So FamilySearch is the sources of information, yet on FamilySearch GENI is its source.

Death. According to History of the MacKenzies Colin was killed at Killearnan in 1704. Not Maryland.

The death date on FamilySearch was corrected a few months ago.

Some of the children list here are not mentioned in Historys.

While different profiles, his son John is listed in History as having no trace, But his profile on here has him dying in Maryland. Then you have Colins, father Roderick 3rd also listed as dying in Maryland.

The McKenzies of Early Maryland PDF helps to clear up the issue.

There is no one individual called Colin Malcolm Mackenzie. It is three. people Collin/Collins/Malcolm.

As none of the profiles managers seem interested in addressing the issue with Colin and his father Roderick, Private User are you able to assist?

Maybe.

We need reliable sources; let's see what I can find.

This is from 1798, and is compiled from info in many different sources, none of which are cited directly:

This is in a list of members of the Scottish Parliament up until 1882:

This particular Colin Mackenzie died in the parish of Killearnan, Ross and Cromarty, in 1704.

He did not go to Maryland.

As to the Maryland business:

Colin's son John, who is attested to in the MacKenzie genealogy, is the only child of Colin's listed on Geni to have anything to do with Maryland. Maryland is not present in the MacKenzie genealogy (anywhere, under any name; I looked). John, in that genealogy, is "of whom there is no trace," leading me to believe that giving John the son of Colin any information at all is Highly Suspect.

However!

Was there a John McKenzie, in Maryland, who died in 1733 in St. Mary's County?

Yes, yes, there was.

His Wikitree entry says not only that his parentage is unknown, but that DNA evidence shows that he is not the son of Colin and Isabel.

So he needs to be detached from them.

Thank You for your help. Unfortunately, I cant make the changes myself.

It is clear that the managers won't make the changes themselves.
