I do not know why Guy McQuain's headstone shows the wrong dates for both his birth and death. My mother, Vivian Lenora Mcquain Borrer, my 3 aunts, Thelma Jean McQuain Mills, Norma Irene McQuain Appelt, Willma Alice May McQuain Liccion as well as my only uncle Robert Charles Meadors, Jr. confirmed that all my dates in my Ancestry.com McQuain /Ledgerwood tree were correct. And I originally got this information from Nora Ethel Ledgerwood Meadors Mcquain. She was the widow of both Robert Charles Meadors, Sr. and Guy Mcquain.
