Born in Madison Co: Margaret age 23. Eliza 22. Mary 20. Susan 18. John 16. Elizabeth 13, James Monroe, age 1.
Given the age of James and Elizabeth, I believe it possible James Monroe is a grandchild, not a son.

I have seen two dates of death for John, and I believe both to be wrong. One is 1903 in Jackson Co - there's no way he lived that long, since he was age 70 in 1850. The other is a John Gabbard that appears in the 1870 Mortality census as having died in Indian Creek, Owsley Co, in January. The entry references Family 16, which proves to be the John Gabbard whose wife was Margaret Combs - he was born about 1811 and was the son of Henry Gabbard & Barbara Hunsucker. I believe it likely this John died after the 1860 census - he does not seem to appear again.
