Their Country's Call
"Among the Civilian Soldiers who first took up arms in the time of
emergency was a group of local volunteers who responded to the call of
the Continental Congress on 7/14/1775. Along with Capt. Michael Cresap,
1st Lt. Joseph Warren and 2nd Lt. Richard Davis, the volunteers from
this area painted themselves to look like Indians and answered the call.
They marched the 551 miles to Boston, Ma. in just 21 days, where they
reported to General George Washington . The march began 7/18/1775 and
ended 8/9/1775. The enlisted men who fought brilliantly under their
able leaders included such men as Thomas Clinton, their fifer, ...Other
volunteers included Moses McKenzie, William Roberts, William Davis, John
Comp, William Taylor, George King, Daniel Recknor and James Byron.
These men, as part of THE MARYLAND LINE, which gave the State its
nickname, 'Old Line State', fought in the battle of Long Island in 1776.
They were mustered out in 1783...."

My father Ambrose R. McKenzie 1910-2003 told me that one time he was walking down the Winchester Road with his Grandfather Samuel S. McKenzie 1845-1927. Samuel looked over toward the old Grabenstein Farm and said that Moses Mckenzie was buried there. I told my father that the only Moses in our line of and importance was Moses McKenzie 1760-1824 the Revolutionary war Soldier. In 1994 I interviewed Edward Grabentein 1910-1998, I ask him about the old cemetery on the farm and he told me that it was on the hill that they covered when they built the mall. so this is as close as I can figure where the cemetery was. Maybe in a 100 or 200 Years someone will use this information to locate the old Moses McKenzie Cemetery. Joseph Edward McKenzie Oct. 2008.
