Re: Birthdate 1811 vs. 1807

The 1850 census show 1807, this census also lists the wife and many children which match. A family tree says 1807 (I know they are not always reliable). A publication "North American Family History show the date as 06/01/1807. Also his marriage date shows 1828. The 1811 date would have made him only 17 yrs. old at marriage (possible, but not likely. His wife was also born in 1807. Cannot see the birth date on the stone.

His first marriage was to Patty Mace in December 1828. They had 10 children born to this marriage between 1830-1849. There are no Find A Grave memorials for her.
