Sabina, OH, Jan 14, 1896
Miss Abbie M. McKay
New Burlington, Ohio

Kind Cousin: Your letter of the 10 th ult. To my sister, Mrs. Mary Bottenfield has been referred to me for answer. Mrs. Bottenfield is not very well, and I have the most complete record of any of our folks, and have taken the deepest interest in the matter hence I cheerfully do the best I can and send our record. My record of the McKay family differs from yours at the very out set. I will however start with yours, and you will readily see wherein the difference lies. It occours to me if we are of the same branch, you have omitted one Job. For your starter, viz. Robt. McKay "came to America late in the 17 th Century." Now this is a long stretch to be covered easily by three generations, isn’t it? Hence my thought of a missing link.

But to proceed:

I have delayed this so long in waiting for Mrs. Made Syfers, of Leescreek, Centerville, Clinton co. O to send a report she promised. She has not done so and I submit this without hers. She is a daughter of James McKay, see p. 4 of this letter, IV 1 st wife, d.

I hope this will be satisfactory to you and help you out somewhat with your record. My P.O. will be changed soon to Cuba Clinton co. O Please address me there after next week. I have bought a small farm and will probably be able to attend some of the future McKay-Collett picnics. In the mean time, if I can assist you any in clearing up and perfecting our records I shall be pleased to do so when ever asked.

Please allow me to hereby extend an invitation to you and other cousins to call on us at our home whenever it may be convenient for you to do so.

Very truly, J.M. McKay

P.S. If anything herein is not clear I will try and clarify it if you’ll ask.

Penciled not on back of last page. The within is the record of the family of Jobe McKay of Scotland. We descend from the family of Robert of Scotland. Job and Robert were probably brothers but we are not certain of this, we know this much the families are distant relations.
