Although his stone and death cert say 1855, records show 1855 was not a leap year, the 1860 census shows him as 8, and 1852 was a leap year, the 1870 census showed 1854 and it was not, all other records show 1854, 55, or 1856 I am inclined to go with 1852, since it fits when both his parents were alive for the 1860 census, and fits with leap years and ages of siblings. Probably why both he and his brother Charles show the same date of birth, 1855, in some records.
