[MACKENZIE] Mc KENZIE [Mc KINSEY. ]
WILLIAM1 MCKENZIE, whose name is spelled MAC KENZIE, McKIN- ZEY, and McKINSEY, lived for thirteen years, 1790 to 1803, upon the farm at 186, which was the east end of the later Hemenway or Wm. H. Bates farm. His wife was Mary (or " Molly "). The births of two of their ch. were recorded in S. Perhaps they had others that were older. Possibly younger ones were not recorded. These two were the following : 1. Polly2, b. in S., at 186, Feb. 27, 1792; 2. George Leonard2, b. in S., at 186, Feb. 28, 1795. The McKinzeys went from S. to Elizabethtown, Lincoln Co., N. Y. We have no further record of them. We know nothing of the birth, death, or parentage of either Mr. or Mrs. McKinzey.
(MACLEOD)
McLEOD.
1. THOMAS1 McLEOD, of whose birth, parentage, and death we know nothing, m., May 29, 1796, in Lancaster, Mass., by Rev. Nathaniel Thayer, Alice Wilder, b. in Lancaster, Apr. 8 (bapt. Apr 10!), 1774 ; dau. of Samuel and Martha (Rugg) Wilder. She was a relative of Elijah Rugg (grandfather of Hon. D. W. Rugg) On Sept. 6, 1798, Mr. McLeod bought of Elijah Rugg the place whose house then stood at 127 (there were two later ones on the place) known as the Pompey Woodward place. He mortgaged it, Apr. 1, 1806, to Ebeeezer Kendall, another relative of Mrs. McLeod, and did not redeem the mortgage. Mr. Kendall sold it, July 7, 1807 to Pompey Woodward, a negro. The McLeods remained, however, about two or more years longer, probably on this place. Mr. and Mrs. McLeod joined the First Cong. Ch. of S., Jan. 18, 1801, by letter from the First Ch. of Lancaster. He was a cooper as well as farmer. We do not know where the McLeods went from S., nor when nor where they died. Records furnish the names of six ch. : 1. David2, b. in Lancaster, Mass., Sept. 21, 1796. 2. Martha Wilder2 (called " Patty "), bapt. in Lancaster (with the preceding), Oct. 14, 1798, probably b. the same year. 3.
