His age at death is given as 88 years, 7 months, 6 days, which would put his birth date as 17 Jul 1830. However, no census record supports this - from 1852 through 1901 they are consistent in placing his birth year between 1836 and 1839.
His death record identifies his father as Cephus Charron - no explanation for why this would be - and says his mother was unknown. The informant is Desire Charron, most likely the daughter mentioned in a few census records.
