  4. One presumes that the death date found in Norton reflects town records, but if so, it should be included in the New Hampshire Death Records. Instead a different date is found, but that record does not have enough identifying information to be sure it is the correct person. On top of that, it appears that Jacob is living with his son Anthony in Richmond, NH, when the 1870 census is taken in August of that year, suggesting neither death date is correct?
