Hi Tom,
Sorry to resurrect this so much after the original post, but if I recall my Aunt Peggy's story's correctly I believe the letter you reference was likely written by David MacPherson McKay, son of David and Janet, who was Curtis' father. Curtis was my Grandfather; he named his son David MacPherson McKay after his own father.

Hi Folks
Well this is a long shot. My ellusive McKay is Peter McKay b 1798-9 supposedly in upper Canada, He married a Martha Carpenter b 1808 in NY state. I believe the Carpenters were a loyalist family. Peter & Martha married in Canada I believe around Haldimand County Ontario. He petitioned for land in 1835 Beverly Township Wentworth County Ontario Canada. As of 1861 census they lived in Sombra Lambton Ontario Canada & their children were born there.
I am trying to find the parents of Peter McKay. Someone posted on Ancestry that his father is Francis David McKay from Thurso. Looking at the naming patterns of Peter's children & Peter's religious affiliation I do not think that is correct.
Children of Peter McKay & Martha Carpenter:
Mathew Walter McKay b 1826 m Catherine MacDonald b Stornoway Scotland
Cyrus b 1839
Victoria b 1848
Martha Ann b 1851 married #1 Cramer #2 Cadman moved to Port Huron MI
Elizabeth b 1859
Margaret b 1841 married a Boothe

Do any of these names ring a bell with any one researching McKay's
