Hi Cleo,
Thank you for your response.
Do you have any sources for Nancy Jane Kistner's parentage?

Jacob M. Kestner is my 3rd and 4th great grand uncle through different lines. Up until now, I had assumed that he moved to Floyd County, KY and passed away there around 1830. I've been trying to establish that the Jacob Kestner in Christian County KY/Montgomery County TN is the same person. If you can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

I've found a death register entry in Christian Co. for Jacob indicating that he was born in Shenandoah County, VA.

I also found a birth register entry for Sarah Grant indicating that her mother Nancy was born in Floyd County KY ( a strong indicator that she is the daughter of my Jacob ).
