I know that the death date on the tombstone for John McKelvey looks as if he died in 1817, (age 57 years, 3 mo.), but the inscription is worn. The death date should be 1847. Research has it that he was born in Albany, NY on 21 Nov. 1789, served in the War of 1812 as a Private in Capt. Mahaar's Co., NY Volunteers, married Abigail Osborn on 14 Mar. 1812, had several children, moved to Lyons, Ionia Co. in 1834, and died 21 Feb. 1847.
