Birth and death dates for Charles and Ruhamer are provided by their tombstones, which are located at the McAnally Graveyard in the Meadows area of Stokes County; in 2005 on the farm of Gareth Meadows. Family oral history identifies Ruhamer's name. The origin of her surname of "Houston" is unclear and there is much confusion in family histories as to where the Houston family intermarried into the McAnally; however, her tombstone is marked "R.H.". Their children Jesse and Ruhamer are also buried here; Ruhamer was also known as "Mercy" and it is said the name "Ruhamer" means "Mercy" in either Hebrew or Gaelic, though this has not been substantiated. Bible records in the James Davis family provide the birth and death dates for Jesse McAnally as well. The Revolutionary War Pension application for Joseph Banner provides the vital statistics for Sarah. Ruth McAnally's birth is recorded in the records of the Moravian Church at Salem, NC. Descendants of John McAnally provide his vital statics from a family Bible, but this is from a secondary source. Mary McAnally married 2ndly a William Absher and moved to Kentucky, information on Mary is also from secondary sources. The 1850 Census show descendants of Terrance Burns in Vanderburg Co., IN and an elderly Ruth Burns is listed.
