Horace's maarker clearly shows a date of birth of 1852. However, Horace is listed in the 1850 census as being 1 year old. Futhermore, if Horace had actually been born in 1852, he would have been younger than his brother, Josiah B Chapman. Horace is listed in the 1850 census, while Josiah is not, and he is listed as the older of the two boys in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. It appears most likely that, despite the evidence of the marker, Horace was actually born in 1849, which is his date of birth in family records.
