(died 17 March 1818), Métis child in GC. (year of death 1824 also found, and age at death 24) Born in Indian country. Parents: Alexander McLeod of the North West Co., and a country wife. Ann McLeod was raised with the family of the Rev. John Bethune at Williamstown. She married Squire Alexander McKenzie of Williamstown. She died at Williamstown, GC, it is said in childbirth. She and her husband had a family connection with Alexander McLeod McKenzie, but given the uncertainty of the relevant information we cannot go so far as to assert that both of them were his parents. Squire Alexander McKenzie (Capt. Alexander McKenzie) died 15 June 1849, aged 80. He was a landowner in the Williamstown area. He was presumably the same person as the captain of that name who served with a GC flank company in the War of 1812. Apparently also he was in service at the time of the 1837 Rebellion. He and Ann are buried in St. Andrew’s cemetery, Williamstown. We may guess that he was the same man as the Alexander McKenzie, “a very respectable Settler in the County of Glengarry,” who in 1835 unsuccessfully applied for 1200 acres of land as a reward for bringing emigrants to Canada and “settling them upon their lands.”
