DEATH YEAR CONFLICT - The photo does not clearly show the dates. The transcript of person who took photos said 1839 and Thomas Harvey Robinson's 1906 letter to his sister says 1839. But all will information and other estate information points to 1840. Also the only sons not mentioned were: James and Samuel; who had both moved west to Alabama & Mississippi by 1840. Because of this dispute, I list the dispute and side with 1840.
