PREFACE.
Many years absence from my native county failed to diminish my interest in the old land, and in those I had known in my boyhood. A brief visit there a few years since, revived old memories, awakened interest never lost -- but only sus- pended-and determined mo at no distant day to put in print some sketches of the pioneers of McNairy county.
This work would have been impossible, but for the kindly aid which I here acknowledge to have received from Hon. James Warren, Major S. L. Warren, Mrs. Celia Wisdom, Hon. John H. Meeks, Thad. L. Adams, Mrs. Mattie Adams, Miss Flora Shull. Col. Dew M. Wisdom, Mrs. Jennie S. Perkins, and many others. I am specially indebted to lon. James Warren, who has taken a lively interest in the work and made my duty more that of a compiler than an author.
There are, no doubt, many names not mentioned in this book which deserve a place there. No one will regret this more than myself. I was kindly aided by the newspapers in Purdy and by many friends, in giving notice that I desired information about every one of the old families of the county. Ifany have fall- 1 to send information to me, who could have done so, the fault is not mine, ani no one regrets it more than I do.
The little book, such as it is, written con amore, is given to its readers with the hope that it may revive and increase the growing interest now manifested for preserving our local history.

The county was named in honor of Judge John McNairy, the eminent Jurist, who was born in Cuilford county. North Carolina, in March, 1732. He was appintel by President Washington Judge of the Superior Court of the Western District, and arrived in Nashville in 1788, accompanied by " Mr. Attorney" Andrew Jackson. In February, 1797, he was appointed Judge of the District Court of the United States for Tennessee, which office he held until a few years before his death, which occurred near Nashville November 10th, 1833.
A younger brother, Dr. Boyd McNairy, was born in North Carolina in 1785, and came to Nashville at five years old .. He was one of the most famous of the early physicians of the State. A number of his descendants are living : a daughter in New Orleans, Mrs. Goodrich ; Major Frank H. McNairy in New Orleans, and Dr. W. S. MeNairy in Washington, where he has been for over thirty years in the Navy Department.
The records of the county were destroyed during the late war, and there are no records older than 1858 on file.
The Erst session of the county Court was held in the early part of the year 1824.
The Best settlers were chiedy from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Middle and East Tennessee. Purdy, the county seat, is located a little east of the centre of the county, on the dividing ridge between the waters of the Tennessee and Hatchie rivers. It was named in honor of Col. John Purdy, one of the early government surveyors. Alamsville is eight miles chat of Purdy anl four miles from the Tennessee river. It was named in honor of George G. Adams, an old and highly respected citizen. McNairy Station is ten miles northwest of Purdy, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Bethel Springs, a station on the M. and O. Railroad, is four and a half miles west of Purdy. Montezume is eighteca miles northwest of Purdy, near the Madison county line. Falcon is six miles southwest of Purdy, on the M. and O. Railroad. Ramer's Station is twelve miles south of Pardy, on the M. and O. Railroad. Camden, or Rose creek, is ten miles West of Purdy, on the Bolivar and Purdy road. Chewalla is Afteen miles south- west of Purdy, on the Memphis and Charlestown Railroad. Gravel Hill is four- teen miles south of Purdy, and Stantonville eight miles southeast of Purdy. These constitute the principal towns and villages in the county.
The county comprises about 615 square miles, or 412,800 acres of land. The country immediately around Purdy ishilly and poor. The extreme northern part of the county is level or undulating, and the soil rich and productive. The lands in the southern part of the county are generally level and very productive. The eastern part of the county is hilly, except that portion bordering on Hardin County, which is level and productive. This is the case with the western part of the county also.
The principal streams in the county are Snake creek, which rises sometwe're miles southeast of Parly, and runs northeast and empties into the Tennessee river ; Owl creek, which rises about eight miles south of Fariy, and runs south- east and empties into the Tennessee river ; Oxford creek, which rises about nine miles south of Fardy, runs southwest and empties into Cyprus Creek ; Cypress creek, which rises about four miles northwest of Purdy, runs southwest and empties into Hatchie river; Moss' creek, which rises about eight miles southwest of Pardy, runs southwest and empties into Hatchie river; and Hatchie creek,

which rises ahout ten miles northwest of Purdy, and empties into Hatchie river There are many other streams throughout the county, there being no considerable district of country which is not supplied with running water.
The timber is abundant and of good quality, consisting chiefly of oak, hickory, ash, cypress, pine and chestnut.
Cotton, wheat, oats and Indian corn are the principal product of the county.
Apples, peaches, peas, plums, cherries and grapes do well in all parts of the county.
The population in 1870 was white, 11.226; colored, 1,500. Total 12,726.

