Hi Paul:
I'm looking for a John O. McKenzie, supposedly born in NY perhaps around 1820 or earlier. His wife, Mary (surname possibly Bess) and four children were living in Missouri as of the 1850 fed census for St. Francois County, MO. John was not listed in the household for this census and Mary remarried in 1851 to Adam Beck. After years of research, we are unable to locate birth or death records for John or Mary, nor birth records for their four children, Elizabeth (b. 1840?), Caroline (b. 1843?), Sarah (b. 1848?) or William Christopher (b. 1846?), who were all supposedly born in MO. Perhaps John hightailed it back to the northeast and started a new family?
