Notes:  

1.  Mary C. McCormack-  dtr. of Caladonia Adaline Wilson who married John T. McCormack.  Caldonia (Wilson) McCormack was the daughter of Caroline Bell McNairy who was the daughter of Robert McNairy and Anne Hamilton.  The Wilsons have several children buried in the cemetery.

2.  Francis L. McNairy- Francis Lee McNairy son of Robert and Anne Hamilton McNairy.

3.  A. E. McCormack- see above

4.  Hortense McNairy- Francis Lee McNairy had a son named John F. McNairy.

5.  I cannot identify John R. Harwell.  He died as a young child.  Catherine McNairy m. Samuel Harwell.  Sarah (Sallie) McNairy m. Hubbard S. Harwell.  ????

6.  Robert McNairy's year of birth says 1789; I think it should be 1767.  I feel SURE this is a typo....

7.  Anne Hamilton McNairy- only the date of birth is listed.  I believe she died December 24, 1853
!Shorter Bible records: marriage date of July 23, 1790 and a date of death for Anne Hamilton McNairy being  24 DEC 1853.
Documented by "Shorter Family Bible of Madora Shorter Ragland, Title: Family data, Shorter Family Bible. Originally owned by Medora Shorter Ragland. Contributed by descendant of Medora Shorter Ragland, Barbara Denise Garcia."  I do have digital copies (POOR copies) of these Bible records giving these dates.  Mary Ann McNairy, youngest child of Robert & Anne McNairy married Henry Ambrose Shorter.

8.  Catherine W. Tarpley- I'm not sure where she fits in...  Anna Jane Dickson married Thomas Ira Tarpley.  If this was their child, they named a later daughter Catherine A.  ????  This would fit within their marriage range as an early child.

9.  Michael M. Dickson- Michael Moulton Dickson was the son of David and Elizabth McNairy Dickson.

10.  W. J. C. S. McCormack- see number 1

11.  The stones with initials... GUESSING McCormack triplets
W.J., G. S. M., and A. E. M. ?????????

12.  Catherine McNairy Harwell- dtr. of Robert McNairy & Anne Hamilton. Married Samuel Harwell.  age 34 yrs, 13 days
(Computer program used to find her date of birth as Dec. 20, 1798.)

13.  Elizabeth McNairy Dickson   I got her death date (June 23, 1876) from her will
