I' ve been researching my Kifer & Stone families, and am a bit confused by some things. My 3 great- Grandparents are Archibald & Matilda "Stone" Kifer, who were married September 9, 1835 in Warren County, Kentucky. My problem lies with the fact that according to others, researching this family, Catherine, their first child, was born ONLY 4 MONTHS AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE , on January 22, 1836. The earliest she could have been born after the marrige would be June, Right ?
I know that Matilda was married before(June 22, 1829, in Warren County, Kentucky) to Aaron Smith, that they had at least 4 children together, the last one being Hanna Gage Smith, born May 28, 1834 in Warren County, and that Aaron died sometime in 1835.
So what I want to know is, did someone mess up on Catherine's birthdate and if so what is the right date or was she really a child of Aaron & Matilda. The only other option would be that she was the Love child of Archibald & Matilda, and that they had to get married.
I won't put anything down as fact, unless I know it for sure, so if anyone can help straighten this mess out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
