Headstone in error has incorrect spelling, as do many of the variant spelling of Quesenberry , over the many lines and generations.
Thanks for all that bring it to our attention, not being familiar with this .

Thomas is my GGG Grandfather
I have his original newspaper obit: [I found it in my childhood photo album, that evidently my granddmother Gardner had given me , for a keepsake to add to my album] I pasted it in the front cover for safekeeping.
Transcribed:
Thomas Quesinberry was born in Montgomery County, Virginia, Aug 10 1794; died at Snake Creek, Carroll Co VA, his late residence, on Sunday evening, Dec 29 1878. He was therefore, 84 years, 4 months and 19 days old. He was one of the oldest citizens in this part of the county. He settled here in the year 1812, and in the same year started the war of that date, but did not reach the scene of battle. Mr Quesinberry was a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist Church for thirty years, filling the office of deacon during the time and leading the life of a true and faithful follower of Christ. To those who were with him a short time before his death said that he was prepared to meet Him in peace. He leaves several children and many relatives and friends to mourn his death. With a smile, he seemed to say: "Oh, Grave, where is thy victory? Oh, Death, where is they sting."
