Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in death record as Apr 15 1851. But age 6 in 1860 Census, between siblings Nancy (age 8) and Valentine (ag 4), would put his birth in about 1854. But in 1870 Census, he was age 19, older than siblings Nancy (17) and Valentine (13), making the 1851 birth date correct. Note (2) Birth date on headstone is 1850, but she was age 18 in 1870 Census.
