Christine and all: There was some discussion earlier on the book Golspie's Story and I meant to send an email then, but didn't. There is a William McKenzie listed in the "List of the People of Golspy that Contributed for the Support of Government on May 24, 1798." This William is listed under the place name of "Uppat." My William McKenzie would have been approx. 27 years of age in 1798. His first child was christened in Scotary in 1802 so it seems as if he lived in that area at that time. He emigrated with his wife and one child from Kintradwell in 1803. Would it be likely that this reference to this William McKenzie might be my guy? I have not been able to find any other William McKenzies in the area at that time, although I will admit my searching ability is somewhat limited. There is one other William McKenzie in Golspie's Story, but definitely a different individual. Any suggestions anyone?

Dear Cathy, Do you, by any chance, have a Donald McKenzie, born around 1826-1830 in the Golspie area.
