His gravestone says he was born in 1814, but the FAG entry must have said 16 Oct 1812 at some point, as that is what the Ancestry.com version of the FAG index has. He could not have been born in Oct 1814 if William was his brother and William's birth date of 23 Dec 1814 is correct. Oct 1812 is consistent with his age in the 1870 census (but not the 1850 census).
