3-30-22 Suggested edit: On the 1850 census Jesse's age is 8 and in 1860 his age is 18 which points to birth year 1842 instead of 1832. Further, if he was born in 1832 his mother Cynthia, age 25 on the census, would have been only 7 years old opposed to 17.

Indeed it appears the obit below may be correctly stated as it matches the death certificate, but wrong. Census ages are:
1850 - 8
1860 - 18
1870 - 28
1880 - 38
1900 - 69 born Jan 1831
1910 - 78
Oddly, it appears he gained exactly 10 years between 1880 and 1900.
Changed birth from 1832 to 1842, ks.
