**I have had request to change the date of death. The cemetery records show 1836. Hundreds of Family Histories show 1839. One request to change to 1837, due to will being filed in Mercer County, Kentucky in January 1838. I have had two or three request to change it to 1839. I believe it has to be 1836 or 1837, both are before the will was entered, could be either one, However I am leaving it as it is in the Cemetery Records.
