A lot of secondary documentation that causes some confusion with James's Date of Birth, and no one alive today seems to know where the info on the marker was obtained from. Just to note, we will keep looking for definitive answers and update when we have more concrete data. But for now this is what we know...

1870 US Census listed as 2 years old.
1880 US Census listed as 12 years old.
1910 US Census listed as 48 years old.
1920 US Census listed as 58 years old.
1930 US Census listed as 68 years old.
1940 US Census listed as 77 years old.
Death Certificate confusion on either 1860 or 1868 the way it is written...
