In the 1860's, Christopher MacKenzie and his brothers John and William moved from Middlesex to Petrolia, Ontario, where they set up a dry goods business. (Mackenzie & Bros.) (mywebpage.netscape.com....kenzie.htm)
NB. Both John MacKenzie and Barbara Mackay are candidates for our family tree but, there are too many John MacKenzie s in Scotland to be able to sort out who belongs to wh (mywebpage.netscape.com....kenzie.htm)
It is NOT KNOWN FOR SURE if his name was derived from Mackenzie. It could have been derived from any similar sounding name, i.e. MacKinnon, MacKean, etc. However, I do tend to agree with most authorities that John Mackenny's name was most likely derived from Mackenzi (members.tripod.com....kenny.html)
Decades after John Mackenny settled in New England, the original Gaelic pronunciation & spelling became used less frequently with the English influence of a "Z" sound which standardized the pronunciation as well as the basic spelling of the MacKenzie clan name in Scotland, America, Canada & elsewhere.

Some descendants from Maryland during the late 1800's claimed that John Mackenny of Scarborough, Maine was from the ISLE OF SKYE, INVERNESS, SCOTLAND , however, no documented evidence can be found. Skye was a stronghold of the MacKinnon Clan, however, the Mackenzie Clan had a large stronghold in Inverness just a few miles east on the mainland. During the 1600s, families associated with Mackenzies & Mackinnons as well as other clans most likely drifted into various other areas outside of their traditional strongholds. It seems likely our John Mackenny resided in this Inverness area of the western highlands & isles, however, it is possible that he or his family drifted farther south into the Galloway area. The specific area of Scotland where he originated will probably never be proven (members.tripod.com....kenny.html)

"This is the work of the hammer: to break us open," writes John MacKenzie in this eloquent debut. His poems draw upon his Maritime roots-the earthy talk and wry humor; the daily grind of physical labor; the tug of family ties (www.abebooks.com....2008.shtml)

Charles McLennan was the only shipbuilder constructing ships in the first years of the century and these were schooners of less than 500 tons. He lost his entire fortune in a stock market crash in 1910 and it seemed that shipbuilding in River John was at an end. Then came the great war and an unparalleled destruction of British and allied shipping. Vessels were in desperately short supply and there was even a market for wooden ships. While a great many of the young men of the village were serving in the army overseas, there were still a few aged ship carpenters living in the village and there were still men in the hills who knew how to get out the knees, planking and hardwood timber. Archibald MacKenzie built the Cambrai, named for one of the great battlefields of the war and Charles McLennan sold one of his few remaining assets, a woodlot and with the proceeds built a small schooner, the Cyril T and then the larger Mary F. Anderson. This was the last wooden ship to be built in River Joh (www.tata.ns.ca/history.php)
