    1. McQuinn Cemetery, Sauvie Island
    2. Hello, The one acre McQuinn Cemetery, located off Lucy Reeder Road on Sauvie Island, was set aside in 1854 on their donation land claim by Alexander Hamilton McQuinn and his wife Rebecca Enyart. Alexander and Rebecca crossed the Plains to Oregon Country in 1844. The cemetery is owned by their descendants, the McQuinn Family Pioneer Cemetery Association, Inc., Bruce W. Robb, president. Only two grave enclosures remain standing with no identifying markers. We understand only a small number of persons were buried in the cemetery and we are very interested in confirming their names. The burials we believe we can identify, in addition to Alexander 1810-1871 and Rebecca 1820-1869, are Braxton and Helen, their children who died young, Isabella McQuinn Smith, a daughter (wife of Isaac Newton Smith) who was dead by 1873; Marquis de Lafayette Enyart, Rebecca's brother who died in 1862; Andrew Jackson Armstrong, died in 1852, relationship unknown, but he had a son named Abner Enyart which was Rebecca's father's name. The last burial we know of is that of George Anderson who died in 1891. He was the husband of Elizabeth Ann Enyart, Rebecca's niece. Any additional information will be most welcome. Thank you.
