Calculating the date of birth based on the age listed yeilds Tuesday, February 13, 1798, which does not match the date listed on the same headstone.
The 1850-1880 show 52, 62, 73, 83[3], respectively, wich puts the birth between 1797-1798.
Another more modern marker has been placed ajacent to the headstone mentioned above[4]. It is clearly legible, and appears have been placed near the headstone several years after the origonal headstone.
