Jens Berquam was born in Black Hammer on 27 Mar 1869 and baptized on 17 May 1869 by Rev. F C Clausen. He appears in the 1870 census with his age given as 1, not 3/12, as it would have been recorded had he been born in 1870. His age is given in the death record as 19, not 18. There is no record in the 1870 Federal mortality schedule for the Jens born & baptized in 1869. There is no baptismal record for a Jens born in 1870.
So in spite of the date set in stone, which clearly reads 20 Mar 1870, there seems to be no good reason to deny this is the Jens Berquam born in 1869.
