1. ↑ Note year of birth variations found in the public record, death certitifate states 31 Aug 1850 (note other errors on death cert, i.e., name of his parents); census records indicate 1853, and Aug 1848; His headstone indicates 31 Aug 1848. Missouri, USA. Based on my research, 31 Aug 1850 seems the most likely, as was not listed with his family in the 1850 census. It is most likely that he was yet born when the family was enumerated.
