Notes
Birth
Calculated from 1870 Census. His gravestone shows 13 Apr 1866, which is consistent with the 1880 calculated birth year of 1866 (Age 14) and the 1900 Census showing Apr 1866. But the gravestone and the two Censuses must be wrong since his father died in the Civil War in 1864. The 1870 Census fits most appropriately.Census
