Although Granville's grave marker gives his birth year as 1885, this must be a mistake. He is enumerated on the 1885 Florida census as being age 5. Thus, his birth year would have been 1880. This does not conflict with the fact that he was not enumerated on the 1880 US Federal Census because the census date that year was 01 June, and he was born after that date (on 13 Aug). Lastly, on 12 Sep 1918, he gave his birth date as 13 Aug 1880 on his WWI draft registration card.
