See biography photo on Jacob's profile: ….”Jacob Keeney, the son of Michael and Nancy Keeney, was a native of East Tennessee, born March 8, 1818, who, when THIRTEEN (1831) years of age, went to Lafayette County, Missouri. In 1832 he moved to Jackson County and in 1839 to Cass County.”
Either Fountain's original birth DATE or PLACE is inconsistent with what is known. Based on what information we do have, I believe it is his birthplace that is incorrectly noted as Missouri and have changed it to Tennessee. David is most likely the first child to be born in Missouri.
Fountain is at home with his family through the 1850 census. See photo of that page--Fountain born TENN/David born MO.
An unknown event occurred to this family. Within a short span of time, Fountain (May 26), his brother David (May 25) and his mother (May 19) all died. I haven't found any records to explain this.
After his death, his wife, Mary Elizabeth, is re-married. I've tracked her with her new family through 1860 & 1870 to confirm that Albah was Fountain's only child surviving to 1860.
