Crooked Run Cemetery is located just off of US 522 near Cedarville in Warren County, Va. Originally the burying ground for the Crooked Run Meeting House which was attended by quite a few of Robert Mackay Sr.'s descendants this cemetery contains the graves of many of those who once worshipped there. The original meeting house is long gone. Later, a group of Presbyterians which included some of Robert Mackay's descendants built the present day Nineveh Presbyterian Church which occupies the location formerly occupied by the Crooked Run Meeting House. Some of Jacob Sowers Sr.'s descendants are also buried there.

This location also serves as the central location for the Robert McKay Clan Reunion.

Below are some historical sketches of the meeting from "Hopewell Friends History" and William Wade Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy".
