD. Because of the evidence, it appears that Mary Ann is a daughter. I have changed my mind about James and decided he probably is a grandson - after considerable study. The only record linking him to John Mackelroy we have for him is that he witnessed a deed. I believe he is a grandson. It will take me a while to retrace my thoughts as to how I came to this conclusion. However, I have an open mind and will discuss if anyone is interested.
