Death record gives age at death as 81y 4m 11d, which would put birth at Dec 21 1853, exactly one month earlier than the Jan 21 1854 cited within the record. The latter date was supported by the record of his first marriage, which gave his age as 27 as of Jan 21 1881. - [S1554] Doddridge County Marriage Records, West Union, WV, MR Bk 2, p. 8.
