A belated comment on your excellent thought process regarding Rev John's birth year. The reference this time is "Early Osbornes and Alleys" compiled 1963-1973 by Rita (Kennedy) Sutton and published in 1973 by the Historical Society of Southwest Virginia.Page 38 shows Jemima Kilgore's family, citing her birth as 9/14/1794 and that of her husband, Rev John, as 1782.A footnote acknowledges that the census suggests later but that a "bible reference" has John's birth in 1782. That would seem to suggest a Kigore or Osborne bible. So, John'sgrave-marker might actually be correct? If they married early in in 1810 and Malinda was born in December of that year, Jemima would have been 16.Young but not unheard of for the times. Could she have even been Rev john's 2nd wife?
