The Descendants of John MacKay & Janet MacKendrick
When Bonnie MacKay House first made her submission, "The MacKay family of Malpeque/Darnley" to this forum, she stated, "Research into the first generation has uncovered two possible sets of parents. Histories of Malpeque, Darnley and Sea View as well as family tradition, name Neil McKay and his wife, Rose (Cameron). The town history of Hamilton, family letters, donated secondary material at the Archives, and family tradition from another branch of the family, name the parents as John McKay and Janet McKendrick. As yet, we have been unable to locate conclusive primary material to confirm either possibility."
While the desired primary material may not have been identified, the weight and diversity of secondary sources indicates that John MacKay and Janet MacKendrick were the parents. Under "MacKendrick," see the "Descendants of Laughlin MacKendrick and Rachel Galbraith." Further, primary source material confirms that Neil could not have been the progenitor as he was the youngest sibling in said progenitor�s family � over twenty years younger that his two oldest brothers, John and Edward.
Lesser controversies continue. As one Neill MacKay is listed on the 1771 manifest of the Edinburgh, this could well be the root of the Malpeque tradition mentioned above. However, The Church of Latter Day Saints� International Genealogical Index lists Neill�s wife as Annie Carmichall, not Rose Cameron, and his parents as John MacKay and Katherine White. Also under "MacKay," see the "Descendants of John MacKay and Katherine White." Further confusion exists because, in addition to the three John MacKays just mentioned, a fourth John (parents unknown) was born just ten days before John, the brother of Edward and Neil. This fourth John married Flora MacLean, daughter of the MacLean progenitors. Also under "MacKay," see the "Descendants of John MacKay and Flora MacLean." We know that all of these families came from the Campbeltown area of Scotland and believe that they were interrelated but, as yet, have found no evidence to support this contention. We do know that they intermarried in PEI.
Without the initial research by Bonnie MacKay House and the assistance of many others, this work on the MacKays would not have been possible. Additional information on any of these families would be most welcome. Thank you!
