John settled in Kinderhook, New York and was married to a Mary Taylor (born 1745- daughter of John and Christina Taylor). Their children were Nancy (born 1772), Alexander (born 1774) Daniel (born 1778) and Jane (born 1781). All the children were born at Kinderhook. The original researcher of this information had a note in her documents that spoke of a John McKenzie - son of Alexander baptised 19 May 1721 in Tain, Ross Shire but her research did not show a tie to this ancestry - just a note that this would be a point for further research. During the Revolutionary War, this McKenzie family were Loyalists for the British side. The children left New York in the late 1780s and settled in the Hastings County area of Ontario (called Upper Canada in the 18th Century). I am hoping to seek connection for this John McKenzie back to Scotland Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
