Thank you so very much for posting this incredible bit of information that intertwines the McKenneys in early Kent County with the Lorains, McCleans, Ingrams, Findleys and many others. Now I can make some sense out of all those documents that I found . . . . that are related to McKenneys in Kent County.
It is interesting that one author that you quoted said ". . . all of Malcolm’s descendants of the name still live within a hundred miles of Piney Neck, the small plantation on the Isle of Kent, to which he brought his bride annika, more than three hundred years ago."
Since the original immigrant arrived as a prisoner (of sorts) having been expelled from England/Scotland for his political acitivies, he did not arrive with his family whether brother, cousins or whatever. But I wonder whether or not others of his McKenney family didn't follow him here. How many male McKenneys living today could actually claim this family as theirs???
Looking at the five or so generations that you have given us information about, I would say that there was a great deal of infant or child mortality in this family and that there were not large numbers of children (much less boys) who survived to adulthood. That would certainly decrease the possibility of finding living McKenneys related to this line.
It also looks as though this line is a McKenzie . . . . assuming that the research published by Anna (McKenney) Dorsey is correct!
Thank you again for posting the results of your hard earned research!
