The Cheraw Gazette of the 26th inst., says:
“We are pained to learn that Jackson McNair, a son of Alexander McNair, Esq., of this District, was killed on Monday last, by the falling of a tree. It appears that McNair and his son were in a field pulling fodder, when the accident occurred.”

Jackson McNair was a young man of 21-22 years of age in 1854. I calculate "Monday last" to be 18 September 1854 for the date of the accident.
