Buried:
From FindaGrave:
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!

Robert married Ann Hamilton on 23 Jul 1790 in Guilford, North Carolina, United States. Ann (daughter of General John Hamilton and Elizabeth Archer) was born on 27 Sep 1775 in Guilford, North Carolina, United States; died on 24 Dec 1853 in Davidson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Giles, Tennessee, United States.

Anne Hamilton McNairy was the daughter of Gen. John Hamilton and Elizabeth Archer. She married Robert McNairy 23 Jul 1790 in Guilford Co, NC. They later moved to Giles Co, TN and lived there the remainder of their lives. Both she and Robert McNairy died in Davidson Co, TN visiting family but are buried on their old home place in Giles Co, TN. The cemetery is TOTALLY destroyed as a fenced in cow lot now. Thank heaven there was a cemetery survey made years ago before ALL of the graves were lost. We will never know about the graves that were lost before the cemetery survey was FINALLY taken.

Notes:

Mary was the eldest daughter of Robert McNairy and Ann Hamilton
