The book "A McKenzie Family of Cromarty, Scotland, Kitley Township, Ontario and elsewhere 1788-1978 ", by Wilfred B. Bruce, contains the following (page 122).

"William Connerty married Elizabeth Moore, and came to Canada from Balleyconnelly and Belfast, Ireland. He came first to the home of his old friend, Thomas Green, whom he had known in Belfast, and then made his home in the same locality. His children, all born in Ireland (probably at Balleyconnelly) were Elizabeth Moore who was born in 1786 and died October 29, 1874.

William's daughter Eliza's obituary says they came to Canada when she was a child, and settled in Kitley. A family member said that the old Connerty house is still standing, and she thinks it's the first house built after the log cabin. It's about 2 miles from Jasper (formerly called Irish Creek) Ontario.
