From this member his parents were married 20 Feb 1808. If their son Edward was born in 1806 as listed on the tombstone, it would have been 2 years before their marriage). Robert & Elizabeth's other children also followed every two years in 1811, 1813, etc. so there is no explanation for a gap from 1806 to 1811. All evidence points to Edward's birth in 1809 and an error on the gravestone. You will notice the year of death on the gravestone is also incorrect, as Edward's will was probated in June of 1846.

Edward was married on 22 Aug 1837 in Washington Co., KY to Priscilla Lincoln, but there was no issue from this marriage.
