Mackie - James and Elizabeth [nee - Buchanan] Mackie



When Arthur Frank Vanek and Mona Inez Leeson wed on August 31, 1949 they linked the following family trees, [Maternal ~ Muench and Leeson] [Paternal ~ Vanek and Gremaux].
 
I know very little family history of Captain James Mackie and Elizabeth Buchanan Mackie. Their children included  Elizabeth Mackie, James Mackie, Christian Mackie and Ellen Mackie.

The Mackie's eldest daughter, Elizabeth Mackie, was a housekeeper for Robert and Isabella Faith Murison, who had married on February 3, 1847.

Robert was a farmer in Smythyhill, Stricken, Scotland. Robert and Isabella had four children: Isabella Murison, born in 1848, Margaret Murison born in 1849, Mary Murison, born in 1851, and William Murison, born in 1853. I don't know the year of Isabella's death.

Widowed and with children to raise, Robert Murison (born in 1818 in Strichen) then married his housekeeper, Elizabeth Mackie, age 31, eldest daughter of James and Elizabeth Mackie.
