There is much confusion over his birth year. According to the DAR headstone, it was 1759. According to the math (d.1852 at age 84) it would have been 1768. According to the Census records, it is 1767.

If he was 84 at the time of his death, as his original headstone states, then he would have been born in 1768 or possibly 1767, depending on the month.
