The Gray County Heritage book has writeups on some of these Mackies. Page 392 and 393. There is an extensive writeup on John Mackie b1872 in NC, son of Robert Alexander. Sounds like yours. There are two John Sanford Mackies and all I can figure is that Robert Alexander had two wives. If you do not have this wonderful book, perhaps our webmaster would copy the pages and mail to you. Incidentally, my family was close friends with the Edd Mackie family. Edd appears to be one of the children of the second wife. Good luck, Mary Ann Becker Tipton -----Original Message----- From: John Payne <johnthepayne@yahoo.com> To: TXGRAY-L@rootsweb.com <TXGRAY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, September 24, 2000 3:28 PM Subject: [TXGRAY] MACKIE FAMILY >Posted on: Gray Co.
