Roderick Mackenzie of Terrebonne
Lt.-Colonel The Hon. Roderick Mackenzie of Terrebonne (c.1761 − August 15, 1844) was a prominent Canadian fur trader, landowner and politician. He was a partner in the North West Company and a member of the Beaver Club at Montreal. He was a lifelong friend and the private confidante of his first cousin, Sir Alexander Mackenzie. He was an intellectual who established a library at Fort Chipewyan and both wrote and published works on the fur trade. In 1801 he made his home at Terrebonne, Quebec, purchasing the Seigneury in 1814, although he was forced by a court action to relinquish his title to the property in 1824. He continued to live there until his death. He held many public appointments, most notably as a member of the Legislative Council of Lower Canada.
==Early life==
Roderick Mackenzie was born in the Scottish Highlands at Achiltibuie in about 1761. He was the second son of Alexander Mackenzie (1737−1789) of Achnaclerach, who was killed after falling from his horse following a dinner at Brahan Castle with his cousin, the Chief of Clan Mackenzie. Roderick's father was the grandson of James Mackenzie (d.1746) of Keppoch and Kildonan, a first cousin of John Mackenzie (d. 1731), 2nd Earl of Cromartie, and Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, 3rd Bt. Roderick's mother, Catherine Mackenzie, was the niece of Murdoch Mackenzie, 6th Laird of Fairburn. Her brother, Kenneth 'Corc' Mackenzie (1731−1780), of Stornoway, was the father of Sir Alexander Mackenzie.〔(Mackenzies of Achiltibuie )〕
In 1767, his father and grandmother lost the tack of Achiltibuie. It is widely thought that Roderick was sent to live with his uncle, Kenneth Mackenzie, at Stornoway, where he developed his lifelong friendship with his first cousin, Sir Alexander Mackenzie. He was educated with his cousin at the same school as Colin Mackenzie. In 1784, at Alexander's invitation, Roderick came out to Quebec.〔(Sir Alexander and Roderick Mackenzie )〕