The Arst inhabitants in the territory embraced in the county of Me Nairy settle 1 there in 1920. They were the Kirby's, Beatty's, Gillespie's, McAlpin's, Murray's and Sweat's.
Soon afterwards, many others came in ; among them Major Benjamin Wright, John and Samnel Chambers, from Middle Tennessee; James Wisdom from Overton county, Tennessee ; Maior John Horton, from Giles county ; John S. Ingraham ; Thomas Andersch, from Bedford county ; William Stedman, from Alabais ; and Robert and Archibald Houston.
The MeKenzie family and Thomas Lane, from Jackson, Tennessee. who opened the first tavern in Purely, settled in the county about the year 1823 or 1521.
The town of Purdy was lad of by Col. John Perdy aul Major Benjamin Wright, and the lots were auctioned off by Wm. 8. Wisdom. Col. John Party was a citizen of Henderson county, his residence being at a place known as Purdy's OfEce. On the establishment of a post office at Purly Major V,'right was appointel post master.
Among the earliest residents of Purdy were Dr. Wm. Barnett, who was the first physician who practised in the town, and his brother, Joseph Barnett, who was the first clerk of the county Court. De. Barnett came from Williamson county ; Joseph Barnett from Wayne. In 1 .25 Henry Wilson, who was the first sheriff of the county ; James Clay the first carpenter in Porly; J. M. Prince the first school-teacher in the town ; the Boy l family, N. E. Griffith, the first merchant or tradesman of the town, Peter E. Shull, Jaines Reed, Reuben Walker and Henry Kirkland, all settled in Pardy. In the year following 1528, George and John T. Burtwell, from Florence Ala. ; Richard S. Harwell, from Springfield Tenn., and Maclin Cross, from Madison county, were added to the citizens of the new town. In 1627 the accessions to population were increased by the settlement in the town of Win. Ruleman, from Madison county ; Jeremiah Cloud, from Alabama ; Samuel D. Pace, from Georgia ; Laney Moore, from North Carolina ; Richard Crump, from Williamson county, Tenn. ; also the Denny, Magee and Rains families settled near Purdy. The Wilson and Hill families settled in the county in 1323-24. In 1529 Wiley B. Terry, from East-Tennessee; Jacob Chaney, from Frankfort. Ky .: Doctors Randall and Hedgespeth, from Georgia came in. In 1971 Thomas Combs, Alfred Moore, from Overton county, and John Shull, from Maury county, movel to the county. These were followed, in 1834, by Fountain P. Duke, Robert Turner and Mat. Trice, from Virginia. In 1835 by Capt. Jeremiah G. Adams, from Virginia also.

The first Court held in the county was in 1830, in a rude log cabin. Soon afterwar is the court-house (which was burned in 1:51) was built by James Reed aul Reuben Walker, carpenters, and Henry Kirkland, brickmason. In 1526 Henry Kirkland built the brick hotel on the east side of the square, which was afterwards .during the late war) destroyed by fire, and in 1527 he built the county jail. The first church edifice built in Pardy was a frame building located in the northeast portion of the town. It was a methodist church, and was used also for a school-house. In 1$60 the Cumberland Presbyterians erected a house of worship of brick in the centre of the southern part of the town, and the Baptists built a church soon afterwards; but it was so injured during the war that it was never used afterwards as a place of worship.
The early school-teachers of Purdy were Barrett Lock, James Corner, Andrew McKee, David A. Street, R. D. Miller, Isaac Self, Alvy Johnston and Barlow.
The names of the early physicians were Drs. Darnett, Helgespeth, Ran tall, Wm. Young, Frank Young, Richard W. Crump, Rufus S. Harwell, Charles C. Crump. R. B. Harris, Wmn. MeKinney, H. W. Gill, W. C. Kendall, Job Bell, Daniel Barry, and J. F. Duke.

