    [Note: since this birth date is from a gravestone, it is not assumed to represent birth location. However, if the identification of his father is correct, his father would have been attending Harvard at the time, but some sources say elsewhere (Hardwick-see bio below, Raynham or Boston-father's birthplace on death records of his children). GR3=Mount Auburn Cemetery.]

    [Note: nothing is discernible from the picture. The memorial page says b. 5 Oct 1822, d. 28 Mar 1878, interred 2 May 1878, Line Avenue, Lot 3261. See birth record cited above. No death record found in Source:Massachusetts, United States. Massachusetts Death Records, 1841-1915, which is curious, given the long time between death and interrment.]
