Donald Mackay’s first wife, died in childbirth. It was 29th January 1795 and the child’s name was Angus. War with Ireland had been declared and Donald, a widower with a young son, had already enlisted. He had to find a mother for the boy and this he did. Donald married Janet MacLeod of Lettermore, 12 days after the death of his wife.
Janet reared Angus as her own while Donald, who had joined the Reay Fencibles, fought with great valour at the Battles of Tara Hill and Balim-muck, and was away for four years.
Donald returned home in 1799, it was not long before he started his new family.
Donald’s son - now Angus Snr. was just twenty years old and married to Jane Clark when he was a drummer at Waterloo (1815).
From the Register of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen Scotland: Angus McKay of the 78th Regiment-of-Foot and Jane Clark in Aberdeen, daughter of Henry Clark, house servant in Middlesex, in the presence of Sergeant - McKay and Donald Fraser, both in the same Regiment”.
In those days it was the custom for wives to travel with their husbands, thus, Jane went to Waterloo with Angus Snr.
The actual Battle Field at Waterloo, in Belgium, is preserved. So many soldiers died there. The Battle Field may not be farmed or tilled in any way - and has been left, just as it was after the battle storm had passed.
Later, whilst stationed in Brussels their son, Angus Jr. B1 was born at Ostend on 4.12.1816. He was baptised by the Chaplain to the Forces at Ostend on 11/2/1817
Other children came along. Elizabeth B2 b. 1818 in Westmeath, Ireland, and Margaret B3 b. 1820. Then another daughter, Helen Calder Mackay, B4 baptised in 1822 - but as she did not emigrate to Australia in 1838, it was assumed Helen died - then, sadly, Jane died sometime between 1823-1825.
When Angus Snr died in1894, it was stated that Jane gave him five children. If there was a fifth child, B5 name unknown, probably died, perhaps in infancy.
Angus Jr. B1 is the Code B1 in the Mackay book, came to Australia on the James Moran
Records show that he arrived in Sydney on 1.12.1839. Angus Jnr married 18 year old Jane McMillan b. 1928 Scotland - Arrived in Australia 9/4/1938 on the Minerva- m. on 1.3.1845 at the house of her father in Dungog.
Jane and Angus Jr. had ten children…seven of which were born at Hatfield Park, Williams River, Dungog. B11 Angus b. 25.2.1846 B12 Jane b.5.2.1848. B13 Martha b. 6.11.1849 B14 Jessie Ellen b. 3.11.1851. B15 Alexander b. 8.10.1853. B16 Robert b. 27.11.1855. B17 Margaret (Maggie) b. 12.5.1858. B18 Hugh 11.12.1862.
B19 Elizabeth b. 30.12.1865. B1Z Henry (Harry) was the 10th and youngest child of Jane and Angus Jr. b. posthumously on 25.5.1869 - Angus Jr died 22.5.1869 thus, he never saw his 10th child.
This Angus Jnr and Jane McMillan marriage started an entirely different line of the Mackays…different to that of his father, Angus Snr, who is our line.
Angus Snr. returned to Aberdeen where he met and later married Christina Mackay. They were married in St. Nicholas’ Church, the very same church where he had married Jane Clark. About 1825/26.
About 1831, the family moved to Farr; later they moved to Strathy Point, to Clare and Armadale. Farr and the Kyle of Tongue are only around the coastal corner from each other and, when word arrived about joining a Farmers’ Scheme for New South Wales, put forward by the Governor of the Colony, Lachlan Macquarie, Angus took advantage of the enterprise.
He lowered his age to the acceptable limit of 40 years (so it is said?) was accepted and immigrated with his family to Australia on the SS James Moran , arriving in 1839.
Of factual necessity, the Australian Mackay history starts in Scotland. The recurrence of identical Christian names can confound the reader who is not familiar with the Mackay clan. Further, the marriage of a Mackay to a Mackay, perpetuated a mixture of identical naming taken from parents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, thus making the tracing of the family line and exacting task.
Sometimes birth dates and Baptism dates conflict. Again - we have verbal/memory/actual conflict in information which has to be sorted to gain correct information.
Here we start with the line already mentioned - Donald Mackay - the widower left with a young son, Angus, and his second marriage on 10.2.1795 to Janet MacLeod
There five children of this marriage, and included is the 6th and eldest son Angus.

Here, we get McKay and Mackay - the spelling does not differentiate the families…
Our mother was Mackay and her brother, McKay!
Also we have established the Queensland Connection as - with most of the Mackay clan, they were established on the North Coast of NSW.

Hugh Mackenzie Mackay B9 b. c 1834 Sutherlandshire, Scotland.

Hugh McKenzie Mackay was born about 1834 in Sutherlandshire, Scotland and arrive in Australia with his parents Angus and Christina Mackay on the ship James Moran from Lochinvar in 1839
Hugh Married Janet Matheson, the daughter of Alexander and Mary Matheson (nee Kennedy) on 25.2.1857 at St. Joseph's Church, East Maitland. (NSW). Janet was born at Inverness in Scotland in 1835 and came out with her parents on the ship Asia which arrived in Australia in 1839.
It was thought Hugh and Janet traveled north with Alexander and Barbara Mackay, as their first child was born at Glen Esk, Rollands Plains (NSW) in 1857. From there, they moved to Fraser's Creek in the Wauchope District where Hugh had a property, and they resided there for the remainder of their lives. Hugh also worked as a teamster as did most of his sons.
Hugh died on 17.3.1912 and was buried at the Crossroads Cemetery at Wauchope. Janet died the same year on 4.11.1912 and was buried at Beechwood.
They had 11 children,
Angus, Alexander, Christina, James, Mary Kennedy, Robert, William, Duncan Forbes, Hugh McKenzie and Archibald.

Jane died on 16.12.1902 and was buried at Beechwood. She left behind her 9 children, ranging in ages from 19 years to 19 months, some of who were cared for by their Grandmother, Janet Mackay while others went to live with their Aunts.
After the death of Jane, Angus traveled further north, where he married his second wife, Mary Stevenson. For a time he worked in areas from Bowraville to Coff's Harbour, before eventually residing in Gympie where Angus and Mary reared their 7 children.
Angus died on 4.8.1929 at Gympie and was buried in the Old Gympie Cemetery.
After Angus’ death, Mary married his cousin (B7Z) Robert Mackay (widower).
Mary died on 29.5.1958 and was buried in the old Gympie Cemetery
Note; Angus spelt his name Mackay, and its variation was found written in his Bible but all of his first family spelt their surname McKay
Angus had a total of 16 children, of whom Jessie Gaddes Mackay was the 11th child.
Janet reared Angus as her own while Donald, who had joined the Reay Fencibles, fought with great valour at the Battles of Tara Hill and Balim-muck, and was away for four years.
Donald returned home in 1799, it was not long before he started his new family.
Donald’s son - now Angus Snr. was just twenty years old and married to Jane Clark when he was a drummer at Waterloo (1815).
From the Register of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen Scotland: Angus McKay of the 78th Regiment-of-Foot and Jane Clark in Aberdeen, daughter of Henry Clark, house servant in Middlesex, in the presence of Sergeant - McKay and Donald Fraser, both in the same Regiment”.

Mary died on 29.5.1958 and was also buried in the old Gympie Cemetery.
Here, we get McKay and Mackay - the spelling does not differentiate the families…
Our mother was Mackay and her brother, McKay!
Also we have established the Queensland Connection as - with most of the Mackay clan, they were established on the North Coast of NSW.
