When we look at the census records, it is likely that the tombstone death year of Thos Leroy was a guess. In 1870 he is 7, 1880 18, 1900 37, 1910 48, 1920 56. In the 1900 his birth month and year given as Dec 1862 and that is likely, looking at the other census records. Subtract his age from from his death year and you get 1863 making a Dec 1862 birth probable.
