The dates on David Chitwood's stone are very difficult to read. His name appears in the U.S.Federal Census Mortality Index for 1850, with death in April and age 46. Since the tombstone pretty clearly shows "Age 50 yrs", it has been decided to use Birth 1800 and Death Apr 26 1850, until someone can come up with proof otherwise.
