Robert gave land to his daughter on 10 Dec 1799 in a way that sounds a lot like a will. On 7 Jan 1800, his wife applies for letters of administration. So, he died between 10 Dec 1799 and 7 Jan 1800.

• Misc: 14 Nov 1800, Lincoln, Georgia, United States; as executrix for Robert Jemison, sold land to Basil Wheet

Notes:

It appears that after Robert died, Margaret married a second time to William Hunter. In March 1803, Margaret makes her return of Robert's estate and is listed as Margaret Hunter. At that same court, William Hunter is appointed the guardian of Margaret's two youngest children.

There is a Robert Kirkham of Greene County, later of Twiggs County interacting with Ware, Jemison folks. Could be Margaret's brother

The fact that Margaret is named as Robert's Executrix is a good case for her to be his wife.
