While Robert's headstone states his birth-year as 1841, he was actually born in 1838, and the 11th of 15 children born to this couple. He is 12-yrs old on the 1850 census with Emily (his younger sister) being 10-yrs old. I have seen more than several headstones with the wrong dates, as sometimes, people (or their descendants) were unsure of exact birth-dates .
