Message Board Post:
Looking for information on members of the Clancy and McKenzie families who lived in Manhattan during the 1860s through 1890s. Recently received the interment list for a grave at Calvary Cemetery in Queens, NY. The grave contained 13 folks, 6 Clancys (Kate, age 25; Thomas, age 6 mos.; John, age 35; Annie, age 1; Hanora, age 64; William, age 1) and 7 McKenzies (Catharine, age 7 mos.; Mary, age 34; Joseph, age 1 mos; Rosanna, age 1; William, age 20; James, age 25; Arthur; age 6 mos). How all these folks are related is a bit sketchy.
I do know that John McKenzie, born about 1843 Scotland, emigrated to US in early 1860s. While living in Manhanttan (New York City), he met and married Mary Clancy (b. 1841 Ireland, d. 1875 Manhattan). They had 7 children: John, James, Mary, William, Catharine, Hanora, and Joseph. When Mary Clancy McKenzie died in 1875 following the birth of her son Joseph, John married German-born Anna Meyer and had four more children: Alexander, Oscar, Madeline "Lena," and Rosanna.
Of John McKenzie and Mary Clancy's children, only John, James, William, and Hanora lived to the age of 20 or older. The other 3 children died young. Of those who survived, none had any children who lived to adulthood.
Of John McKenzie and Anna Meyer's children, only Alexander and Madeline lived to adulthood. Both had children ... and eventually grandchildren.
I would very much like to contact anyone who may have additional information about the Clancy family.
