NOTE: the parentage has not been proven at this time; she certainly could be
     the child of Robert & Mary (Gardiner) McKay of Summerhill Twp, as they were
     having children at that time period and a female child, who could have been
     Mary, is listed in the Robert McKay household, Summerhill Twp in 1830 & 1840
     She is not mentioned in the will or codicil of Robert McKay, dated 1847,
     proved 1857, however.
NOTE: Difficult to read dates on t.s.; probably the reason for the conflicting
