Ames Plantation of Fayette / Hardeman Co TN website lists the following:
PASTED FROM WEBSITE:
Alexander McNeill Family Cemetery
Arriving in Fayette County from North Carolina in 1834, the McNeill family owned one of the largest cotton plantations in the area and played a key role in early Fayette County History. Alexander amassed a considerable land holding during the 1830's and 1840's, much of which is still in the McNeill family today.
Established in 1837, this cemetery served as the family burial plot of the McNeill family. Gravestones mark the burial sites of Alexander and five of his children. Soil depressions found in the cemetery suggest the presence of unmarked graves, however investigation of the site indicates that there are no undiscovered gravestones. An historic site marker, donated by descendant Haynes McNeill, was placed at the cemetery in 1996.
The cemetery is located on a remote forested ridge top overlooking the flood plain of Jones Creek approximately 250 yards northeast of the site thought to be the McNeill family residence. Designated state historic site number 40FY339 by the Tennessee Division of Archaeology the cemetery is located at U.T.M. coordinate E295213 N3888077 which is on the USGS Grand Junction, TN 7.5' quadrangle map.

END OF PASTED MESSAGE
(Web page has links to above grave photographs in addition to some other very early burials of Harris, Stewart, Swain, Jernigan, Ingram, Willis Person, Elrod, Johnson, McKenny, Prewitt, Smith's Chapel, Walton, Holcom Slave in addition to unknown burials )
I am looking for the MCKEY connection per the middle name of the last listed child: SARAH MCKEY MCNEILL if any posters have this information.
I have previously posted the LW&T of James MCKEE, Revolutionary War Veteran, who died at Fayette Co TN in the 1840's and I am looking for any information about him or his family.
Also, the "story" of this McNeill family and their location and peers in North Carolina and journey to early south western Tennessee.
Thanks, Linda McKee
