Service Cemetery [once Harmon's Creek]...or...
From: "McNary Family with Trees and History," McNary and Simpson Publishers, Pittsburgh, PA, 1907, pg. 141:
"Some doubt exists as to the place of burial of David and of his venerable father, James, the 'original ancestor.' William McNary, the only son of David, together with his immediate descendants, are interred in the old graveyard at or near Paris, Washington Co, PA; but the final resting place of the 'pioneer' David, and of his aged father is not certainly or definitely located, the imperfect markings of all graves of that early date being now illegible. While it is possible that their remains are interred in the old Paris or Harmon's Creek Cemetery where many of the succeeding generations lie, yet it is quite probable that the remains of 'Old James' or his pioneer son, David, and of David's wife, Esther Cowden [Esther is buried in Poland Center Cemetery, Mahoning Co, OH], are at rest in the ancient cemetery or burying place of the old Seceder Congregation, known as 'The Tent' in pioneer days, located some 5 miles south or southwest of Paris, PA, but within the WV border, which seems to have been the earliest burial place established in the Holliday's Cove region."
This cemetery is now known as 'Cross Creek Tent Cemetery.'
Thanks to James McNary Bogart, who provides this evidence on his family tree on Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com, which suggests that our James McNary [born 1711, died 1796] may be descended from David McNary [born 1680 in Scotland, died 1738 in Ireland], per his source:
"The following letter written by Martin McNary to his brother Morris in Dungarvon, Ireland. Either the letter was never sent or, as Mary McNary Bogart suggests, did the "son [of Martin] James" visit in Connecticut at the old farm, and might he not have brought the letter received by his father Morris, with him to identify himself?"
"'America, Middletown, State of Ct., June 9, 1785
Dear Brother: I received your letter dated last July in which you informed me of the hard times in Ireland and the bad circumstances you are in, which grieves me much; and you informed me about my brother John but not a word did you write me of brother James or sister Jane which makes me fearful they are not living.'"
