Jane (AKA Jean, Jennet, Janet or Jeannet) Telford (or Tedford) was the daughter of Alexander Telford/Tedford and Mary. According to the McKees of Virginia and Kentucky (George W McKee), she was born on 19 Oct 1754. She married James Logan McKee on 6 June 1782 in Kerrs Creek, Augusta Co., VA (now in Rockbridge Co.). They applied for a marriage bond on 3 June 1782. Rev. Brown married them (Marriages of Some VA Residents, 1607-1800, Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, 1897-?, p 223).

Alexander "Tedford" signed his daughter Jane's (written Jeannet Tedford) Rockbridge Co. marriage bond, on 3 Jun 1782. The bond was also signed by James McKee who paid £50 on the same day to the Virginia Commonwealth, using her name, Jennet Tedford. This is the only time I've seen her name listed as Jennet or Jeannet. See photo on her husband's site with both spellings.

They only had one son John Telford McKee on 14 April 1783 in Kerrs Creek (only one child per The McKees of Virginia and Kentucky, p 136).

Unknown to me, is a connected daughter "Elizabeth McKee, born Dec 1795 in VA and died 1828 in Millersburg, KY. She married Abner Cosby on 7 Apr 1816. See DAR Ancestor #: A077470 ( Nat'l #: 428702 for KBJ James)." Needs verification.

I took the group photo of graves in August 1999. Jane's is in the center, and husband James is on the right side, but I can no longer recall who was on the left.

I believe her gravestone says:
In memory of
JANE T. McKEE
wife of
James L. McKee
Who died Aprl 30th
1800.
in the 46th year of
her age.
FAGEN (name of engraver)

Note: I have estimated her birth year to be ABOUT 1754 based on the age on the gravestone.
