    The marriage to Zilpah is listed in another reference as 12 Nov 1812. There is something about Zilpah having been married to a nephew of Richard and on his passing, she came to live with Richard. Her first child has her name and the birth lists as 1813 which would mean she was 26 when her first child was born.

    Text from https://sites.rootsweb.com/~longstrt/history.html (67. Richard) indicates he dies in 1848 but states he was 91 years old. Something is wrong with the math:

    RICHARD LONGSTREET died April 1, 1848 Aged 91 Years 1 mo. and 11 days Aged sire, thy work is finished Here on earth thy toils are o'er Brighter happier scenes surround thee Where thou'll dwell forevermore

    Either he died at 81 in 1848 or at 91 in 1858. The will states a date of April 13, 1858.
