- IGI, one source, lists him as Moses Green McKay. And Bill Jobe lists him as Moses ?Green
Bill Jobe's Letter to JET
"Birth of Moses McKay? Mary Job, his wife, was born sometime between 1727 and 1740; I believe she was the fourth child of his first wife, Sara Gatchell who married Abraham Job 24 September 1725; perhaps she was born ca 1735, which means Moses was also possibly born ca. 1735, if he died in 1780, which would make him only 45 at the time, with 6 children. I would think he was born earlier, as Quakers married later in life than others.
"1752, August 20 Moses McKay pays for counter security for Barbara Job Leath (Widow of Caleb Job) and Ephriam Leath, Administrators of Caleb Job.
"William Cooke was the agent for Moses McKay in the settlement of the Grant suit with Lord Fairfax. (Andrew McKay was appointed agent for the Robert McKay Family.)
"Enos McKay bought the interest of Moses and Jacob in the Grant Suit (the one against Fairfax)
"1780 Moses McKay, son of Grantee (Robert McKay) died; his son Abraham was his administrator, but his son Isaac was Heir at law and died since 1800"
July 20, 1956 letter from Hunter B. McKay to Joshua Booten Taylor:
"This past spring we came across a very valuable record of the McKay Family in the Virginia Historical Society (See File 415, Abstracts from the Green Collection.) It seems that a Mr. Thomas Green, an attorney, was interested, in 1823, in locating the heirs of Robert McKay for some legal purposes growing out of the suit of McKay, Hite, Duff, and Green against Lord Fairfax, and drew up at that time a table showing most of the descendants of Robert McKay, including children, grandchildren and some great-grandchildren.
"This record shows quite clearly that your family and the Comptons are connected with the McKays thru Moses, son of Robert Sr. rather than thru Robert Jr., the son from whom I am descended...."
Hunter B. McKay. The McKay's and Allied Families, p. 232
"Moses McKay...served in the Frederick Co Va Militia in Capt. Henry Speak's Co., and his name appears on the Muster Roll dated 28 Oct 1756/60.
"Quoting from the Quaker records and the Hopewell Friends History (p. 99) ' 1751, Record of Wm. Reckitt at or near Crooked Run : We had a meeting at Crooked Run, 22 miles South of Hopewell on the first day, the 18 of the 12 mo. It was a good meeting. On the second day we set forward through the woods and over the hills and rocks, crossing several large creeks. We came in the evening to Moses Mackoy, and had a meeting there next day. They were an unsettled people, yet assented to truth ; but were not fully convinced in their minds concerning the sufficiency of it ; having an eye to outward shadows. I left them in good will.'
"The Quaker records also show 'Moses Mckay having near 20 years ago been married and by reason of being remot it 'slipt the notis' of Friends until lately'"
