Biography

The 1850 census states that Ballard was age 1, although he reports his own birthday in the 1900 census as being October 1851.

Given his parents report in July (24th) of 1850 and his report in 1900 of an October birthday, he was most likely born in October of 1849. He was unable to read or write in 1900, which could account for the birth reporting error.
I also can't dismiss the idea that there might be two children with the name, one born in 49, and another in 51.

Burgess-4732 and Burgess-3748 appear to represent the same person because: birth dates appear to be from different sources, but the deaths match up. birth date of Burgess-3748 appears to be estimated from the census records
