There is no doubt Chesley (#2??) wife Elizabeth was Cherokee. Chesley has a colorful history and was known as an "intruder" into Indian lands in the Ocowee. He was burnt out twice by the military in what became McMinn Co., TN. His children who remained in Monroe Co., TN were known to be Indian. I believe Mary McKenzie was by a first wife and not Cherokee, nor was her brother Absolum Harrison McKenzie who moved from Georgia to Alabama and died in Calhoun Co., MS. I corresponded years ago with Bee & Scott McKenzie on this family. Scott is desc. from Chesley's dau Louisa who had no husband and at least 8 children who were known to be Indian and he has done extensive research into this family.

Chesley McKenzie died in Monroe Co. March 1838 per court records and his widow Elizabeth went with Absolum to Randolph Co., AL and died there.

John married Mary Margaret McLearan. Mary was born about 1755 in Renfrewshire, Scotland; died on 30 Sep 1852 in South Carolina; was buried in Inverness Cemetery, York, Livingston County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
