Notes:

Grave stone gives his age as 85 years, 11 mo., and 13 days. If he died Feb. 15, 1915, that means his date of birth was 2 Mar 1830. On the census record of 1850 he was 11 years old. On the 1860 census, he was 18 years old and on the 1880 census, he was 46 years old. All these census records would indicate this man was more likely 75 years old when he died, which would make his date of birth 1839 or 1840.