NOTE .- I am indebted to Hon. James Warren, one of the old and most highly esteemed citizens of McNairy county, for the following graphie sketch.
The lands now embraced in McNairy county, prior to the year 1819, were occupied by the Chickasaw Indians, it being a part of the territory then known as the Western District. At this late the Indian titles were extinguished and the county of Harlin established, which embraced the territory now covered by McNairy county, and a few daring adventurers began to make their appearance west of the beautiful Tennessee river, for the Dirpose of making settlements, aul with brave hearts an'l strong arms began to fell the large monarchs of an almost unbroken forost, erect log cabins, and clear small patches of ground for cultivation in corn for brevl; but so little was done in this direction the first year that the settlers, few in number and far apart, were compellel to cross the river and go into Mille Tennessee for corn to make the bread. There were but few cattle and hogs, not enough for mert; but the supply was not scant, as game was in abundance, consisting of bear, deer, turkey an I smaller game. The names of the first settlers are unknown.
On the 8th day of October, 1823, the General Assembly of the State passed an Act providing for the organization of McNairy county, taking its name from Judge John McNairy, of Nashville. In 1824 the county was organized. Certain men of gool character were recommendel to the Governor by captains of com- panies, who were commissioned as Justices of the Peace, who constituted the county Court. (The records of the county Court having been destroyed it is now impossible to get their names.) All the county officers were elected by the county Court. The fi st Court was held in a log house erected for the purpose on what is now known as the A. V. Mirry farm, about four miles south and west of Purdy, the present county site. The first chairman of the county Court was Pressly Christian; Joseph Barrett, clerk, and Henry Wilson, sheriff. The Court was held at this place until about 1325 when the present site was selected an ! permanently incared, and in March, 1825, a sale of town lots was held, Benjamin Wright being the surveyor and Wm. S. Wisdom the auctioner. On the 4th day of August, 1.25. John Yount conveyed to Geo. M. Barnut, A. V. Murry. W. S. Wisdom, Robert Rankin, and Thompson M. Prine, commissioners, 50 acres of landI for the location of the county site. John Chambers is said to have originally enterel the land on which the town is situated, the fees being paid with money lerivel from the sale of cheen made by his wife, and haulel to Nashville, a distance of about 150 miles. The town was named in honor of John Purdy, who
12
was a citizen of Henderson county. Another court-house was now built at Pardy of logs, 18 × 20 fest, with clapboard roof and doors and puncheon Hoor, ani although there was but little crime then, a jail was built of about the same material as the court-house.
The first Circuit Court held in the county was presided over by Judge Joshua Haskell; Maclin Cross, clerk. Purdy now began to assume the appearance of a town.
The following named persons constitutel the first inhabitants :
Joseph Barnett, Wm. S. Wisdom, T. Prince, John T. Burtwell, George Bart- well, S. D. Pace, William Ruleman. Heury S. Wilson, Steadman, Nat. Griffith, Benjamin Jones, Benjamin Wright and Maclin Cross, who erectei log cabins with clapboard roofs and doors, puncheon floors, and stick and-dit chimneys.
The county now began to receive quite a number of immigrants, a large majority of whom were originally from North Carolina.
Hugh Kirby, bort December, 1521, and died 4th January, 1570, is said to. have been the first white man born in the county.
The Arst store in the county was owned and operated by John Chambers and Vat. Griffith as partners, their best and principal customers being In-lines, wio exchanged fars and boks for goods, which were again hauled to Nashville an ! exchanged for other goods, money being very scarce in the county.
A brick court-house was built in 1:30, James Reed being the contractor and Henry Kirkland the builder. The lumber used in its construction was saved by hand with a whip-saw and bought at from: 75 cents to $1.25 rer hundred.
The first censur was taken in 1>30, and showed the population to be 8.313 whites and 351 colored : a total of 5,697.
From the time of my arrival in the county. February, 1527, until 1:32, my acquaintance outside of my immediate neighborhood was quite limitel, the population increasing rapidly.
