Maternal Families - McKenzie
Part four of the maternal families is the McKenzie family. This group will undoubtedly be the subject of my next blog, as it is my mother's paternal family. The spelling of McKenzie is quite varied, as I have found it spelled multiple ways. For instance: MacKenzie, McKinsey, McKinsie, McKinzie, and so on.
The McKenzie family, as far as my research has allowed up to this point, begins with Daniel McKenzie. Though it is likely his ancestors arrived from Scotland, Daniel was born in Kentucky at the beginning of the 19th century. Daniel McKenzie married Mariah Storm around 1827, in Kentucky (and likely in Greyson Co.). She was the daughter of Peter Storm and Annie Lehman, born around1812. They had ten children: sons George (1829), Samuel (1832), George (1834), and Richard (1838), daughter Sarah (1840), sons Marion (1842), John (1844) Peter (1846), and daughters Hester (1850) and Georgana (1853).
Peter D. McKenzie was born April 1846, in Kentucky, and later moved to Warrick County, Indiana, sometime around 1870. He married Louisa J. Ricketts, 01 January 1874, in that county. They had two sons, James Garfield (1879) and William Madison (1881). A
fter Lou's death, Peter married two more times.
The youngest of Peter and Louisa's children was William Madison McKenzie, born 2 January 1881, in Gibson Co., Indiana. He married Clyda Skelton (born 14 june 1882, in Gibson Co.) on 11 December 1904, in Princeton. They had three children: Lottie Marie (1905), Ray Defount(1908) and Lloyd Robert (1913). William died 30 August 1936, in Princeton, and Clyda died 4 March 1976, in Princeton.
Ray Defount McKenzie was born 20 July 1908, in Somerville, Gibson, Indiana. He married 31 October 1926, in Vincennes, Knox, Indiana, to Oleva Pearl Dossett, born 16 Octobr 1907, Union, Pike, Indiana. They had three children: William Robert (1929), Dorcas Anne (1932) and Rebecca Lu (1948). Ray died 20 October 1978, and Oleva died 25 September 1981, both in Princeton.
Their third child and second daughter, Rebecca Lu McKenzie first married David Blythe Hutchison, 4 February 1967. They had a son, David Cloyd, 20 December 1967, in Princeton. However, they divorced by 1969. Becky later met James William Woodburn and married 30 May 1971, in Oakland City, Gibson, Indiana. Tog
ether they had two children: Janelle Elizabeth (1974), and Jason Kyle (1976). You can read more about Jim and Becky in future posts titled James William Woodburn and Rebecca Lu McKenzie Woodburn.
