About Nathaniel Adams McNairy

Nathaniel A. McNairy was a prominent early settler of Nashville, Tennessee, United States. He was a lawyer, his brother John McNairy was a federal judge, and another brother Boyd McNairy was a doctor. In 1806 he was reportedly party to what the Papers of Andrew Jackson described as an "aborted duel" with Andrew Jackson's business partner John Coffee. John Brahan wrote to John Overton about the conflict, "Now Coffee comes on the ground; it is said that he attacked McNary at Winn's Tavern with a loaded whip, that in the scuffle Mr McNairy got the whip from Mr. Coffee: at which time Mr. Coffee drew a Pistol...Yesterday there was a Gentleman & Lady at Mr. [Thomas Norris] Clarks, who lives within five miles of Nashville, they told Mr. Clark that Mr. Coffee & McMcNairy had met & fought a day or two before they left Nashville, & that Mr. Coffee had recived [sic] a slight wound."
