Headstone reads "Died Jan 13, 1857, Aged 36 yrs, 7 mo, 20 days.

Multiple US Census records show William being 19 or 20 years younger than the year of Census. Aged 36 yrs agrees with that birth year. When using a calculator from "Timeanddate.com", it shows William to be born on 24 March 1820, when 36 yrs, 7mo, and 20 are subtracted from Jan 13, 1857. Thus, the birth date of William should be changed to agree with the Headstone.
