=============================================================

Alexander McKie (Patrick Jr, Patrick Sr), b. abt. 1550 in Minnigaff Kirkcudbright Scotland deceased 1591 in Minnigaff Kirkcudbright Scotland ["before Father", Larg, Kirkcudbright, Scotland].

He married on 8 Oct 1575 in Scotland, Katherine Agnew , b. abt. 1554 in Scotland; deceased in Scotland. Children of Alexander McKie and Katherine Agnew were as follows:

• Sir Patrick McKie b. after 1575 d. 1645; m. Susanna Kennedy b. abt. 1570 and she was of Culzeau, Scotland. He was of Larg, Minnigaff, Kircudbright, Scotland
• James / ?JAMES? Mc Kie b. abt. 1577 m. [-?-] of Larg, Minnigaff, Kirkcudbright, Scotland Chart from "The Clan Mackay" - families of McKee or McKie or Mackie living in Galloway; died before his father; "The Book of Mackay" gives Alexander's marriage contract date to Katherine Agnew as 8 Oct 1575. It states that Alexander had two sons: Patrick, who succeeded him, and an unnamed son who was the father of the Patrick who succeeded his uncle Patrick at Larg.

History of the Lands and Their Owners in Galloway states that Alexander succeeded his father but died without issue and was succeeded by his brother Patrick. It states that his brother and heir, Patrick, also had retour of the farms of Stranard and Tonnergre on 29 May 1628.

However, Book of Mackay (pg 355) quotes a charter under the Great Seal, 4 March 1598, to Patrick Makkie, eldest son of the late Alexr. Makkie, son and heir apparent of Patrick Makkie of Larg, of the lands of Camloden, Barrawer, Calcathane, Biach, Carriden, Fyntillach with the isle in the loch thereof, Clonlouchagach, Garser, Baryarrock, Barjargane, all in Wigtonshire, and Clonquhard in Kirkcudbrightshire, now created into the free barony of Larg with the fortalice of Calgour as chief messuage.

Editors have concluded that there were two Patricks who inherited from Alexander: Patrick, his son, was given Larg, and Patrick, his brother, received Stranard and Tonnergre.
