#genealogy  I’ve been known to disagree with typically accepted vital stats for a relative.  Always bc of overwhelming facts - I dig everything out fresh and don’t take the collective /repeated answers, blindly. Sometimes to a nauseating point. 😂 

But the one I’m about to disagree is fairly monumental. But there’s not a single other fact that disagrees except his death. However it’s a HUGE disagreement. 

Instead of 1828, it’s 1893. 😳

The basis everyone uses is a grave marker. Normally that isn’t a problem.  But it is missing a notation from other death dates. I now wonder if it’s the date he was married to the wife listed. Or… it’s a human error (which I’ve seen FAR more than you’d expect).  The children even seal the deal (names and who they married).  

I’m going to still chew on this a while. It’s been wrong 30 yrs (online) and 50 yrs on paper, so another few months won’t matter. 🪦
