MacKillop
McKillips
McKellips
This is by no means a complete outline of the David I MacKillop (McKillips, McKellips) family to present day but it is an outline of my roots from my 6th great-grandfather to my father, including a few entries about some of the brothers or sisters of these ancestors of mine.
FIRST, I must tell you that David II McKillips was my 5th great-grandfather. He lived in NH in 1747 with his wife *Ann (?) and their 5 children: David III (b12-26-1735 in Chester, NH), Samuel I, Sarah, Mary and Ann.
He begins the American part of our family. Though his father did arrive here in America around 1707.
*First major question: What was Ann's maiden name?
*Trying to answer the first major question: Some think that Ann's maiden name may have been Tylor because one child born at Holland, NY to Arthur and Abigail was named David Tylor (b 10-22-1822).
Some propose that Ann may have been an Indian.
Samuel I born 9-22-1747 in Chester, NH was my 4th great-grandfather. In 1772 he married Mary Terrill. She was born 9-8-1754 in NH.. They had 7 children.: David IV, Stephen I, Mary, Sarah, Arthur, Samuel II, and Phoebe. Samuel I died 7-23-1836 in Bradford, VT. Mary died 4-26-1830 in Bradford, VT.
Therefore, the David II McKillips family originated in the NH area and settled around Chester, NH. I am interested in David II's roots. David II died 6-30-1756 in Salem, NH.
Any information that would help me trace his roots would be greatly appreciated. Also if you would like more information, please contact me. My e-mail address:imiller96@aol.com
I am hoping to link my web site to web sites that relate to the genealogy outline. If you have a place on the web that would be interesting to those searching for more information on these branches of our MacKillop, McKillips, McKellips tree, please let me know I'd love to link up with your web site.
OUR FAMILIES ARE CONNECTED IN THIS WEB.
UPDATE: (4-9-97) I have recently received information about David II McKillips from a source on the Roots Web Page . This person ends up being a distant cousin and a descendant of Samuel I, also. Our families take separate branches after Samuel I. Mine follows David IV and hers follows Arthur his brother.
Her family handed down this information: David I McKillop (McKillip, McKillips) was in New Hampshire as early as 1740. Some members of the New Hampshire family (living in Henniker) say that they came from Londondery, Ireland and that his son, David II, was born on the ocean. There is no proof for this statement. David II's birth being recorded at Chester, NH as 1709. It is assumed, however, that the McKillop family went from near Castle Stirling, Scotland to protestant Ireland (counties of Antrim and Londonderry) long before any members of the family came to America.
This information lends credence to our Scotch-Irish roots.
I believe we have the luck of the Irish with us.
(Fall 1997) Art McKellips, a wood carver, who lives in Oregon has done a carving of a highlander titled "The Keppoch's Are Rising" and has donated it to the West Highland Museum in Fort William, Scotland.
This is a picture representing Art's talent. You can visit his web site by clicking on this: Art's Web Site
Our roots are connected to the Clan McDonnell of Keppoch of Scotland which contains the sept of MacKillop and we are also of the Clan Drummond of Scotland. This is due to the parents of David II read on for more information on our roots.
Another UPDATE (6- 6-97): I received an e-mail from a person responding to my message left at the Family Tree Maker Web Page. He is a distant cousin descended from Samuel I, also. Our families take separate branches after Samuel I. Mine follows David IV and his follows Stephen I his brother.
I have read the book compiled in July 26, 1918 by Stephen McKellips (b11-19-1857) and May McKellips Pared. They state that the McKellips came to America in the early 1700's. The exact date not known. They state that the McKellips were mentioned in the Continental work as early as 1716, under King George the III, cutting roads and building forts.
This book unites the branches that result from the marriages of Stephen I boys, Stephen II and James I. Stephen II married Eunice Martin and after she died (11-17-1833) he married the x-wife of James I, Mary Bowen McKellips.
These marriages created four separate branches: Stephen II 's first marriage to Eunice Martin, James I's first marriage
to Mary Bowen Martin, Stephen II's second marriage to Mary Bowen Martin McKellips, and James I's second marriage to Elizabeth Thompson.
