Dueling memorial pages: this one has a picture of his Revolutionary War marker, but it apparently gives the dates as 1724-1817, so another one was create to give the birthdate 13 Sep 1734 found in the records, but says his death date is "unknown". Ironically, neither has a picture of "the names of their eleven children are inscribed on the headstone in the churchyard."
