McKenzie's of Benton County,MS

My McKenzie roots are also in Benton Co MS. My gg grandparents were Andrew & Martha McKenzie. My g grandparens were Forbes & Dora Aldridge McKenzie. From Andrew's will, I've found that Forbes had sister's named Christina & Louise. Apparently there was a brother because a grandson, Jethro McKenzie, was also named in the will, but was not Forbes' son. Forbes had 3 sons - Earl Wayne (my grandfather), Presley & James (Jim). I'm desperately seeking info on all of these, especially the parentage of Andrew & Martha. They both came here from Scotland. Don't know if they were married yet or not. I THINK they may have met in LaGrange TN and then moved to Benton Co MS.
