Thank you for the information. I have a question though. You stated: I also found that Thomas Gilkerson became the guardian for both John and James. John was awarded to Thomas on April 1,1816, and James was awarded to Thomas on Oct. 7,1816, in Mercer Co. Ky. Which John & James? Here's is somemore info not sure if you have this or not-hope it helps....Jodie Cornelius Demaree's first wife was Sally Sadler--I don't know anything else.