These are the kind of things that make tracing a family tree complicated. and intriguing.
THE MCKELLIPS ROAD that travels from east to west thru Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa, Arizona
This road in Tempe, Arizona is named after the Chauncy H. McKellips family citrus farm. This is also the corner where the Miller Rd. meets the McKellips Rd. Since I am now a Miller that seems very intriguing to me.
The McKellips Rd. crosses on into Mesa, Arizona where the industrious Chauncey H. Mckellips citrus grower (b 10-27-1886; d 5-15-1966) had his farm. Chauncey is decended from Stephen I, Stephen II's first marriage to Eunice, John II (b 10-12-1829; d 11- 1891) his grand father and his father Stephen who compiled the book mentioned above. I believe that Stephen's cousin May was the co-author of the book.
Well, to continue the story, my latest e-mail connection finds himself on the branch that was formed by James I's second marriage to Elizabeth Thompson (1835-6). Their son Stephen R. (IV) is his great-great grandfather, James William (III) is his great grandfather, Allen David is his grandfather, and David Allan Taft is his father.
Also, he has told me that David II's parents were David I McKillop and Margaret Drummond. That they were married on June 23, 1694 in Kincardine parish, Perthshire, Scotland. That they had at least three daughters: Janot, Margaret, and Katrin - born between 1698 and 1707. ( 1707 was the year of the Act of Union in which Presbyterians became "non-people" in Scotland in favor of the Anglican Church.) According to the previously published "McKellips Family History" by Stephen and May McKellips Pared in 1918, at that time they moved to Londonderry, Ireland. Because of the conflict between Protestants and Catholics (which continues today) they emigrated to New Hampshire called Londonderry and Salem.
He thinks that David I and Margaret may be buried in Salem, NH because of the tax records of 1745. David I would have been 70 or 80 years old at that time. He has visited the grave site of Mary (Terrell) McKellips (d 4-26-1830 in Bradford, Vt.) , wife of Samuel I. It was a very reverent experience for him.
Now, to continue my family story:
The McKillips surname changes to McKellips.
David IV was born 9-12-1783 in NH and is my 3rd great-grandfather. David IV married in 5-2-1805 Resign Davis who was born 8-17-1787 in Corinth, VT.. They had 5 children: David C., Daniel, Samuel T. Susannah, and Lucinda.
Their son, my great-great grandfather, David C. who was born 2-7-1806 in Bradford VT. begins to sign his using the "e" and not the "i".
David IV McKillips died 1-18-1861 in Johnstown Center, WI.
Resign Davis McKillips died 1848 in Johnstown Center, WI.
Their son David C. McKellips married 4-2-1826 Lydia Corliss who was born 1-15-1804 in Bradford, VT. They had 6 children : *Alonzo, Marinda, Mary, Edwin, Elsa, David W., Abegail and Dolly.
Alonzo my great-great-great uncle
*Next questions to be answered: Was *Alonzo a pony express rider in 1860-1861 who was honored by a plaque in North Eastern California? (I have not seen the plaque but I am told that it is in Placerville, California.)
*Was Alonzo the father of Larkin and Lorenza McKellips buried in a well maintained grave site located next to the Death Valley Highway (Hwy 190) on the north side of the road , 6 miles from the hwy 190 and hwy 136 junction?
*Did Alonzo (my great-great-great uncle) operate the Orne Way Station there marked by the grave sites that were 100 years old, January 1976?
One of Alonzo's children was the first white child born in Big Pine. His proud parents named him Alonzo Inyo McKellips. (Inyo, a Paiute word means "dwelling place of a great spirit".)
The grave sites are actually 6 miles east of the intersection of highways 136 and 190, or 11 miles east of Keeler, at a bend in the road on the north side. They are easily spotted if you are coming from the east (Nevada) on Highway 190. You'll begin to see the large marker from a distance, especially in the morning with the sun at your back, as you drive out of Death Valley.
The "Newsletter", printed by the Museum in Independence, California, February 1976 which is titled " Out in Nowhere Lie the Well-Marked Graves of Two Little Unfortuate Children" states that Orne's Station in 1875 was an important place such were all way stations. Managing a way station was usually a family affair. The wife of the manager would prepare food and lodgings, while the manager would tend to the animals and any repairs to the stages and wagons. The children would help whichever of their parents they could. Life, with all of its happiness and tragedy took place in these lonely areas of this vast and fascinating country.
