Kentucky Death index lists Jame's POD as Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky. James and Eliza could be buried near their son Speed McKeehan in Dreyfus Church of Christ Cemetery in Madison County. James and Eliza's son Thomas Jefferson McKeehan as well as other people from Whitley County, Kentucky, from the same time period are buried here in Pilot Knob Cemetery, it seems more likely that James and Eliza could be here as well. They may not be buried here but this is where I have them until they do happen to show up.
Documentation as to where James and Eliza Black McKeehan are intured would be very much welcome.
