Robert McNairy was the son of Francis McNairy and Mary Boyd. He married Anne Hamilton, daughter of Gen. John Hamilton and Elizabeth Archer, on 23 Jul 1790 (documented by the "Shorter Family Bible). They lived in Giles Co, TN for many years and are buried in the McNairy Cemetery on their home place. The cemetery is a cow lot now, and the graves and tombstones are TOTALLY destroyed. (There ought to be a law!!!!) Thank heaven, years ago there was an old cemetery survey taken that recorded, at least, the graves that had not yet been destroyed.

Additional children for whom I have been unable to find places of burial:
1. Mary McNairy (1791-1816)- married Joseph Dickson, Jr.
2. Sarah "Sally" McNairy (1796-1850)- married Hubbard S. Harwell
3. Caroline Bell McNairy (1813-1849)- married Alfred Wilson
4. Mary Ann McNairy (1816-1870)- married Henry Ambrose Shorter

Were some of these additional children buried in the Robert McNairy Cemetery and their graves were lost before the cemetery survey was finally taken?

If anyone finds the graves of any of the listed children, PLEASE let me know!
