The book, Downey Families of Kentucky, states "James Downey (ca. 1780-1846) was born in Kentucky County, Virginia. He married (1) Elizabeth Carson in Jessamine County, Kentucky in 1800. He married (2) Nancy Jeffries in 1834 in Mercer County, Kentucky. He later died in Boyle County, Kentucky.

A James Downey married Elizabeth Carson (1780-1834) in 1800. There was a James Downey who married Mary Riley (1788-1846) in 1805. There was a James Downey who married Nancy Jeffries in 1834.

Elizabeth was still living when Mary married, and Mary was still living when Nancy married.

Could it be there was a James who married Elizabeth and then Nancy, and a second James who married Mary Riley?

According to the Boyle Co. will of the James who married Nancy, he had issue: Thomas William John Margaret Divine Jane Peavier Permelia Divine James H Mary Leticia ? Martha ? Caroline

The above children would not belong to Mary Riley unless one individual named James Downey married all three women.

Any suggestions on which children go with which woman?
