    3. Is your question 'where's Zorra?' or 'where's this grave?' If the former, Zorra Township is in Oxford County. If the latter, OCFA shows loads of McKAY's and MacKAY's in Old Log Church cemetery, Zorra West, Oxford and in Vandicar, House of Refuge, and East Zorra Baptist cemeteries, Zorra East, Oxford. Maybe these are places to start.
