  General Notes:

From the Biography for Deborah Kidd on Wikitree:
The Virginia death record for Deborah Peery gives a birth date of about 1770 in Powhatan County, Virginia and a death date of 15 April 1853 in Tazewell County, Virginia. She was the widow of John Peery. Her father was William Kidd. The Peery Family Bible gives Deborah's date of birth as 11 Feb 1770. This was a contemporary Bible writing and considered to be accurate, especially in light of the FAG Memorial which does not contain a photograph or other documentation of her dates. Image of the Bible was attached to this profile by a family historian. Various indexes interpreted the old handwriting as Delorah, and Delisah but we know it is the death record for Deborah Peery because the Virginia record names both her husband and father correctly. The website Find A Grave gives Deborah Kidd Peery's birth as Feb. 11, 1768 in Powhatan County, Virginia, USA; and her death as Apr. 15, 1853 in Virginia, USA.
