No, my Samuel was positively born in 1804. His gravestone reads that he was 66 years, 10 months, 29 days old. He died on August 1, 1871. Going back 67 years takes one to 1804. Adding 2 days to equal the 31 in August makes it Aug 3, and adding a month makes it September 3, 1804 for a date of birth.Even allowing for the 16 leap days would place his date of birth at August 18, 1804. So we know he was born between August 18 and September 3, 1804.
