Notes:

9 juillet 1780 - Conversion à la religion catholique

Murdoch McKenzie est converti à la religion catholique. Il est baptisé sous condition à l'Église Notre-Dame de Québec le même jour que Henri Palmer. Dans le registre, on apprend qu'il est originaire d'Inverness en Écosse, que ses parents s'appelaient Murdoch et Catherine McKenzie, qu'il a 32 ou 33 ans. On indique que les deux baptisés n'avaient aucune certitude de leur baptême. On peut en déduire qu'il est né en 1748 ou 1747.

Il est à noter que la Cathédrale Notre-Dame et que l'église de Notre-Dame de la Victoire font parti de la même paroisse et ont les mêmes registres de telle sorte qu'il n'est pas possible de dire dans laquelle des deux églises a eu lieu la cérémonie.

Malgré qu'il signe Murdoch McKenzie, on lui donne aussi le prénom de Mathieu. Le parrain était le Sieur Charles-Simon Soupiran, maître chirurgien de cette ville, et la marraine était Damoiselle Louise-Catherine Soupiran.

Henry married Marie-Françoise* RENAUD on 16 Jul 1780 in Québec, Qc. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
