Note:
This memorial updated September 5, 2016 with parent relationship links per edit request.
The DOB is somewhat uncertain - it is listed in the obituary as Sept. 15, 1837 but in cemetery listings as Sept. 15, 1838 (possibly read from headstone inscription ??). Will use the 1838 DOB year for this memorial but with that caution.
Also, The F/A/G locations for DOB's does not have a "White" county in Kentucky. It may have merged with another county since the 1830's, so will just use Kentucky for the birth location state on this memorial.
