His gravestone gives the birth year as 1825, but the History of Colesburg, IA gives the earlier date I just entered. And considering the birth year for his wife, 1822 seems more reasonable.
Also FindaGrave gives two of his siblings as being born in the same year. One of them is my Great-great-grandmother Margaret C (Moreland) Baily and she was actually born in 1827.
I believe only Nancy W (Moreland) Peck was born in 1825.
