Citation Notes: 
He is included in another Ancestry 1855 census (source below) that listed his age as 40 which would put his DOB as 1815, but this find a grave entry (without an image) lists his age as 1805. No other sources have currently been found so his DOB is currently marked as 1805, but this can change if more sources are uncovered.
