Notes:

From Frederica Holmes Trapnell history of John Macky:

Dr. Robert Macky had been a surgeon in the Revolutionary  War. (Va. Mag. of Hist. &  Biog., v. II, No. 3, Jan. 1895,  p. 255). The Virginia Magazine of History & Biography (v. 34,  p. 360) says that Dr. Robert Macky of Winchester was one of'  the executors of Thomas Bryan Martin, a nephew and heir of'  Thomas, Lord Fairfax.  According to the Journal of Dr. Alexander Balmain, rector of the Episcopal Church in Winchester  from 1781 to 1821, Dr. Macky was a contributing member (2  per annum) of his congregation 1n the years 1783, 1784, 1785  and 1804. These are the only years for which he gives such  information.  A portrait, reputed to be that or Dr. Robert Macky, was owned by William McDonald Neill, probably a descendant or Dr. Macky’s granddaughter Catherine S. Baldwin,  who married Simund C. Neill on July 11, 1850 (Register, Frederick Parish, Oct. 1825-1842).

Robert married SNICKERS, Catharine before 1782 in Frederick Co, VA. Catharine (daughter of SNICKERS, Edward and TALIAFERRO, Elizabeth) was born on 20 Aug 1757 in Frederick Co., VA; died in Jan 1832 in Frederick Co, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Frederica Holmes Trapnell research notes:

Edward Snicker, "being sick, weak of Body but in perfect sense and memory,” made his last will  on the 18th of June, 1790, before witnesses Daniel Morgan,  Sigismund Stribling and Matthew Wright (Fred. Co. Will Bk., No. 5, p. 296). He left to his only son, William Snickers,  "the tract of land on which he now lives known by the the name of Clermont containing 413 acres," land in Loudoun County and  a tract of land "held under lease from Lord Farefax (sic) to  Lord Dunmore lying nere (sic) the Warmsprings in Berkeley County held by me in consideration or a sum of Money lent  Lord Dunmore… also Sundrey Negrows…”  To his daughter  Sarah Alexander, he left “the tract of Land on Which I now live containing 411 acres known by the name of Springfield,  Also Sundrey Negrows.” To h1s daughter Catharine Mackie (isc), he devised "the tract of Land Whereon John Obanion now lives which I purchased of Martin Ashby…” and to his daughter  Elizabeth Stribling, "the tract of Land whereon She now lives  known by the name of No. 1..also Sundry Negrows.” To his  granddaughter "Polly' Mackie", be gave a Negro girl named Kitty, and to his  grandson Edward Mackie, a Negro boy named Sam.  (This grandson Edward, child of his daughter Catharine must have died young for this is the only reference to him that  has been found.) The sheep on his Springfield plantation were to be divided equally' between his three daughters, Sarah Alexander, Catherine Mackie and Elizabeth Strlbling.  William  Snickers, Sarah Alexander, Doctor Robert Mackie, Thomas Stribling and General Daniel Morgan were named executors. When the  will was probated on January 4, 1791, Daniel Morgan refused to  “take upon himself the burden of the execution thereof.”

Edward married TALIAFERRO, Elizabeth in 1755. Elizabeth (daughter of TALIAFERRO, Francis) was born in 1730 in Gloucester, Virginia, USA; died in Frederick Co., VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