This article states that "in January of 1876 a dreadful sickness came into the valley and entire families took ill at the same time. There was none left well to care for the sick. Larkin & Lorenza McKellips died and on necessity had been buried very close to the house. After the family had gotten well, they must have carefully tended the little grave sites. The father had the dreadful chore of carving their names and dates into a grave marker. When the time came for the family to leave the area, the way station was no longer needed, the mother's heart must have been heavy with anguish.
For over half a century the graves laid forgotten. In 1947, Bill James, who leased the "White Swan" talc mine was wandering over the desert and found two grave markers. It was impossible to discern what was originally carved into the worn and weathered wooden boards. The mystery intriged Mr. James and by inquiring with all of the old-timers in the area he was gradually able to piece together the story of the children and their untimely deaths.
Mr. James carved new markers and the James family and the Wallace Campbell family of Darwin maintained the graves until the road department crew took over. The road was scheduled for straightening out and the request that the road not go over the graves was made. Les Gagan and Matt Perez of the road crew decided to erect a cross. Rocks were collected and placed around the site and a large wooden cross painted white was erected. This is why, as you drive down the Death Valley road, you will suddenly come across a beautifully maintained grave site that is in the middle of nowhere and 100 years old in January 1976."
The article in the "Desert Magazine" of October 1956 is titled "Who Were The McKellips ??". Clinton McKellips had investigated and determined that Alonzo McKellips the eldest son of Lydia and David C. McKellips was the station master and that these two little boys (some say two little girls) were his sons, Lorenzo and Larkin. Also that Alonzo had a cousin Lorenzo, the oldest son of Daniel I McKellips, who lived in Johnson City, Wisconsin. (Similarity in the naming of their children is noted.)
UPDATE (9-21-97) the cross is no longer there. September 21 and 22 of 1997 my husband and I drove thru Death Valley on hwy 190. We saw the grave marked with white stones but the cross was gone. The grave looked like it had been vandalized. The support for the cross had been pulled out of the ground and the cross itself was broken in pieces and scattered over the hill. I am hoping that a permanent memorial and/or historic marker can be placed at this grave site to mark the location of the Orne way station managed by Alonzo McKellips from 1875-1879 and that the grave would be marked with the names of his children who died of diptheria in 1876. To have a new cross placed on the graves would be absolutely wonderful.
My husband and I also visited the grave of Alonzo in Big Pine cemetery. Big Pine is on hwy 395 between Independence and Bishop. Alonzo was honored as a civil war veteran. His grave stone reads:
Corpor'l Alonzo McKillip Co.B. 5th Cal. Infin.
Leaning against the stone is a metal 5 pointed star with G.A.R. engraved in the center of it.
Alonzo was born in Bradford, VT. in 1834. His parents Lydia Corliss and David C. McKellips were living in Laporte, IN by 1836. Alonzo was a sort of maverick. As a young man, he left his home in Indiana and went to California.
Where he is honored as a pony express rider on a plaque in Placerville, CA. Which he did sometime during the years of April 3, 1860 - Oct. 24, 1861. (The years of the official pony express before the invention of the telegraph.) He was then in the Civil War sometime between 1861-1865. He was the Orne way station manager from 1875-1879. He was listed in the Index to the Great Register of Inyo, 1886: McKillips, Alonzo, age 52 - Born Vermont, Occupation, farmer, Residence, Independence.
The May 18, 1884 school census showed the McKellips as having one boy under the age of five years and four boys over the age of five years. His wife , Nancy, had some children from a previous marriage.
His last name has been spelled both ways with the i or the e. Not surprizing considering that his father (my great-great grandfather) was the one who began writing his last name with the e.
We know that at the time of Alonzo's mother Lydia's death, 1888, a newspaper article states that Alonzo, the eldest son of David and Lydia was in California. Alonzo was my great-great-great uncle. His children are my cousins.
