"I did not find James and Amy's marriage in Illinois either and I think this is the reason. George McKenzie, son of Roderick McKenzie, nephew of Sir Alexander McKenzie of Sascatchuwan Povince, Canada, was a member of the Hudson Bay Co like Alex and Roderick. There's a book on the life of Sir Alexander you should be able to get at your library. They were Scots, of course, and George came to the U.S. to establish a fur trading post in TN. I'll send you what I have on this. It is amazing to me how our ancestors romped around over great distances under the most extenuous circumstances like we go to the grocery store.... George, while still trekking back and forth to Canada, stopped in White Co., IL and stayed. At the time James and Amy married the border of Northern IL counties was not clear. Amy told mother she was born in Indiana, so we may find them there. I haven't looked yet."
