James Gunsaulis of New York & Harrison County, KY

The James that was Sarah's (who married Ellis Palmer)father. Is Jacob (James is the English version of the Dutch Jacob or Jacobus) Gunsaulis of Bourbon County. He was married to Sarah Leroy and signed permission for his daughter Sara to marry Ellis Palmer. John Gunsaulis married Susanna Dexter 5 Oct,1787. John is Sarah's brother. He lists Sarah Palmer in his pension application.
The James in Harrison County born in 1754 is to young to be Sarah's father. He would have only been 33 in 1787. Since the James in Bourbon county signed for Sarah she would have been under 21 but I doubt 15 or younger for James in Harrison to be her father.
