  8. ↑ Gravestone and Find a Grave record say 1865, but a late 1865 birthday inconsistent with not only the 1900 census, but all 5 other census records in which he appears, and would make James and Henry less than a year apart (possible, granted, but seems less likely than the reverse - that the first child followed quickly after marriage, with a year between pregnancies).