For Alonzo, the Pony Express rider, Civil War veteran , and Orne Station manager, his known children are:
Alonzo Inyo McKellips b 8/ / 1872 Big Pine, d? Visalia Cemetery
Lorenzo b 1874, d 1876 Orne Way Station

Now back to my family lineage:
David W. , my great grandfather was born 2-16-1835. He married Adelaide Dingman. She was born 12-13-1841. They had 10 children: Alonzo, Emma, Charles, Clara, Bird, Alta, David W. "Date"Royal, Rollo, and Harry.
David W. "Date", my grandfather, was born 4-8-1873 in LaPorte, IN. He married Carrie V. Morse in 12-10-1905. She was born 11-12-1888 in Ganges, MI. They had 8 children:
Behind their father, (1st row Rto L) David, Adelaide, Alonzo, (2nd row) Russell, Lawrence, Claude, Thomas, and Clyde.
Russell was born 1-15-1912. The next entry will tell the story of when my dad decided to marry my mom.
Half a Hero
This is the title of the story of the day which changed my father's life.
Before I tell to you this story, it is important that you are familiar with the economic crisis of October 1929 and also that you be familiar with the autos within this story, one of them being an Essex. At the bottom of this page, you will find a time line for the autos, and there you will find the Essex.
The economic crisis of October 1929, just to when Frankin Roosevelt became president in March of 1933, the business affaires were in a depression.. Businesses including banks, factories and stores had failed rapidly and unemployment had risen drastically. Thousands of persons had lost their jobs, their savings, and their homes.
This story of the day that changed my father's life begins on the morning of July 5, 1933. Russell is 21 years old. He works for a small garage in the village of Fennville, Michigan.
Russell drives to work, just after sunrise. He sees an auto parked next to an orchard, just before he arrives at the village of Fennville. Within this auto, a 1926 Essex, he sees a lady and something else on the back seat under a blanket.
Russell arrives at work; and he begins to work as he usually does making repairs to the auto of a customer.
Suddenly, he hears alot of noise outside the garage. Many people are yelling and a bell is ringing. John, his boss, runs into the garage. He yells an order to Russell, "Russ, back the black car out, turn it around, and have it ready to go. Someone has robbed the bank. I am going to get my gun." Russ did as John had asked, then he got out of the auto. John turned his head toward Russ and said, "Hurry up! The robbers drove out of town toward the west".
A little later on the highway, the other autos looking for the robber passed the black auto and disappeared. The black auto could not go very fast.
Suddenly, Russ sees the same auto, the Essex, that he had seen that morning on the way to work. The other autos had passed this Essex because it was going slowly down the highway. Russ told John about seeing that auto in the morning: the auto parked next to the orchard, the lady, and the blanket covering something in the back seat.
Russ sees the man seated on the passenger side reach for something in the back seat. "John! I think the man is reaching for a riffle." John lowers the window of the black auto and aims his gun on the wheel of the Essex. John shot twice at the wheels of the Essex. He orders Russ to drive faster.
The autos are now next to each other driving down the highway. John yells at the lady and the man. "Stop you idiots! We are not going to let you get away with this." Russ sees the man had finished assembling his riffle. Russ sees the barrel of the riffle aimed at him.
John pulls his trigger at the same time as the man.
Glass is flying! Russ feels blood running down his face. The man continues to shoot. But before Russell losses consciousness he slows the black auto down, and it stops.
Later, Russ hears that the robber was caught because of what John and Russell had done. The other autos, in returning to Fennville, had found this carnage.
How did this experience change the life of my father?
When my father, the half-hero, was in the hospital recovering from his head wound, he asked this young woman who was visiting him often, if she would marry him. He was touched by her concern for his health and became interested in her after her many visits. He asked her if she would marry him when he recovered from his wound.
My father sometimes had problems with dizziness, but after a year he was completely recovered. My father and mother were married on the 1st day of April in 1934.
My mother has told me that they were April Fools! (No Joke).
When I learn to use the Hpscanner at Hppplace, convert .tif to .gif with Hijaak95, and place an image on this web page then the next entry will be pictures of the robber and his wounds. (6-7-97) Sweet Success !!!!!!!
