I need to clarify the posting.In John's letter to his brother Vincent, hementioned all his siblings except Jane, the sister mentioned in the Vincent Tapp bible. Let me be more clear, either Alice's letter is suspect or the bible is incorrect, however bible recordings are considered primary evidence, Alice's letter secondary evidence.
Ginny died about 1814 so this could not be Jane, according to the bible Janedied in 1834.
I teach (part time) genealogy at the local community college, some times I call the University of Utah, which has a great genealogy course. I spoke to one of the Professors, concerning the situation, his comments were, the reader/researcher has to decide if he/she will accept the document.
