P.J.McNairy or Philip James McNairy was also born in NC and moved to Missippi then to Lake City, Minn. Don't know what happened to him after that but his daughter married in Aberdeen, Mississippi in 1876 Son Brandon McNairy enlisted in the Army 2/27/1893 in New Orleans, LA and stated he was born in Aberdeen, MS age 28 6 months dicharged 11/5/1895 disability

1850 Census has
Thomas Brandon and wife Mary W. with daughter Margee S. Brandon age 15 plus your line living with them John McNairy and wife Martha Brandon and son Thomas Brandon

Margea S. Brandon married 12/20/1853 Philip J. McNairy Monroe Co, Mississippi.

1870 census has Mary Brandon with (grandson) Bartlett McNairy living with her.

Looks like all the Mississippi McNarys (born in North Carolina)moved to Lake City, Minn by 1870,

My Lena McNAIRY daughter of Margie S. Brandon and Philip James McNairy married 9/4/1876 Dyer P. Barker in Monroe Miss. Margie died before 1870 and Philip or usually listed as P.J. McNairy died before 1880.

John Hamilton McNairy of Upshur Co, TX

PaHaKin — 2008-05-07 12:13:33Z

Does anyone have a copy of the will of John Hamilton McNairy (1804-1853) of Upshur Co, TX? I am trying to confirm his 11 children by his two wives. He was important enough to have a Texas Historical Marker, but I can't identify all of the children correctly.

Additionally, in the 1850 Upshur County census a son D. H. (21) is shown. Following his name is female C. H. (15). Next is another son L. (16). Is C. H. a daughter OR the wife of D. H.? In 1860 a Caroline McNairy is shown with two young children living in the house hold with William Collier.

James McNairy, son of Francis & Mary Boyd McNairy, married Mary Hamilton, dtr. of General John Hamilton & Elizabeth Archer. I noticed that you named your ancestor as John C., the son of James McNairy who was the son of Francis McNairy.

The will of General Hamilton states...
John Hamilton's will of 1818 (recorded Guilford County, NC)
Item 2... I give and bequeath, to my four grand children three sons and one daughter, children of my daughter Mary McNairy [Decd] and of James McNairy (namely) John H. McNairy, Boyd McNairy, James McNairy and Amanda McNairy two hundred and fifty Dollars, each, to be paid to each of them by my executors when they arrive at the age of twenty one years or, marriage, with interest thereon, from two years after the probate of this my last will and if either of them should die, before they come to mature age or marry, it is my will, that their part be equally divided amongst their surviving brothers and sister before named-----

Two of Francis McNairy's sons married Hamilton girls. Robert McNairy m. Anne Hamilton and James McNairy m. Mary Hamilton.

My grandgather John Calhoun McNairy was born in Phillidelphia in 1871, parents John C and Eliz McNairy. That was the way it was signed. I know a great deal about Elizabeth Oakford but cannot find out where my grandfathers father went. After John Calhoun was born his father dropped out of the picture and found Elizabeth Oakford married to John C. Adams in Minn in 1874. I am searching for John C. McNairy around 1871 to 1873, where did he go. If dead what did he die of and where is he buried? Thanks Pat patsy96@juno.com

We are writing to eachother on 2 sites. I sent some info. to your email address. Anyhow, Most of what I know about John C, Sr is conjecture. I do know that he settled in Minn. with Elizabeth. this is in my Uncle Harry's writings. I think that he died in Pennsylvania. Perhaps they took a trip to visit Elizabeth's family?? Maybe she wanted to have the baby at her parents home?? I am going to copy everything I have that will apply and mail it TOMORROW. Please let me know if you can add anything to it, after you read it. You have already given me John's middle name! That may help a lot.-Carol

Carol, Did you ever find out what happened to John C. McNairy after my grandfather was born in Philidelphia in 1871? I know Elizabeth O wound up in Minn., Lake City, county of Wabasha in the 1880 cencus 1st Ward June4th, with John C Adams in 1874, with all the children. I don't know what happened to John C. McNairy the father of my grandfather. Pat patsy96@juno.com

This may be a little confusing. My grandfather John Calhoun McNairy was born in Phillidelphia, Penn. on March 9th 1871. His father was John C. McNairy and his mother was Elizabeth Oakford. It was signed as male born John Calhoun parents John C. and Eliz McNairy. Occupation Gentlemen I have a document saying all of this. I have quite a bit of information on the son John C.McNairy and also his mother Elizabeth Oakford. I was at a stand still about the father John C. because after 1871, Elizabeth Oakford turn up in Minn married to John C. Adams.

John C. and Elizabeth O. McNairy had three children, Reba, 16 1864,in Miss.. Emily O., 11 1869,in Minn.. and John C., 9 1871, in Penn. So John was about 9 when they went to Minn. Look up the 1880 June 4th cencus 1st ward Lake City, County of Wabasha, Minn. You will find John C. Adams and listing of all the children.

I was just told that John C. McNairy died in 1873, didn't say where or of what, and that his parents were Frances McNairy and Mary Boyde of NC. I am hoping to get more information, but any you might have would greatly appreciate it. Be happy to pay for postage and prints.

My files are not organized but when I have put things in order I would be happy to sent them to you. My grandfather John C (I have pictures of him and other ones that I think may be pictures of Elizabeth and ? McNairy or Adams? I have nothing but fun and wonderful things to tell about my grandfather. My sister is eight years older than I am and she remembers him well. As a young couple, he married Blanch, Scott Hill Hunter, they started out in St Louis, MO, two children were born, John C. JR and Evelyn. Evelyn was my mother and John died in France during the war at the age of 17. Well I have gone on quite enough. Let me hear from you. Pat patsy96@juno.com

John c. was married to Martha Elizabeth Brandon in 1848. She died after having 3 children. He married Elizabeth Oakford sometime later. I think I recall that she also had been married before, but I am not sure. I will try to find it. John decided to take Elizabeth north because he said he did not want to lose another wife (The civil War had broke out) Yes, he was a colorful character. Before he left Miss. he bought all his father-in-law's slaves and set them free. He also set his own slaves free. He put his family on a boat going up the Miss. R. and settled in Lake City, Minn. John died in 1873. My Uncle Harry was raised by Elizabeth and her husband , Mr. Adams.

Judge John McNairy

2005-06-04 16:31:19Z

I have found much information on JUDGE McNairy but none on his children. On the Rootsweb message board, if I understand correctly, he married Marry Belle ? (widow of John Hunter AND widow of Mark Robertson). Did Judge John McNairy have children?

I have access to the McNairy County cemetery books. If you'll tell me the names of the people you're looking for, I can look them up for you next time I'm at the library.
