Duff & his nephew Robert Green, came from in the "Old County", silence with our Robert MacKay Sr. If this law suit had stated Robert's birth place, then we would know his origins in 1952, then my great-uncle Hunter Branson McKay abtracted & compiled the document. If you had ancestors that purchased lands from McKay/Hite/Green or Lord Fairfax you will want to view this document. Some of the early land grant giving to these people were done by a hand shake and no land deed was issued. I have only one copy left of this work. After that you will have to view the work on film through L.D.S. library or if your local library has a exchange policy with State of VA you can view the work that way. From land deeds from present Cecil Co. MD, we know that Robert Mackay Sr. came from Freehold, Monmouth Co. NJ in 1730's. Robert met his future partners in the PA/MD area. I think Robert might have a connection with the Quaker clerk John MacKay. And his first wife Ann Brown some connection with John Brown a store keeper of early Freedhold, NJ.
