Tombstone shows his birth year as 1840, however all Census indicate it was 1841, including the 1900 Census which shows birth as January 1841. I believe 1841 is the correct year of birth considering his younger brother Joseph was born in 1839 and it would have been only 7 months between Joseph birth and his.
