Event Notes
Note (1) Birth date reported by Findagrave as Jul 15 1833.  But age 21y 1m 3d on
headstone calculates to a birth date of Jan 15 1834.
Note (2) Birth date on headstone is Jul 17 1833, inconsistent with other records and
in conflict with birth dates of siblings.  Age 15 in the 1850 Census would put
his birth in about 1835, while age 26 in his Oct 1860 marriage record would put
it in about 1834.
