To E.Carter, In North Carolina Wills Index 1665 - 1900 by Thornton Mitchell is a will for a John McKenzie 1846. in Cumberland Cty.Formed 1754 from Bladen Cty.It says a few wills were recorded in Deed Book 1 about 1760,but regular recording of wills did not begin until 1797 when Will Book A was initiated.Some originals are missing.John's will appears in Will Book-C pg.134 at the courthouse in Cumberland and original at the State Archives.Could this be the same John?Every- one did not leave a will but all who die have a probate.Maybe you should write Cumberland to see if Kenneth McKinzie had a probate.Maybe that is why he disappears from the census.Even when a person leaves nothing of value there is still an administrator and usually a relative.Might discover something to move you along.
