Based on William's recorded date of birth (Feb. 26, 1755), on the day William died he was 58 years and 2 days old. The Vermont Vital Record card of William's gravestone incorrectly transcribed it as having died on Feb. 28, 1815 at 56 years of age, obvious transcription errors. Unlike the correct use of the word "aged" on his wife Mary's gravestone, on the day William died he was 58 years old, and Ætatis suæ (i.e., Æ, "Aged," in the XX year of his Age) 59, NOT 58 as inscribed.
