According to a copy of an old Bible record believed to be from the family Bible of Moses & Abigail McKay, Robert is listed with the middle names of 'Aaron' and 'Shinn'. He signed his legal documents in Virginia as 'Robert S. McKay' and I do not know of any other documents spelling out his complete name at this time. The original Bible record is in the possession of Katherine (Hackney) Luby. Dee Ann Buck disagrees that his middle names were 'Aaron' and 'Shinn' so we need further documentation on this.
