Leah (Hughes) McKown's tombstone, (closeup, r) rests on the wall of the Tyler family cemetery, Jeffersontown, KY.

"In Memory of Leah McKonn consort of Robt McKonn who departed this life Apr. 12th 1822 aged 68 years." (hard to read; 88 years would fit her life story better...)
Robert McKown is named a Trustee of Jeffersontown in this 1797 court document.
