GRAVE MARKER says 1758 - 1844?. Not 1753 or 1757. .his AGE is on the Grave Marker (years, months, days old). Can't be 1758 because of the birth of the Female Twins in 1758 and we have the BAPTISMAL record of that fact. All of the children were baptized in Haverstraw, Rockland (Orange) County. Per grave marker. Death date: Jun 13, 1844. Age 86 years, 3 months , xx Days which works out to March of 1858.....but with the TWINS this doesn't work.
