Event Notes
Note (1) Age 18 at 1850 Census puts birth date at about 1832, while age 29 at 1860
Census puts it at about 1831.  But age 40 at time of Dec 1879 marriage would put
it at about 1839, and age 73 given at time of Sep 1907 death would put it at
about 1834.  The earlier date is considered more reliable.
