I used the dates on his headstone but in 1860 census he was born in 1856 the ages and dates of the children seem to change a lot down thru the years including info from death certificates. In 1869 Frances his mother listed his birth as March 4, 1855, but his obit says he was 76 yrs 8 mos and 18 days old. In 1860 the children of Andrew and Frances Pitman Abbott order of birth which changes in later years:
Jackson Abbot 32 1828
Fanny Abbot 33 1827
Elizabeth Abbot 12 1848
Sarah J Abbot 10 1850
Polly A Abbot 8 1852
Elijah Abbot 7 1853
David Abbot 6 1854
Jackson Abbot 4 1856
Alfred Abbot 3 1857
I used the d/c said age 78 yr 10 mo and 18 ds (is different than in obit) to calculate his birth based on death date and age.
