Census Notes for Grace A. Mabry
I cannot find John Gordon Kegley in the 1920 census, but Grace is recorded as divorced, and has returned to her first married name:
1920 census of Rowan Co, Ky, Pine Grove precinct, enumerated 13 Jan, lists on p. 4B as family #62/65, on Rock Fork Rd:
Quesenbery, Gracie A., 28, divorced, b. Va Va Va; Clayton M., 12, b. Va Va Va; Johnie P., 10, b. Va Va Va; Fredia M., 5, b. Ky Ky Va. (The relationship column for this family as well as the two families above and below just contains “x” for everyone other than the head of household.)

Notes for Lee O. & Grace A. (Family)
According to the cemetery survey by the Rowan County Historical Society, his gravestone (which spells his name as Lee O. Quesinberry) has the inscription “Married Gracie Mabry 9 Jan 1907”, which seems odd given that the 1920 census lists Gracie as divorced, not to mention that European-style dates rarely appear on U.S. gravestones. Maybe the cemetery survey has mistakenly entered some notes by the survey team as an inscription. (They have the convention that side notes are in square brackets and inscriptions in quotes, but sometimes it is not followed consistently.)
Since Lee died in Dec 1910, and he and Grace were still listed as married in the 1910 census, taken in June, it is possible that Grace married and divorced someone else after he died, rather than divorcing Lee.
