Research Notes

Both birth date and death date seem confused. The gravestone (as seen with findagrave) says death was 20 Mar 1856 not 2 Mar 1856, but many records including the JEM O'Hair 1973 Reunion pamphlet and findagrave say 2 Mar 1856. According to the grave stone, the birth date is supposed to be 37 years 7 months and 13 days before that death date of 20 Mar 1856, making the birth date 7 Aug 1818. So the only agreement here is born in 1818, died in Mar 1856.
