Compeller's Note:
His death certifiate lists his birth as 6 December 1860, however, he appears on the 1860 Census as 4 months old. His birth was probably in 1859, but who ever filled out the death certificate information, knew his birthday, but not his birth year. I have listed his birth date as it appears in his death record.
